Common registration problems:

• Are you actually eligible to register? Check your eligibility on Minerva: Student Menu/Registration Menu/ Step 1: Check Your Registration Eligibility and Verify Your Curriculum
• Error messages given by Minerva
  • Faculty or Program Restriction: This occurs because, of the spots available in the course, none are currently open to students from your program. If you are trying to register for an elective and get this message, unfortunately I cannot help you. Certain U1 courses have lab sections restricted by program. To see which lab sections are open to you, look at the detailed class schedule on Minerva. The second line of each lab section lists programs that can take it (if sections are indeed program-specific for this course). Register for a lab section that is open to you.
  • Pre-requisite or test score error:
    • If you DO have the pre-requisite, contact me directly
    • If you want to take a course at the same time as the pre-requisite, or if you feel that you should be allowed to take the course without the pre-requisite, contact the instructor of the course, since only they can approve such a request
  • Instructor鈥檚 or Department Approval: request approval from the instructor of the course

Some notes:

鈥� We are usually able to accommodate students to take required courses as recommended. Authorizations and planning may take time, but the issue will get resolved and you should be able to take all courses you need to take (e.g., required courses), when you need to take them. Of course you may not be able to get into that lab section that gives you Friday afternoons off, but you will be able to take some conflict-free lab section! And we cannot help you get into elective courses, for example. But as a general rule, be patient!

鈥� note that registration opens for given students on given dates, and that there is a date by which you must have registered for at least one course, to avoid late registration fees. But note also that you are free to make any change you like to your courses for a semester, at any time and as often as you want, until the Add/Drop deadline which is about 10 days into the given term. I will send all my students an email at the start of each term, indicating all of these deadlines.

A common reason why Minerva states there is a scheduling conflict, where there is not, is because there is a day in the term that runs on the schedule of a different weekday. This ensures no course loses lecture time due to statutory holidays. There are two ways you can determine whether this explains your issue. The first is to go to the page that lists important academic dates. In the term in question look for an asterisk and a footnote indicating that x date will run on the schedule of a different day. So for example, if you have a course that is usually scheduled to run MW but in that term there is a M that will run as a F, Minerva will indicate a conflict if the course in question conflicts with your other courses usually scheduled on F. The other way to tell is to closely look at the schedule details for any given course, in Minerva. Pay attention to the date ranges in the third to last column. In the example above, there would be one row with the MW times for dates ranging over the entire term, and one row with the F听times for the single day that runs on a different schedule.听

Indeed, program requirements change over time. It is important to understand that you are in the version of the program that was in effect when you started the program in question (Major or Specialization), unless you explicitly switched into a newer version of the program component. To see in what academic year you started each of your program components (Major and Specialization(s)), check your unofficial transcript on Minerva. And then find and bookmark your program requirements on the eCalendar, making sure you use the version corresponding to the school year in which you started each of your program components. For example, you might be in the 2017-2018 version of your Major, and in the 2018-2019 version of your Specialization. If you need help identifying your program requirements, let me know.

I am not trained as a psychologist or counselor. However, I take your well-being and success seriously. I am happy to listen, refer you to resources, discuss the academic impacts of your situation and work with you on an "academic plan of action". My office is a safe space where you can expect to be treated with empathy and respect whatever you say, and where your confidentiality will be respected. Do you have or think you might have a mental health issue, including anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss, eating disorders, etc? Check out 成人VR视频's Wellness Hub for help on understanding your mental health issue, information on crisis support, peer support, workshops, and professional resources on campus. Consider meeting up with Ms. Shannon Walsh, our Wellness Advisor right here at Mac.听

a) You cannot meet deadlines within the regular term, like write quizzes, hand in assignments, take mid-term exams, etc:

If you are facing a mental or physical health issue, I am happy to discuss these with you, help you plan an academic strategy and help you find resources who can help, to the best of my ability. Indeed, you will need to seek professional help and get a note from a health care professional, on- or off-campus. One resource which is available to you on campus is Student Services in CC1-124 (end of the hallway past the bathrooms). Then, bring your medical note to the Student Affairs Office (SAO) in 106 Laird Hall. They will take your medical note, and ask you to fill out a short form detailing the academic accommodations you need. The SAO will then decide whether accommodations should be granted, and if so they will contact your instructors directly to notify them. No information will be given to your instructors regarding the reason why you need an accommodation.

