Frequently Asked Questions
A: This is a very normal thing for undergraduate students, particularly in their first and second years of post-secondary. The first year in particular is often about taking prerequisites and program requirements, so a change in major will not typically delay graduation. Encourage your student to talk with a Registration Advisor and/or Career Services.
A: Your student should take a look at the Academic Calendar, which includes an Academic Schedule. This has all important dates for students to take note of, including tuition deadlines, add/drop deadlines, and holidays.
A: A full course load is 5 three credit courses, but students are full-time students whether they are taking 3, 4, or 5 courses. This means that they maintain their full-time status with Student Aid Alberta and 糖心logo taking 3 or more three credit courses. We often recommend that first-year students take 3 or 4 courses in their first term, rather than 5. This gives them an opportunity to adjust to a higher workload and new expectations. They might consider taking a Spring or Summer course later in their program to complete their degree in a timely manner.
A: If a student fails a course, it will affect their grade point average (GPA). If your student is concerned about failing, suggest that they visit Student Life and Learning to inquire about Tutoring Services and other learning supports. If a student drops/withdraws from a course, it will not affect their GPA. We suggest that students talk with a Registration Advisor and/or someone from Student Life and Learning if they think they need to withdraw from a course.
A: 糖心logo are encouraged to take a look at the program planners on our site as well as talk with a Registration Advisor.
A: 糖心logo have access to through their students鈥� association. If the student can prove that they have other, equivalent coverage, they can opt out – just be sure to note the opt-out deadline.
