There are several requests that can be processed by the Undergraduate Office in the Department of Mathematics. Requests must be made as far in advance as possible and preferably before the start date of the courses. Forms submitted after the course start may not receive full consideration. Under normal circumstances, the department cannot process any requests made after the last date of registration for any given semester. Please check the sessional dates as indicated by the Arts & Science Calendar. Information is provided below on four of our more common requests that our undergraduate students have:
If you do not have a prerequisite to take a particular APM or MAT course in the Department of Mathematics, you can request for the prerequisites to be waived. All requests must be reasonable and there are no guarantees that your request will be approved. You will be removed from courses if you do not have the appropriate prerequisites or approval to waive courses. The Department of Mathematics cannot approve waivers if a course is required for other programs not affiliated with our department.
