Student request forms

Student Request forms are submitted when students wish to deal with exceptions to academic regulations or related matters, such as:

• Course registration or withdrawal after the deadline
• Course substitutions
• Exemptions to residency requirements
• Permission to take courses at other universities

Completed forms must be submitted to your department and include:

• Reason for your request
• Current copy of your student record
• Department Advisor's signature
• Supporting documentation validating request (e.g. medical documentation)

Generally, individual Academic Counsellors respond to student requests. Those needing further consideration will be forwarded to the Student Request Committee. The Student Request Committee is comprised of:

• Three faculty members appointed by Faculty Council
• A student recommended by the Arts and Science Students Faculty Association (AFSA) and approved by Faculty Council
• Associate Dean of Student Academic Services (Chair)
• Academic Counsellors (non-voting)

This committee generally meets every two weeks. Students are normally informed of the committee's decision by mail.
