sabrina96 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Can anyone familiar with FCEs tell me what counts as a 'full course load'? I have no idea how it converts to semester hours. Is 2.5 FCE in one semester a full course load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleS Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Full course load is 5.0 FCE over the Fall and Winter semesters, the summer semester is not included. You can have 3.0 FCE in one semester, and 2.0 in the next and it'll still be fine. Most people do 2.5 and 2.5 FCE in each semester because it's more manageable. This is not to be confused with full time student status - which is only 3.0 FCE (60% course load) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrina96 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks! If you're familiar with U of T, I'm a little confused about FCEs (sorry, I'm a transfer and this is completely different to my old uni's system), so I hope you don't mind me asking... Does enrolling in a class that is 1.0 FCE mean that that's your class for the fall semester, and one whole credit is taken entirely in the fall, or is it one class that runs over the entire year, so 0.5 FCE completed in fall and 0.5 in winter?

Bambi Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I believe it is for the full academic year, fall & winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruhh Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 If you're on a credit system at your university. 28 credits is sufficient to meet the FCE requirement. And that may or may not be 5.0 Full courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on the course code. For example: ABCY1Y = 1.0 FCE, full year (over Fall and Winter) ABCH1F = 0.5 FCE, Fall semester ABCH1S = 0.5 FCE, Spring/Winter semester ABCY1F = 1.0 FCE, Fall semester ABCH1Y = 0.5 FCE, full year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
