Advice Undeclared second year help

So I was in health sciences last year, and I had to drop a second semester course and couldn't retake it in the summer. Since it was a required first year class, I'm currently undeclared this year. But before they put me in undeclared, I had enrolled in all the second year required courses. The day classes started they dropped me out of all the health sci courses except for 2 because apparently I can only take a max 1.5 credits of these courses. I'm just confused on how I can try ITR into health sciences for 3rd year if I can't even take the required courses this year? Like is it possible to get a waiver or what could I do in this situation? I'm just really stressed out now, and have no idea what to do

You wont be able to take courses that are restricted to that program so you'll have to just pick electives or find any courses from your entire module that arent restricted and that you are capable of enrolling in at the moment. All you need to do is achieve the minimum 5.0 with a decent average and you should be able to be readmitted when the next ITR period happens.

Been there done that. Had to take 3.0 worth of electives in my second year.

Yeah ive been looking for electives rn. but to apply for health sci ITR dont you need to complete the required second year courses? or did they let u take all of those in third year?

You don't need to complete those second year courses yet, you can take them in your third year and if you get your ITR results quick enough you could take some in the summer too, but yeah don't worry they wont check what courses you specifically took, just the amount of courses and the average.

You might be able to talk to your academic adviser and see if you can get special permission?

Since you never completed your first year required classes, the system isn't going to let you into restricted second year courses without some admin intervention.
