Students should review their program requirements and develop a plan for the year, and are encouraged to seek assistance from academic advising in planning their course schedule.
Registration
Where can I find the Fall 2022 schedule?
Where can I get assistance with registration for the 2022/2023 Academic Year?
- The Registration guide is a comprehensive site that contains many resources and information that will assist with the registration process.
- For assistance with registration, contact servicelaurier@wlu.ca
- For assistance with program requirements, meeting degree requirements and course selection, contact Academic Advising.
How will I know whether a class or required academic component is online, or in-person?
The delivery model of courses and academic course components (labs, tutorials etc.) can be identified in LORIS:
- Courses delivered on our campuses will have a building and room location listed under "Meeting Times."
- Online courses are typically marked within the Course Section with an OC.
Do online and in-person learning courses cost the same?
Where can I request to audit a course?
- This form is used for students who are requesting to audit a course at Laurier, Audit Course Form.
Where can I find the Academic Dates and Deadlines (such as add or drop deadline, exam period etc.)
How do I change my program?
- Each year in March and April LORIS opens for program confirmation. This is an opportunity where students can add or change their major or declare a minor - Changing Undergraduate Programs
- Outside of March and April, more pressing program changes can be made through completing a Program Selection Form.
- If you are interested in a competitive entry program, the Program Transfer Form will open in the new year with a May 1st deadline.
When do I find out about the program change I requested?
- If you have changed your program on LORIS between March and April, your program confirmation will be viewable mid-July. Progression decisions are viewable on LORIS under the Official Final Grades in LORIS
- If you are changing your program through program selection form, you can view your updated program on LORIS.
- If you have completed the Program Transfer Form, decisions will be communicated via your Laurier email account prior to registration for the upcoming academic year.
Convocation
Where can I get details about convocation?
Academic Records
Where can I find information about the credit option for previous terms due to Covid 19?
How do I calculate my GPA if I have CR or WD grades?
- CR and WD grades are excluded from the GPA calculation. Your official GPA is available on LORIS, but you can also use the GPA calculator to determine how your current grades will affect your cumulative GPA.
Will I be able to convert future grades to CR?
No. The CR Option is no longer available. The introduction of a maximum number of CR credits that can be converted from a letter grade addresses reputational and academic risk in terms of the quality and value of the degrees earned by students.
