Level II requirements
Hi, I'm in first year social sciences but I failed one 3 unit course first term and dropped a 6 unit course this term and now I am realizing that I might now have enough units to get into second year. How many units do I need/what does my average need to be?

You need at least 24 units to get into a level II program, I guess you could take summer school to get those units, but I'm not too sure about what to do now, you should chat with an academic advisor and they'll put you on the right path.

I agree with jamescw1234 with summer schooling, since it gives you a lot more free time to work and get your mind focused on it.

For example, I failed 3 courses in first semester of first year and got a 12 in summer doing something else....

And now I'm in Honours LS!

Cheer up! ^_^

EDIT:
PS: Take Japanese Studies courses if you have electives/or if it is required in you Soc. Sci. Courses, 2TT3 and 2P03 are fun bird courses if you study! Dr. Mark Rowe will make your day in lectures!
