McMarauder Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'll definitely go in on Monday. I'll need to get to know the campus anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md16 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Medhopeful64: I asked this same question on the UWO forum. I know that when completing a second degree, 60% of your courses must be from senior level courses but I am confused as to what constitutes as senior level courses with respect to second degrees. I have heard that 2000+ courses count as part of the 60% but am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too, I read around here somewhere that what defines a "senior course" is different for second degree students...something like not having a prereq? not sure Maybe I'll try calling western on Monday and see if I can figure it out.

McMarauder Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I am wondering if anyone was able to succesfully challenge some of their transfer credits. When I was at Mac, the physiology courses I took were Animal/mammalian physiology courses. I was expecting to be exempted from Kine 2011 and Kine 3012, but because they are HUMAN physiology courses, I am required to take them at York. I was at york today and spoke to admissions, the faculty of health and the kine department and they all told me to write an appeal, but chances are, the animal physiology courses will not exempt me from the human physiology courses. (they've had transfer/2nd degree students in my situation before). This is a problem because my Mac physiology courses and Kine2011+kine3012 courses, in the eyes of UWO dentistry, are "equivalent". I've already spoken to UWO about this and they said that it won't look so good.

Include it in the appeal letter and hope for the best. York hasn't been very understanding to me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMarauder Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm considering taking the physiology courses in the summer or even online through athabasca... edit: I just remembered that the Physiology textbooks we used at Mac were HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY despite the fact that the courses were called animal physiology.. We'll see how this appeal goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I know someone from the forum who took the courses through Athabasca. If you are interested in getting in touch with them to ask them about the course, I can probably arrange that. TRU-OL offers it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMarauder Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 that'd be great. thanks! out of curiosity, how far is everyone commuting to york? I'm pretty sure my 1hr commute is short in comparison to many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 that'd be great. thanks! out of curiosity, how far is everyone commuting to york? I'm pretty sure my 1hr commute is short in comparison to many others. About 40 mins here until next year when we will likely move a bit closer. Sadly driving will be my option since go train times dont work favourably with my return time home after classes are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrail Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 that'd be great. thanks! out of curiosity, how far is everyone commuting to york? I'm pretty sure my 1hr commute is short in comparison to many others. Sort of off-topic from the OP, but I learned a great tip to keep costs down while commuting to York U last year. Parking passes are insanely expensive, especially if you only have class a few days a week - not worth it imo. So, when you park in the larger "no reserve" lots on the periphery of campus (off Steeles) it's $10. But, then when you go to leave you find a car coming into the lot and he/she pays you $5 for your parking stub. Alternatively, when you're coming in to the lot you find someone who is leaving and give them $5 for their stub. Sometimes I had to wait a few minutes for someone to either come in or leave the lots, but it saved me a ton of money doing this. GL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I guess I'm someone who doesn't mind paying for their parking. I don't consider $700 to be that bad personally but then again I am not a traditional broke ass student lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medhopeful64 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I was hoping to pose a question to you second UG students at york - is there a 50% residency requirement? I spoke to an academic advisor for a possible 2nd UG in psyc, and she told me that's an "old requirement." Also, do the Gen Ed requirements (ie modr, humanities, social science) have to be in different departments or can they overlap? (ie say you did two full year language courses - would this count for a maximum of just one of the Gen eds?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
