REGISTRATION
Under the trimester system students must register for each semester.
1. New Students
After the Application for Admission form and the relevant documents have
been assessed, the applicant will be advised of his eligibility for ad-
mission.
If eligible, he will receive full instructions on the
procedure
to be
followed to complete his registration. In outline, the procedure
is as follows:
a)
The registrant receives a schedule showing the courses and times
offered. He completes a course selection form listing the courses
in which he wishes to register for the semester, being careful to
avoid timetable conflicts.
b)
The registrant receives a number of medical forms. He must com-
plete
the personal record portion of the form and then arrange for
a medical examination by a physician, the full cost of which is
borne by the registrant. The examining physiéian, after5
completing the confidential portion of the form, returns it to the
Registrar in the envelope supplied.
2. In-course students
A student currently registered at the University will be asked to select
courses for the next semester some time during the last few weeks of the
current semester. Complete details of the course selection procedure
will be supplied to the student at the appropriate time.
Some students who complete a course selection form during the current
semester may be required to change their selection as a result of the
standing obtained in the semester examinations. These changes may be
made on registration day of the next semester the student attends.
Students who propose to enter the Professional Development Program for
teachers, should submit an application to the Faculty of Education at
least 60 days before the first day of lectures of the semester applied
for.
3. Changes in Programs
Once a student has registered he may not change his program, add courses,
or drcpa course, without permission of the Registrar. Such changes must
be recorded on the official change notices obtainable in the Office of
the Registrar. No substitution of courses in programs will be permitted
after the first five days of lectures. Permission to drop courses
normally will be granted up to the end of the ninth week of lectures.
.
A student will be expected to write the examinations in all courses for
which he is registered on the date shown in the Academic Calendar for the
semester as the last date to drop courses. It is the student's responsi-
