full-year courses?

[j975]

Hi all,

I want to take 2 full-year courses next year, however, I also plan to apply to the OVC in december of next year. Assuming the two full-year courses were taken in an acceptable full-time semester, would I be able to use the other 3 courses as part of my pre-requisites? Would I be able to get an interim report and use some "interim grades" from the full year courses?

Thanks!

Interim grades are not acceptable.

Your other courses in the fall semester can be used as prerequisites but that semester cannot be used for the last two full time semester average calculation.

Wait, so full year courses can't be used as prerequisites?

But the admissions website says "A course that runs the full year will have the credit weight divided equally and half applied to each of the two semesters the course is taken. "

Which I thought meant it would be alright to use full year courses as a pre-requisite, I even had them approved on a course evaluation, can you use full year courses as prerequisites if they are completed?

Also, when you say the last term ending in December can't be used, is that because the full year course would still be in progress, or is that semester never used as one of last 2 semesters? And if so, if the 2 semesters of the year prior contain a full year course what happens then? Is the grade of the full year course used twice, once for each semester?

That's not what I said. If you are in progress of taking a year course when you apply you cannot use that course since we won't have a final mark by March 1st.

And so if a course like that makes the average from the last two full-time semesters unusable, will the average from the semester before that etc.(as in disregarding W17 and using F16 and F17 instead) be used, or is it impossible to apply?
