Computing Candidature Conversion between Part-time and Full-time

Based on the maximum candidature in each program – 6 years (12 semesters) for PT and 4 years (8 semesters) for FT.

The conversion ratio of PT:FT is 1:0.66 and FT:PT is 1:1.5


Computing Remaining Candidature - Transferring Part-time to Full-time

The remaining candidature of a PT student transferring to FT after completing 4 semesters as a PT student is:

Max. FT candidature = 8 semesters

Conversion Ratio = 0.66

8 semesters – (0.66 conversion ratio* 4 completed semesters)

= 5.36 semesters OR 2.5 years.

Use the formula:  8 – (.66 * no. of completed semesters)


Computing Remaining Candidature - Transferring Full-time to Part-time

The remaining candidature of a FT student transferring to PT after completing 4 semesters as a FT student is:

Max. PT candidature = 12 semesters

Conversion Ratio = 1.5

12 semesters – (1.5 conversion ratio* 4 completed semesters)
= 6 semesters OR 3 years.

Use the formula:  12 – (1.5 * no. of completed semesters)
