saskatch15 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything about it. When filling out the transcript section, we are given the choice of designating the weight of each course, for instance: Semester (0.5), Full Year (1.0), or Other. Now, at my university, a "regular" lecture course is 3 credits, but there are also courses that include lecture and lab components worth 4 credits. Moreover, there are also lab-only courses worth 2 credits. So what weight would I put for these courses (under the 'Other' option)? It seems like this would make a big difference in GPA if we aren't able to distinguish them on the application... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directly from page 16 of the application manual. 6 credits = 1.0 5 credits =0.84 4 credits = 0.67 3 credits = 0.5 2 credits = 0.34 1 credit = 0.17 there you go!

T.O.Student. Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 But the only options you can choose for course weights are semester 0.5, trimester 0.33, full year 1.0, thesis 1.0 and other. I guess everything that isn't worth 3 credits would be under the "other" section than? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physiology2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi, I have a related question. For a 9 unit senior thesis should I select thesis (1.0) or other (since technically it should be 1.5). Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
