I figured they have spots reserved for both. Considering how much emphasis they were putting on taking things in your specialty I find this ironic Hawkmoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM_FF Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hi all. Long time lurker here. I just want to thank everyone for their input over the months. It has been a great help for me and many others I'm sure. I got my acceptance to NPSIA back in March/April and am still stoked. I got admitted to the Conflict Resolution and Analysis field, which was my first choice, but I've had a change of heart since. I am now hoping to switch into DFP. I was able to enroll in DFP courses after July 10, but am still unable to register into the econ courses for that field. I'm curious, did anyone successfully enroll in an econ course outside their field? I was shocked to see that a lot of the courses that I had my eyes on were filled up before I could even register. By reading the comments here, it seems that some had earlier time tickets than others. I am currently located in Waterloo, ON and was looking forward to relocate to Ottawa. That's obviously been put on hold for the fall, and judging by today's email, for the winter as well. I am wondering what your relocation plans are or how many of you chose to move to Ottawa, regardless of the situation. Hope to meet you all soon!

You will anyway have at least one elective by the time you graduate. If that course seems interesting to you, then I would recommend you take it!

Like Elle said I assumed ( ...And we all know what happens when you assume something...) that since IPIS shared some of the courses NPSIA would ensure that there would be enough seats that both sections got access. I see that NPSIA Students Assoc. had a blurb on FB that many students over enrolled. Possibly that is what happened...

I recall reading an email earlier this year that specified they would be more "sympathetic" to final econ grades in light of the current situation. Don't quote me on that though.
