First year courses.

Hello hello.

 

Is there a limit to how many first year courses (level 100 courses) that a second year student can take before ontario schools start to dislike him/her? Is it bad for a second year student to take a total of 3 first year courses in second year?

 

Thanks.

There's a 3/5 rule... I believe it's U of T, UOttawa, and Mac.. But those schools may be wrong so don't hold me to it. It's where 3/5 classes must be equal to the year your in. So second year taking 3 first year courses would break that rule.

 

Well actually I meant to say, I will be taking three semestered (half) first year courses during my second year. So the credits will add up to 1.5 credits of first year courses. I assume I'm safe then? :P

Pretty sure it's actually just Western... It's definitely not Mac.

Western definitely does and specific requirements/details are listed on the admissions site. UofT only says the following, which doesn't quite seem to be a requirement but who knows.

 

Applicants are expected to have taken courses at a level corresponding with the year of their program. For example, a student who applies for admission while registered in the third year of undergraduate work should have at least three third-year or higher courses in his/her program. Applicants in the fourth year of their program should be enrolled in a majority of courses at the third- and fourth-year levels.

Also you wanna double check with your own school as well. At western you are not allowed to have more than 7 first year courses in order to graduate from your program. I think they have similar policies regarding the number of courses per year as well.
