Students with the admission category of Non-Degree Student Status will be assigned the last available registration slot.

Academic units may reserve spaces in course sections for students in a particular degree, major, minor, or the like.

For further information on registration priority consult the Undergraduate Registration Procedures.

 

6.5.4 Registration for Students Not Admitted to a Degree Program
Students who have earned at least 60 credit hours, whether by the successful completion of Memorial University of Newfoundland courses or via transfer credit, and who have not been admitted to a degree program, including Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science students who have not yet declared a major, will not normally be permitted to register for courses until they have consulted with a designated academic advisor to develop an appropriate plan and timeline for seeking admission to a degree program. Designated advisors can be found through the Academic Advising Centre or Grenfell Campus Academic Advising. Further information on academic advising for students who are still exploring can be found on the Office of the Registrar web page on Academic Advice.

Students who have not been admitted to a degree program will be subject to the same restriction described in the Clause above, after earning 90 credit hours, 120 credit hours, and so on.

The Clauses above do not apply to students who:

are attending Memorial University of Newfoundland solely for the purpose of completing a diploma or certificate,

have already completed an undergraduate degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland or another recognized university or college, or

have self-identified as not pursuing a Memorial University of Newfoundland degree.

Appeals of this Regulation will be considered by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies.

 

6.5.5 Adding Courses
 

6.5.5.1 General Information
Specific deadlines for adding courses in any semester or session are stated in the University Diary. In the case of sessions, accelerated courses, and courses offered outside the normal time frame of a semester or session, deadlines for adding courses will be prorated accordingly.

No course will be considered to have been added until the Registrar has received official notification and certified the add.

Attending classes or informing an instructor of the intent to add a course does not constitute an official adding of a course.

Only under special circumstances may a course(s) be added after the end of the registration period. For information contact the Office of the Registrar.

Before the end of the registration period a student may, upon formal notification to the Registrar, change the course(s) for which the student was originally registered by adding and/or dropping a course(s).

 

6.5.6 Course Weight/Course Load
Course load is the sum of course weights. In a session the course load is double. For the purposes of determining course load, each course is weighted with the credit hour value associated with that course, unless otherwise specified as follows:
The course weight of each of the A and B components of a linked course shall be equivalent to one half of the credit hour value of the B component.

The course weight of courses with C or F as the last character shall be three.

The course weight of courses with W as the last character will vary according to individual program requirements.
