Academic Advising
Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between a student and an academic advisor. Academic advising is available to all Faculty of Science students. Regular contact with an academic advisor, individuals who can assist you with developing and achieving meaningful educational and career goals, is recommended.
For general information about registration, prerequisites, changing programs, changing student status (i.e. part-time vs. full-time), or taking a course at another university, see/contact Enrolment Services or Academic Advising. For information specific to the Faculty of Science, see Science Academic Advising. If you have questions relating to Mathematics, contact:
- Undergraduate Advising: mathadvising@wlu.ca. All inquiries should be submitted by email only.
- Graduate Academic Advising: mathgradprogram@wlu.ca
If you would like to take more than 2.5 credits in one term, you will have to fill out the Mathematics Course Overload Request Form.
