Costs for switching a 2nd semester courses - MacInsiders - Student-run McMaster University Help Forum

i already paid my WHOLE tuition costs for the amount in the beginning of the year.

I now want to switch one of my electives in second semester to something else.

If I do, are they going to charge me even more OR will the money that was supposed to go towards the old course be transferred to the new courses and therefore i don't have to pay additionally

help please, thanks!

you dont pay anything extra if units are the same (they will be 99% of the time). so youre fine if you just dropped a 3 unit course and added another one for 2nd term.

Usually it's free (assuming you are taking a 3 unit course). It may also differ abit based on the department you are taking it from (example, eng courses are different in cost than commerce)

What matters is the program you are enrolled in, not the department the courses are from.
