I think just to be qualified as a full time student you are required to have a 60% course load, so if you are a full time student you qualify.

I don't know about Ryerson, but at Western it's 5.0 courses required for first year, so if you wanted to do like 1 1.0 and 8 0.5 courses you could hypothetically. A 1.0 course would run both semesters, a 0.5 would run for one. As for 'spares' I don't think that exists from here on out lol.

If you plan on taking the regular first year for a full time program, you have a 100% course load.

With regards to checking co-op or not, do so if the offer you have mentions co-op. If it's a program that offers co-op but you have to apply for it during 2nd year or something, don't check it, as you are not currently in co-op.