You are facing a different kind of issue, for example your boss asked you to come in to work or you decided to attend a trade show: you must discuss with each concerned course instructor, whether they are willing to accommodate you. Whether or not they decide to accommodate you is entirely their prerogative; they are under no obligation to do so.

b) You cannot write a final exam scheduled during the exam period at the end of the term:

If you face a serious issue such as a health issue and feel you are unfit to write a final exam, do not take the exam. If you experience a serious issue after your exam has started, such as a panic or asthma attack, or if your blood sugar becomes uncontrollable, for example, leave the exam room. If you finish a final exam and perform poorly, in most cases nothing can be done about it retroactively even if you were unwell while taking the exam. If you are unable to write a final exam, see information about exam deferrals. Bear in mind that it is difficult to do well in an exam you take months after having seen the material, and potentially after having studied for new courses. Deferred December exams are taken during the March study break, deferred April exams are taken in August.

Consult the Academic Conflicts page for more information.

In our Faculty, double Majors are an option for students who are in satisfactory academic standing and have a cGPA or 3.00 or more. In order to apply, you must meet with me and prepare a proposal showing how you will satisfy the requirements of both Majors. I have a template you can use. Bear in mind that at least 36 credits must be unique to your second Major. This means that if your two Majors have a lot of courses in common, you may need to take extra complementary courses in the second Major, to generate unique credits in that Major.

You can do a Minor, but it is your responsibility to meet all of the degree requirements. It can be challenging to complete all requirements for your program and the Minor in 3 years, since it is up to chance whether the courses for your Minor fit with those of your Major program, including commute time between campuses if needed. Minors can be declared at the end of your U1 year, by completing听this form.

You need to fill out the Program/Specialization/Minor Removal Application Form. Once filled out, send the form to me. Note that you must add a digital version of your hand signature, to the form. You cannot type your name in.

You must complete at least one Specialization, and you may do more than one. However, it might be difficult to complete all the requirements for your Major and more than one Specialization within 3 years, so be prepared for difficulties in scheduling. One thing you could do is try to take as many of your elective courses as you can schedule in the second Specialization. It will not appear on your transcript if you don鈥檛 complete all of the requirements but you will have taken many of the courses towards it. Talk to me about this if you have more questions.

If you are in satisfactory standing (i.e., your cGPA is 2.0 or above), you may take up to 18 credits per term. If you wish to do more than this, consult with me about obtaining approval from the Committee on Academic Standing.

Some courses at 成人VR视频 are graded as pass/fail by default, but this does not apply to courses that are part of your Major and Specialization. You are allowed to take a maximum of one ELECTIVE per term with the 鈥淪/U鈥� option, and a maximum of 10% of the credit used in your degree. The way this works is that if you get at least a 鈥淐鈥� in the course, the grade displayed in your transcript is 鈥淪鈥�, and there is no impact on your GPA (you just get credit). If your grade is less than 鈥淐鈥�, your transcript displays 鈥淯鈥�, you get no credit and there is no impact on your GPA. Do NOT make the mistake of selecting this option for a pre-req (including Foundation Year-level courses and FDSC 230), required course or a course you want to or might need to use as a complementary in your Major, Specialization or Minor. Minerva will NOT prevent this and courses graded as S/U can ONLY be used as electives in your program. This option is NOT reversible after the add/drop deadline.

You are considered full-time if you take at least 12 credits per term, and it does matter. You must be enrolled in 27 graded credits per academic year to be eligible for scholarships. International students who have study permits cannot register for less than 12 credits per semester, except in their very last semester. Being a part-time student may also have non-academic implications with regards to eligibility for coverage by an insurance as a dependent, loans and bursaries, Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs), eligibility for reduced public transportation fares, etc.

