making up a credit and failing a course..
I'm in health aging and society the B.A and i have already dropped a course before november 12th. Will I be able to take an extra course in second term to make up for that? I'm doing so well in all my classes though, except for anthro- human species (i havent taken a sciency course since grade 10).. and i am worried i might fail it. If i fail a course, does that mean i HAVE to take it in summer school? because I'm able to be accepted into third year H.A and Society with 54 units, and at the moment I have 57 so I can still "drop" another 3 unit course. So will i havee to take summer school, or can I just make it up for the failing class in third year?

Also, what happens if you drop a course after the deadline, its failure by default right? What about if your on osap and the financial consequences? So I might as well try and pass the exam rather than just dropping it..

You should be alright but it doesn't hurt to talk to your academic advisor.

Yes, if you cancel the course after the deadline it's registers as a 0. For OSAP you should always be updating them if you have any course load changes or financial changes, talk to SFAS in Gilmour Hall.
