what happens if you transfer to subjects not credited for your new degree? (1 Viewer)

do they count and affect ur wam?? like I'm moving from commerce to science and business and econ1203 will be a waste as its not able to be completed in that program
thanks

It will not be counted unfortunately. You will need to do extra courses to complete your new degree.

 

[jeann2014]

so the mark won't affect wam but it would still go on transcript?

 

[Shadowdude]

Yes, it'll be counted as a free elective or gen ed.

 

[jeann2014]

for acct1501 and econ1101 , these are compulsory under b business and science, and i think I'm going to get distinctions for these this semester, so when i transfer from b commerce to b science and business i really want them to affect my wam. will they??

It may or may not be counted as a gen ed or free elective, as Shadowdude said, but more importantly, it will still count towards your WAM.

 

[jeann2014]

ok great. well not for 2 of my subjects but great for the other 2 so to clarify...your wam is any subject you took in university no matter what degree averaged.
because it said differently somewhere else

Ah, this I am not sure about. I don't think there's much info online.

For internal transfers, all courses count towards your WAM.
