 ====== Taking a CIS course at another university on a letter of permission end of Fall 2024, beginning of Winter 2025 guide======
-We wrote this because many of you will be asking questions while the University is closed December 21st to January 2nd.
 ''These assume you still like computing and want to catch up to not delay graduation. If you are not in Co-op and you're ok delaying graduation you can make up missed courses at Guelph next year.''
 If you dropped or failed a core CIS course in fall 2024 please read:

+ ==== If you are in first year Winter 2025 ====
+If you dropped or failed CIS*1300 take some time to consider whether you still like Computing and how you can approach studying differently. If you would like to continue with Computing you will need to re-take CIS*1300 at Guelph next Fall, which likely delay graduation. For study help consider [[https://www.uoguelph.ca/studentexperience/bounce-back/|Bounce Back]]
-==== If you are in first year Winter 2025 ====
+If you dropped or failed CIS*1910 there are options for students to make up CIS*1910 before next Fall. Currently, we know of an option at TMU through a Letter of Permission (https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/undergraduate/letterofpermission) over the Winter semester. If you don't make it up before next fall you will not be able to take semester 3 CIS courses, delaying graduation. There are no plans to offer CIS*1910 at Guelph in the winter or summer. CIS*2910 can be completed in any winter semester before graduation, it is not a pre-requisite for future CIS courses.
-If you dropped or failed both CIS*1300 and CIS*1910, take some time to consider whether you still like computing. If you do, you will likely need to re-take both courses at Guelph next Fall, which likely delays graduation. Also consider [[https://www.uoguelph.ca/studentexperience/bounce-back/|Bounce Back]]

 === Letters of Permission ===
-A letter of permission [LOP] approves a course at another university for transfer credit to Guelph. You will need to work on your own to become a visiting student at that university, register for courses at that university, and pay tuition to that university. The LOP does not register you in the course. University courses are not identical, they vary. The LOP course will not be an exact match for the Guelph course. It will be close, and the failed course + LOP course + some self study should help you to catch up and continue with your courses at Guelph. Grades do not transfer, they will be on your transcript with the other university.
