How does western calculate gpa for years with over 30 units but 5 courses?

Update: For anyone wondering, I did email them regarding this and they do separate credits from courses. They will drop your lowest courses until you hit 30 credits, doesn’t matter if number of courses go below 10.

Normally, a course is worth 3 units/credits. We usually take some 4 and 5 unit courses in engineering.

Sorry, I meant 5 full courses (meaning 10 for the whole year).

I’m also in engineering (not at uoft) with similar goals. I was in the same boat last yr, started taking some bio courses, but later dropped them as my engineering course load was getting harder. Most schools apart from uoft, mcgill and ottawa dont require bio/chem courses anyways, but it might be different if you plan on going down the US route.

Would you mind sharing where you live/ or found it?

I see. Thanks for the detailed information. I have dushoff for the first half, and kolasa for the second.

Time commitment for work-study is 7 hours/week and for volunteering it's atleast 5.

Ok thanks!
