course registration helppp
ok, so i'm transferring from Queen's University into physical science, and my plan is to get into

medical physics in 2nd year. I have 24 units transferred: japanese (6units, didn't have course code),

biology 1mo3,1ao3, chemistry 1ao3,1aa3, physics 1bo3,1bb3. These credits are requirements for

the 1st year, but frankly i don't have math, so i can't take any of the 2nd year courses.

That means i'll have to take 2 maths and some other courses. Medical physics also requires

kinesiology 1yo3,1yy3, math1bo3, medphys1eo3 by the END OF THE SECOND YEAR. So i got into

math 1bo3, medphys 1eo3 as well as the 2 maths (1ao3+1aa3). and i need 12 more units to be a

full time student. So i tried to take kinesiology but it was already full. (this was kinda unfair for me

because they messed up my account and i couldn't use SOLAR on the registration date) When they fixed

my account and gave me a call(associate dean's office), I asked them if i can take kinesiology because

I will need it to get into medical physics, and they said I can't unless there is an available seat, because

I can take it next year. I also e-mailed the faculty of kinesiology and they said no to it. so..

What should i do now? I put linguistics 1ao3+1aa3 and astronomy 1fo3+2eo3, just to keep the 24 units.


P.S. I was going to take physics 1ba3 because i don't remember anything (i took 1bb3 it in 2008-2009)
but it says i don't have the requisites for 1ba3 (prolly cuz they are antirequisite) do you think it
will affect my future physics courses? as in how much i understand and stuff? and are those two
courses (1ba3 and 1bb3) different? like COMPLETELY DIFFERENT?

sorry it's kinda long..

Keep trying when SOLAR reopens in July and then in August.

1BA3 and 1BB3 is the same material but 1BB3 is geared towards biology students.

good luck man because from the looks of this, you might need to stay in another year or do summer school.
