Hi,

How do I register for MED 503 and MED 603 for my second term? I checked the school's website and there are no pre-requisites for MED 603, so I don't have to worry about taking a MED 5_ _ course before taking MED 603. I also won't have any issues with my loans for this term either. Can students, who have registered for decreased course loads in the past, please let me know how I register for these 2 courses only? What are the steps?

Thanks.

It might be because we don't know what you're talking about. What are those two courses, and why do you have to register for them? Admin usually just registers us for courses.

These courses are from the school website, under Admissions-->Curriculum-->Basic Science


MED 503 –Introduction to Infomedicine-3 credits
MED 603 – Medical Psychology-9 credits

I was told it's possible to take reduced course loads as many times as students want. Can students confirm this?
And if yes, would I just tell admin the courses I want to sign up for, for that particular term?

I'm guessing that you aren't even in first semester yet. Otherwise, you wouldn't refer to classes by their course code, nor would you be asking how you can take intro to infomedicine, or informatics as it is normally called, during your second semester.

Also, you can't just take whatever you want. Rules have changed over the past few years. Usually, taking a reduced load involves some working with admin to find the best courseload. There's usually a 'standard' reduced courseload, depending on your circumstances (depending on what you failed, what semester you're in, etc.) that admin will accomodate.

Which is completely based on the schedule

But there were posts saying that students can decel as many times as they want. Doesn't decelling mean taking lighter course loads?

That's not true, as I believe there is an official limit now. I believe the most flexibility you'll get is negotiating something with admin, though. Generally, a reduced courseload (assuming you didn't fail, cuz that changes things) involves:
- Splitting semester 2 and 3 into three semesters
- Splitting semester 4 and 5 into three semesters

But like he said, it depends on scheduling and a lot of things. Hence, you basically have to negotiate with admin on a case by case basis to make it work.

So you are trying to 'decell' before you even get here?
