Adding Courses

(Note: These procedures may change with the new student information system.)

All course additions to a student's program for a particular semester are to be completed by the end of the add period.

The addition of a course after the end of the six day add period will be considered only in exceptional circumstances and will require the approval of both the instructor for the course and the program counsellor of the program in which the student is enrolled. The program counsellor's signature should be sought first but does not presume the judgement of the instructor as to the appropriateness of the late addition for his or her particular course. In practice, the following have been deemed to be exceptional circumstances: illness or compassionate grounds for missing all or part of the first three class days; interchanging courses with common lectures, one with and one without labs; delayed departmental permission to enter Limited Enrolment courses; late resolution of appeals; failure of a deferred course condition or examination; university errors in registration procedures.

may be added up to the end of the add period. Permission of the department is not required. Regular courses are those courses that are not designated as limited enrolment.

A student who wishes to enrol in a course for which he or she does not have credit for the stated prerequisites may seek permission from the instructor to have the prerequisites waived. The student seeking the waiver must obtain a "Waiver of Prerequisites" form and have it completed by the instructor.
