Does U of T accept summerschool courses??

Thx in advance!

 

Here is my understanding of summer school:

 

1- If you took full load (5 courses) in the summer, then the school would consider both the courses taken for "Prerequisite Courses" requirements and the marks for GPA

 

2- If took 1-2 courses (i.e. less than full load), then the courses will only be used for the "Prerequisite Courses" requirement, but not for GPA calculation.

 

I hope that helps.

Here's how they put it on the U of T website:

 

"Summer and Part-Time Courses

 

Summer courses are considered as supplemental work and are not included in the applicant's GPA calculation. However, courses taken during the summer or on a part-time basis are counted, if successfully completed, in the total number of credits and for prerequisites.

 

In those academic programs where the summer session is a regular academic session (e.g, in co-operative programs, or trimested programs), and a regular academic courseload is taken during the summer, these courses will of course be counted in the GPA calculation. For example, this would occur if a co-op student is on a scheduled work term in the winter session, and then completes their regular academic year over the summer and fall sessions."
