Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Calendar 2009-2010 Faculty of Social Sciences 3. Faculty Regulations 3.3 Course Load
3.3 Course Load

The equivalent of five full courses in the Fall/Winter Terms represents a normal full load. Students with a GPA of at least 3.20 over their last five full-course equivalents will normally be permitted to register in one additional course. All other students may carry additional courses only with the special permission of the Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

Note: Extra courses represent substantial burdens and may damage overall performance. Opportunities for accelerated progress also exist through credit courses in the Spring and Summer Terms as well as credits obtained "by Special Assessment."

Withdrawal from Courses

Students will not be permitted to withdraw more than once from a particular course. Students will be required to withdraw if they have accumulated a total of more than five full-course equivalent withdrawals while in attendance at the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ.

Subject to the regulations specified above, students may withdraw from courses by using PeopleSoft Student Center via . In any full or half course, the withdrawal must be processed prior to the deadline specified in the Academic Schedule in this Calendar. The letter "W" will be recorded on the transcript in lieu of a grade. Before deciding to withdraw from a course, students are encouraged to seek advice on the implications of this action with their course instructor or from the Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

Students wishing to withdraw completely from the University should refer to the Academic Regulations section at the front of this Calendar (see B.14).

Repetition of Courses

Students may repeat a course previously failed or one in which a higher grade is sought, including withdrawals. Normally, however, any one course may be repeated only once.

See the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar for the University regulations (see Repeating Courses and Repeating High Demand Courses).
