- The course is restricted to a specific specialization or program other than your own (scroll down to read more about restrictions)
- You are missing a pre-requisite for a course*
- The course section is full*
- Instructor consent is required to be added into the course*
- You are attempting to add a course after the Add period has ended*
- You already are registered in a full course load (2.5 credits)
*BA Counselling is unable to sign students into courses for the starred reasons above.
Once signed, waivers are brought to The LINC, the 3rd floor, University Centre or emailed to es@uoguelph.ca (Enrolment Services). Scroll down to read who needs to sign your Course Waiver Form.
After adding a course, either on WebAdvisor or through Course Waiver, please double check your schedule to confirm that the course has been added and that there are no schedule or exam conflicts.
