rdiddles Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hey guys, Dal's website states:"For the purpose of assessing transcripts, full time study is deemed to be 5 full credits per academic year." In my last semester of 4th year, I only took 4 courses. I have been 5 per semester the rest of my undergrad. Does this mean my 4th year is technically not full time? Seems like a pretty harsh condition. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherbear Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yeah, that is why I took 5 courses each semester in my last year, even though I knew I didn't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdiddles Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Cool, thanks guys. So I guess my "most recent 2 full time years" will be second and third year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirurgus Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 If you really want to have your 4th year counted, contact the school and explain why you only had 4 courses that semester. I only took 4 courses per semester in my 3rd and 4th years and they were used to calculate my GPA. I just explained on the application the reason for my course load (because I was in a Nursing program so due to clinical I had no time for more courses and that is how the program is set up). Hopefully that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdiddles Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 thanks, turns out it doesn't really effect me, because Dal rounds their GPA to the nearest tenth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
