VII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures

Adding Courses

All course additions to a student's program for a particular semester are to be completed by the end of the late registration period. On the last day of the late registration period (5th class day of the semester), students will be able to add courses up to a maximum of 2.50 credits on a first-come, first-served basis, as space in classes permits. Additionally, with a signature from the Program Advisor, under exceptional circumstances a student will be able to enrol in more than 2.50 credits earlier in the process.

The addition of a course after the end of the late registration period will be considered only in exceptional circumstances and will require the approval of both the instructor for the course and the Program Advisor of the program in which the student is enrolled. The Program Advisor’s signature should be sought first but does not presume the judgment 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 full week of classes; interchanging courses with common lectures, one with and one without labs; late resolution of appeals; failure of a deferred course condition or examination; university errors in registration procedures.
