Why am I a "yes, if" person?

The admissions committee that reviewed your ParcourSup application determined that your profile indicated potential areas of concern. These areas of concern may include the subjects you chose in your junior and senior years**, low grades in science during your junior and senior years, a break in your studies, a *non-traditional* educational background, etc.

Am I treated differently if I say “yes”?

In certain tracks (Mathematics and Its Applications, Computer Science), TU will be offered to you starting in the first semester. In the other tracks, you are free to choose your courses: no options are closed to you because of your “yes, if” status; you will be in classes that mix “yes” and “yes, if” students, and you will take the same exams and quizzes.

So what exactly makes a “yes, if” so special?

This classification is not a penalty, much less a stigma. On the contrary, being classified as “yes, if” gives you special access to certain support services, including mentoring by master’s or third-year undergraduate students and one-on-one meetings during the first semester with faculty advisors from your academic track.

How does it work? A year in two parts

Semester 1

Specific, early intervention for “yes, if” children:

• Individual meetings withthe director of studies and the faculty advisors on the teaching team,
• Student mentoring forhelp with study skills or specific subjects,
• In some portals,remediation TU .

Choosing a Major in Semester 2

Toward the end of the first semester, it will be time to take stock and think about the next steps for this first year.

• If you don't have any particular difficulties, you can continue on to a standard L1 program,
• If you’re facing difficulties but completing your L1 in two years is a reasonable possibility, some programs offer a streamlined second semester, in which TU standard track are replaced bytailored remedial TU . This option means you’ll have to give up on completing the L1 in one year, but it allows you to build your skills so you can succeed at a more manageable pace. Of course, you will retain the credits TU during your first year.

The three portals offering this option are Maths and Its Applications, PCSI, and SVSE (see the second-semester syllabus for each portal by clicking the links below).

• If you feel that your initial choice of track was not the right one, in some cases you can arrangeto switch tracks forthe following year by following the internal TU as part of a lighter second semester. At the end of your first L1 year, you will repeat your first year in your chosen track to complete your L1 degree in two years.
• If you are experiencing significant difficulties that lead you to believe the School of Science is not the right program for you,course options for changing your academic trackwill allow you to make the most of your second semester and prepare your ParcourSup application under the best possible conditions. These courses are offered during the first 7 weeks of the second semester so that the grades can be included in your application.

The academic advising team will be there to help you choose the best path for you.
