Canadian student - entering cousework on AADSAS?

Hey folks!

I emailed ADEA about this but haven't gotten a reply. I'm a student from the University of Toronto, and I'm currently filling out my AADSAS app. The Coursework section instructs me to enter in things exactly as they appear on my transcript. This brings up two issues:

My transcript displays yearlong courses in a peculiar manner. In the Fall semester, it displays the course, but under grade displays "IPR" for "In Progress". In the Winter semester the course is displayed again but the final grade is indicated. As such I've put the course into both semesters/sessions on my application but indicated the grade in both semesters. Is this right? Or should I only put the course in one of the semesters, despite being a yearlong course?

Secondly, U of T does not use a credit-hour system, but rather assigns 0.5 credits for a halfyear course and 1.0 credits for a fullyear course. I've stuck these in as they are indicated on my transcript, but should I convert them to semester hours? Similarly, if I have to put in a yearlong course in two semesters, should I put "0.5" credits for each?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Cheers!

I am also from U of T, and have spoken with another about it.

we both enter each 0.5 credits as 3 hours

So you split the fullyear courses between the two and enter the grade and 3 hours for each?

What about courses with lab components? Still 3?

yeah, with lab it is still 3. it is screwed up i know.
