Considering your options
If you're thinking that another program might be a better fit, you can see how the courses you've already taken would apply to a different program with myProgress (currently limited to students in certain Faculties). Using the "What-if" tab, you can see how the remainder of your studies would look if you did decide to change programs.
For further information and to see if the tool is available to you, visit the myProgress info page.
