Useless course, just like any other PD but, fortunately, much less tedious.

Applying for OSAP work term in fall? 2 points, 6 comments
u/mackymlllaaa: “I’m taking one course + PD 14 or something, do I apply for part time because my course load is like 20% or 40% (does PD count in course load?) or do I apply for full time because I’m doing co-op full tome? I asked SAFA but they haven’t replied yet.”
