Credits messed up?

fuuuuu

Hi, in a bit of a panic before change of mind closes here.

Because I didn't inform myself enough about the whole credit business, last week I changed to having 45 credits registered for core modules and 15 for electives. I thought that because they added up to 60 it was okay.

Now that I know you can only do 10 credits worth of electives and need 50 for core modules I've tried to drop one elective and take up another core module.

Problem is- there's only one left for me to take which is in history. And it's full. So it won't let me pick it and I'm stuck like this.

Basically I want to know how bad this is and if it's going to mess me up going into 2nd year? Will I be okay if I still earn a total of 50 credits from the core modules and electives?

You just have to ring them up or e-mail them and tell them the module is full, im pretty sure they'll squeeze you in.

or go into your program office on the first day, they can just override the system and fix it for you.

Thanks, I rang and she said there's nothing to be done about the class being fulll...But somehow my extra elective is okay because it still allows for "maximum progression" or something. So it's okay

Is one of your electives in the same area as your core subject? If so it might just not count as an elective.

No, I couldn't get a place in anything to do with my core subjects. I was told my current situation is "not technically correct" but that it shouldn't be problematic...
I mean, in terms of progressing with my 2 of core modules I meet the requirements there.

I didn't bother with electives, I just picked extra options from within my own course, it's worth knowing if you don't fancy doing something outside your field of study.