If you expect to graduate in May, apply for graduation in February. For a January graduation apply by November and for an August graduation apply by March. Go to the 鈥淪tudent Records Menu鈥� on Minerva and choose 鈥淎pply for Graduation for Your Primary Curriculum (1st degree)鈥�. You can apply for graduation even if you are not yet registered for courses you need, for example. Applying for graduation just puts you on a list, and in due course I will need to say whether I approve your graduation or not, and then other approvals will follow (SAO, Faculty, Senate). If you are not on the list, you will not graduate. To see whether you have applied for graduation, pull up your unofficial transcript on Minerva. If you applied to graduate, your expected date of graduation will be displayed at the top right.听

You can see any comments relating to your application to graduate in Minerva (Student Records Menu, Graduation Approval Query). Your application to graduate will say "Pending" until your transcript is updated with a line at the bottom mentioning your degree was granted. This happens by mid-February for students whose last term is Fall, a few days before the Convocation ceremony for students whose last term is Winter, and by mid-October for students whose last term is Summer. You will only be notified by email if there are any issues with your graduation. No news, good news!

You can find lots of information related to Convocation ceremonies and obtaining your diploma here. There is a Convocation ceremony at Mac in early June, which students whose last term was the preceding Fall or Winter can attend. Students whose last term is the Summer can attend the Convocation ceremony downtown in October. There is no ceremony specifically for those who graduate after the Fall term.听 听

You must order official transcripts on Minerva: Student Records Menu - Request Official Transcript. Note that 成人VR视频 sends official transcripts in either electronic or paper form.

A note about official transcripts: if you need to send an official transcript to show you have graduated, first check your unofficial transcript in Minerva. At the very bottom it will say, in bold, "B听SC听Agricu听and听Environm听Sc听Granted:听 Month YEAR", once your graduation has been fully approved. This mention appears in late May if your last term was Winter, in October if your last term was Summer, and in late February if your last term was Fall. If you have an official transcript sent out before this mention is visible on your unofficial transcript, the recipient will not have proof that your degree was granted.

The best way I know to do this is to use a computer that has Adobe software installed on it (like in the Library, or the computer lab - check or ask because all machines might not have it). Open your unofficial transcript in Minerva. Then print it from your internet browser. You should see "print" in a list of options from the top right-hand side. Select Adobe PDF as the "printer" to send the job to, and a PDF file will created which you can save and email.

Simply drop your courses, or don鈥檛 register for any. Note that you will eventually lose your access to services like uPrint, library, building access after hours, etc. When you want to come back, apply for readmission on Minerva: Student Records Menu - Faculty Transfers/Readmission Menu. If you were in good standing (i.e., cGPA of 2.0 or greater) when you left, being readmitted to the program you were in, and that I advise, should not be an issue. There is no cost associated with applying for readmission. However, plan ahead to have time for your application to be reviewed, for planning your courses and registering for them before the term starts.

听

It is relatively easy to switch to other Majors within the same type of degree (B.Sc. Ag. Env. Sc.): fill out a Program Change application which you can find here or in my office. The form requires the signature of the advisor for the Major you are switching into. To apply to transfer into a different degree type at Mac or to switch Faculties, go to Minerva - Student Records Menu - Faculty Transfers - Readmission Menu .

You will need to request to study outside 成人VR视频 through he . Before going through this process, you must have the non-成人VR视频 course evaluated by 成人VR视频. To do this, follow the instructions given under question #2. Registering for a course through the BCI ensures that the credits are transferred "automatically" once you successfully complete the course. Also, you pay tuition directly to 成人VR视频.

You can do this many ways, but keep in mind that semesters away from campus involve extra costs. You can do a full-term, 15-credit 鈥榝ield semester鈥�, such as the Panama Field Studies Semester, the Barbados Interdisciplinary Tropical Studies Semester (BITS), the Barbados Field Study Semester, the Canadian Field Studies in Africa, or the Arctic Field Studies Program. Go to the websites for these programs to look into requirements; some of the courses you take in these semesters may count towards your degree as complementary courses, but will most likely act as electives. You can also apply for an exchange program or independent study-away. Additionnaly, you can find a list of 成人VR视频 courses taught "off-campus", here.

You can do this through Honours or a Special Topics Course (see above), as well as through research or project courses:

(restricted to specific programs)

and

and

For all options you must have in place a supervisor for your project, so the first step is to develop a rapport with a potential supervisor and together you can develop a research project that interests you both.听 This takes time and planning, but can be a very rewarding experience.

An internship is pre-professional work experience that provides an opportunity to supplement academic learning by gaining practical knowledge in your field of study. You can do one - please visit the Macdonald Campus Internship office. Our Faculty offers both credited as well as non-credited internships.

Schedule a meeting with me, so we can discuss.
