Wait lists
Students who register but are unable to get into a course because it is full may be included on a wait list. See the wait list procedure for further details.
Adding or changing a course
Students may add a course or change sections within the first week of classes. Late additions after the first week of a semester require permission of instructor(s) and/or the Dean, and require students to request a late course registration through their online student record. Students changing from audit to credit, or credit to audit must also submit a Student Record Change form signed by their instructor(s).
Withdrawal from a course, program, or the university
Students wishing to withdraw must do so officially. If students officially withdraw from a course by applying at a campus Registration Centre within twelve weeks after commencement of the term, the course(s) will be removed from the official transcript. A grade of “F” (Grade Point 00) will be assigned at the end of the semester if no official withdrawal form is submitted to a Registration Centre.
Late withdrawal or audit
In the event of demonstrated exceptional circumstances—such as death in the immediate family, a student’s illness or accident, serious emotional problems, or an error on the part of the University—a student may be able to withdraw or change to audit from one course or all the courses in a semester after the twelve-week deadline. This change can be made without academic penalty when approved by the instructor and Dean of Instruction.
In cases where the request for late withdrawal or audit is for all courses, it is subject to approval of the Registrar and is not required to be reviewed by the instructor and Dean of Instruction.
Students must complete a Late Withdrawal or Late Audit form citing reasons for withdrawal or late audit.
Late withdrawals or audits will be considered up to one year from completion of the course only.
Withdrawal from accelerated courses
Students who wish to withdraw from accelerated courses (7-week courses) must do so officially by applying at a campus Registration Centre within five weeks after commencement of the term. Failure to withdraw officially will result in an “F” grade (Grade Point 00).
