　　Narrator: isten to a conversation between a student and heracademic advisor.

　　Advisor:What’s on your mind, Sara?

　　Sara:Well, I’ve been taking a couple of biology classes this emester, and I really like it and well, I’d decided I’d like

　　to change my major field of study and get a degree in iology instead of math.

　　Advisor:Oh okay. But you only have two more years here before ou’re scheduled to graduate. And you know that is

　　probably not enough time to take all the courses you eed. So, if you change your major you may end up raduating late.

　　Sara:Well, but you know the biology department summer rogram, the one just for undergraduates?

　　Advisor:Sure, but the application deadline has already passed.

　　Sara:Oh yes, I know. What I wanted to ask is, well, do you know f any similar programs elsewhere where I can take the

　　courses and have the credits transferred here?

　　Advisor:Okay. I see now. Well, a few of our students have attended he summer program at the York Institute of Technology n the other side of the city. Their summer program in the iology is a good one. They offer a variety of areas to

　　focus on like cell biology, marine biology, even iotechnology. It will all be on their website.

　　Sara:Wow! Sounds good!

　　Advisor:You could take two courses there this summer which ould apply to your degree here.

　　Sara:Oh, but I would need to take three to graduate on time.

　　Advisor:Well, maybe you can do the York Summer Program and an ndependent study project with one of your biology

　　professors here.

　　Advisor:But many professors here have already left for the ummer, so you might have difficulty finding someone to

　　supervise you this summer. But maybe you could schedule up for next summer.

　　Sara:Now, that would work. I will do that. Do you know when the application deadline is for the York?

　　Advisor:It’s a week from now.

　　Sara:Guess I will have to act fast. But one thing. When I got mygrades back last semester, the grades from my

　　mathematical modeling class was wrong. It was lower than what I actually earned. My professor submitted the

　　paperwork to get it corrected but he said it could take us aweek before the right grade shows up on my official

　　records. What if York Institute wants to see my gradeswhen I apply?

　　Advisor:Well, if it’s not corrected in time, ask your professor towrite a letter explaining the situation and include it in your

　　application. That should be acceptable.
