Academic Advising

You will need to email a request to the undergraduate advisor relating to this form and forward the undergraduate advisor's email response to servicelaurierwaterloo@wlu.ca. If the course is offered through the University of Waterloo, you will have to complete a uWaterloo cross-registration form (no letter of permission request form is required). You'll need the undergraduate advisor's signature and the signature of the uWaterloo instructor on this form. It is relatively easy to get permission to take an elective course elsewhere but you must have a good reason to take a required course elsewhere. For more information, see Taking Courses at Another University.

There are a number of common error messages that you may encounter when registering for courses on LORIS. A list of the most frequent problems and suggestions for how to fix them can be found in the LORIS Glossary.

LORIS will allow you to register for CH110 without having completed the high school 12U prerequisite (or equivalent), but you are advised against doing this unless:

• You have taken 11U Chemistry with a grade of at least 75%; or
• You have taken a university preparatory course in Chemistry. There is an online one available through the Centre for Extended Learning at the University of Waterloo.

You should always consult with an undergraduate advisor before making a decision to change programs. You may change your program by linking to your LORIS account, typically between March 1 and April 30th. Your program change will be reviewed by Enrolment Services and a decision recorded at the end of the winter term. Outside these times, you may change programs by completing a program selection form.

You should discuss your situation with an undergraduate advisor before making this decision. A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from full-time studies must obtain a Notice of Withdrawal form from Enrolment Services. The form must be signed by both the dean of the faculty/school and the registrar. The student identification card must be submitted with the form. Students who leave the university without completing the Notice of Withdrawal will have each of the applicable courses recorded as a failure and will not be eligible for any refund of fees. For more information, see Withdrawing.
