zerochance Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hey, so apparently if you don't take a 100% course load then ORPAS will average the yearly grade instead of simply calculating each of the last 20 courses? Is this correct? I thought only UofT does this averaging stuff, and I Thought they only do it if they have to go back to a year to extract grades as part of the last 20 courses. I thought whether you take 5 or 3 courses per term is irrelevant but it appears that it matters? I'm rather confused and I have no idea what's going on. I have read a lot in the websites to no avail. I mean is the averaging thing designed to penalize people for not taking a 100% course load? I really don't get it. Thanks in advance for any help.

PT1234 Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Im pretty sure for most schools it is irrelevant, and all Ontario schools do the extraction method if they need to take a few courses out of a previous year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTPTPT Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I found it so confusing too especially cause my school doesn't have full-year courses. Took me awhile to figure out. But because some schools have full-year courses, they extract using the average of that year (at least that's the reason I read on U of T's website or ORPAS, I forget). It definitely didn't work to my advantage but I don't think it's intended to penalize for less than 5 courses/term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
