Academic Advising

The faculties of Arts and Science are committed to providing the best possible information and guidance to students for their academic programs.

We strongly encourage students enrolling in Year 1 of any program to take advantage of individual advising and information sessions held each year from May through July through Laurier 101.

If you would like to request an appointment regarding registration, please fill out the Faculty of Science Registration Inquiry Form.

Course Overload Requests

It is never advised to take an overload of courses. A full course load is 2.5 credits (5 courses) and if you feel that you absolutely must take six courses in a term then you should talk to your academic advisor to explore options. You always have options.

Students enrolling in courses that are additional to the normal program load are reminded that they are fully responsible for doing so and are cautioned against possible academic difficulties.
