Continuous Registration: Students must register in their program on a continuous basis to ensure a place in the program. Students who want to temporarily discontinue their program must obtain prior approval for a Leave of Absence by submitting a request to the Undergraduate Programs Office. Discontinuance without permission requires the student to seek readmission and, in this case, readmission is not guaranteed.

Normally, a Leave of Absence is granted only if all the following conditions are met:

Normal Course Load: A normal full academic course load is 30 taken during Fall/Winter.

Normally, permission to enrol in extra courses (beyond 18 in Fall and Winter or 7.5 in Spring and Summer) is not granted. Where a student wishes to enrol in more than the maximum allowed credits during any term, a request must be submitted to the Undergraduate Programs Office. Such requests will be considered only if the student has obtained a minimum GPA of 3.3 on a minimum of 24 during the previous Fall/Winter period.

Directed Studies Courses: Students are normally allowed a maximum of 6 Directed Studies courses to count toward their degree program.

In order to be eligible to complete a Directed Studies course, students must have completed a minimum of 30 and be in good academic standing. Students must complete an application form to enrol in a Directed Studies course, available at the Undergraduate Programs Office.
