Top 5 Reasons You Should See an Academic Advisor
An option is an enhanced minor that you can incorporate into your degree program. Options range from eight to 10 courses and can be added to many of your programs. For more information on each option, contact the corresponding person for more details:
If your academic challenges are serious or complicated, you can make an appointment with the Associate Dean: Student Affairs, Dr. Scott Gallimore.
To book an appointment, email cginn@wlu.ca or cmahler@wlu.ca.
Faculty of Arts students who wish to have an academic regulation waived due to extenuating circumstances or on compassionate grounds, should submit using the Petition for Exception to Academic Regulations Faculty of Arts form.
Exam deferral requests for Faculty of Arts courses should be submitted using the Faculty of Arts Final Exam Deferral Request form.
For exam deferral requests, if granted, the deferral will be scheduled for the deferral period, unless the course is needed as a prerequisite for the next semester or to qualify for graduation. If this is the case a slip day will be arranged. A deferral fee may be charged to your student account for each deferral.
The Faculty of Arts Petitions and Regulations Committee will consider and decide all petitions within six weeks of the filing of the petitions, provided all the proper documentation and information is given. The Petitions Committee will not consider any petition until all documentation has been submitted. The Petitions Committee reserves the right to not consider petitions that are submitted without appropriate supporting documentation.
For more information on the petition and appeals process, please visit Academic and Petition Appeals.
