    You can still register for both but you're gonna have to talk to one of the profs and get an exam rescheduled. Let them know by first week of school.

    awesome. i will do that asap when school starts but is there a chance that i might get screwed over because both profs are being idiots and say no?
    You shouldn't worry about that, they'll work it out. What is the exam conflict, though? Do both exams take place at the same time?

    I thought the SIS didn't allow people to register themselves in classes with conflicting exams?

    yup it doesnt. And he enrolls tomorrow.

    Chances are you will only be allowed to register for one of the classes and then the other one you would have to go talk to the departmental advisor for that course to be registered with an exception to defer the final exam

    Step 1. Drop one of the two classes.
    Step 2. Find a new class that you are interested in, since that's what they recommend to do in the first term of your freshman year.
    Step 3. Take the class you dropped in the spring term instead.
    Step 4. ???
    Step 5. Profit!

    Well, co-req means that you have to take it at the same time as the other co-req course. Make sure you read the description before trying to add something. They tell you what you need in order to take the course when you click on the name of it.

    Conflicts are hard to go around, but manageable. Try to plan ahead.

    You gotta do what you gotta do!

    BISC 100 is a lot of stuff to memorize so if you do the work throughout the semester you should be fine.

    can i just take 17 credits and drop a course later like in the first week of school? (without any penalty on my transcript like a W)?
    You can and you won't get a W but you may be charged like $50-100 depending on when the day is.

    If you plan on dropping, make sure you keep up with the deadlines. I wouldn't recommend that high of a course load unless you're planning to go to a med school (or other graduate school) that requires it.

    If you do plan on taking 17 credits, I really hope you're used to studying a whole lot.

    I'd say if it's your first semester at SFU it's better to take 14 just to see what it's like and then decide if you want to do more after you see how your semester went.

    yea thats why i want to take 15 credits or above(preferably exactly 15). maybe i should just take 14 this semester and 16-17 next semester and try to take 15 each semester after that. think grad/med school would frown upon that?
    You would have to do your research on if they allow 14 credit and 16 credit split. I'm really not sure. Try and email the school in question and ask, if the information isn't available online. Some med schools only require 2 years of full course load, while others may require more.

    for med, as long as you do 30 credits a year let it be fall/spring/summer or any combo as long as you do 30 credits you are good to go.

    Most of the med schools now only look at your last 60 credits anyways (the last 2 years of school)
