 General Information
A student is considered registered after an Intent to Register has
been submitted to the Office of the Registrar. After the Intent to
Register has been processed by the Office of the Registrar, an
acknowledgement of registration is mailed to the student. Students
are responsible for the payment of fees that arise from
registration and are indebted to the University unless cancellation
is received, in writing, prior to the commencement of classes.
Please refer to the Schedule of Dates on pages xiii-xxiii of the
Calendar for information regarding final dates for registration and
late fees. It is the student's responsibility to supply a correct
and current address to the Office of the Registrar.

 Academic Advising
Although academic advising is available within each individual
department and/or faculty, Dean's Office, it is solely the
responsibility of students to ensure that they are properly
registered and meet course requirements as well as the requirements
of the program for which they are registered. The section of the
Calendar stating Academic Regulations as well as the relevant
program requirements and course information should be reviewed
carefully by all students.

 Course Selection
Courses are selected in accordance with the prescribed requirements
of a program.

    Students registering in an Honours program are responsible for
having their total program approved at the beginning of each
academic year by the department(s) concerned.

    Students registered in a General program are responsible for
having the courses of the major subject approved by the department
concerned.

    All students are responsible for the completeness and accuracy
of their own registration. Students should ensure that as they
proceed they take the necessary prerequisites for individual
courses.

    The University reserves the right not to offer elective courses
for which there is insufficient registration. Some courses listed
in this calendar are not offered each year.

 Registration for Part-time Students
 Please refer to the appropriate Continuing Education Handbook
and "Courses Offered" publication for registration procedures and
for registration dates of each term and session.

 Pre-Registration for Full-time Students
Students have an opportunity to select courses for the following
year by pre-registering.

    Returning students normally pre-register in March.

    First Year students normally register in June  and July after
they have received their offers of admission. Details are included
with the offers of admission.

 Cross-Registration of Courses at the University of Waterloo
 The Joint Co-operative Advisory Council of Wilfrid Laurier
University and the University of Waterloo has established an
agreement whereby students of either university may cross-register
to take courses at the other institution. The main objective is to
make courses available which currently are not offered at
the student's home institution.

    Students on academic probation are not permitted to
cross-register. Students must register and pay fees at their home
institution. Courses taken at the University of Waterloo may not
be used to meet residence requirements. Cross-registration forms
and instructions are available in the Office of the Registrar.

    Deadlines with respect to pre-registration, registration and
course adds will follow those of the home university.

    Deadlines and procedures with respect to course drops will
follow those of the home institution. Examination scheduling
conflicts will be resolved at the home university.

    Petitions for deferred examination privileges are submitted to
the host university.

 Students Registering at Wilfrid Laurier University on a Letter of
Permission
 Students registered at another university wishing to take courses
for transfer credit to their home university may register on a
Letter of Permission. An application for admission must be
submitted to the Ontario Universities' Application Centre and a
letter of permission from the home university must be submitted to
the Office of the Registrar, Wilfrid Laurier University.

 Change in Registration
Any course or section change after registration must be made on the
Program/Course Change Request Form and submitted to the Office of
the Registrar. Changes must be approved by the appropriate faculty
member or department before they are accepted. Please refer to the
Academic Dates section of the Calendar (pages xiii-xxiii) for
deadlines as they affect your academic and financial records.

 Adding or Withdrawing from Courses
A course must be added no later than 12 calendar days from the
beginning of term lectures. This regulation applies to Spring Term,
Fall Term, Winter Term, and full-credit courses taken over the
September to April academic year. Please consult the schedule of
calendar dates for the corresponding dates for six week courses.

    The final dates for withdrawing from courses without penalty
of failure are:
Fall Term courses - End of eighth week
Winter Term courses - End of eighth week
Full-credit courses - End of eighth week of Winter Term.

    Please consult the Academic Dates section (pages xiii-xxiii)
for actual dates for withdrawal from courses without penalty of
failure.

    The final date for withdrawing from six week courses is the end
of the fourth week of lectures.

    A grade of  'F'' will be assigned if a student withdraws after
the final date.

    For the corresponding Intersession, Spring Term and Summer
Session dates, please consult the Academic Dates section (pages
xiii-xxiii).

 Notes:
 1. The onus for notifying the Office of the Registrar of
    withdrawal and for completing the change request form rests
solely upon the student. Simply ceasing to attend lectures, even
if the instructor is informed, does not formally constitute
withdrawal and will result in a failing grade.
 2. A change from registration for credit to audit must be made no
    later than the final date for withdrawing without failure.

 Withdrawal from Full-time Studies
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from full-time studies
must obtain a "Notice of Withdrawal" form from the Office of the
Register. The form must be signed by both the Dean of the
Faculty/School and the Registrar. The student identification card
must be submitted with the form.

    Students who leave the University without completing The Notice
of Withdrawal will have each of the applicable courses recorded as
a failure.

    The policy outlined under Adding or Withdrawing from Courses
applies.

    Students who withdraw without completing the proper form will
not be eligible for any refund of fees.

    Students holding scholarships or loans must bear responsibility
for meeting obligations in returning or repaying funds.

records, each student is required to provide either on application
for admission or on personal data forms required for registration,
their complete legal name. Any requests to change a name, by means
of alteration, deletion, substitution or addition, must be
accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation. Upon making
application for graduation students may be asked to provide proof
of their name.

 Application for Graduation

graduation. Application forms are available at the Office of the
Registrar and must be submitted no later than February 1 for Spring
Convocation and August 1 for Fall Convocation. If the
application is not received prior to these dates, the University
cannot be responsible for completing arrangements in time for
graduation.

 Records, Examinations, and Course Work Materials
Information received by the University in support of a student's
application for admission, all of the student's academic and other
records, and all examination papers and other material submitted

with respect thereto.
