Undergraduate student requests and forms

The most common student requests can now be submitted directly through your Student Centre. Other requests should be submitted with the forms detailed below. Please note that only FOFA students’ requests may be made via the Student Centre at this time. This function will be implemented across all faculties in 2023.

The following requests can now be made directly in your Student Centre:

Course substitution
Late withdraw/DISC
Late registration
Course overload
Course Repeat

Requests for late withdraw/DISC must include a clear and detailed written explanation of the unforeseen events or circumstances which prevented you from dropping the course(s) by the deadline. Once your request has been approved for late withdraw/DISC, your courses will be discontinued and we will notify you in writing. If you are asking for a refund (financial credit) of fees for this course, you must indicate it on the form and upload relevant documentation such as:

Student Request Medical Certificate (English / français) duly completed, signed and stamped by a licensed medical practitioner (the MD’s license number must be clearly noted on the form)
hospital record(s)
death certificate
accident/police report
travel tickets
a written statement from the instructor of the course(s) confirming when you stopped attending class and that you did not complete course work or exams after that date

How to submit a request form:

Log in to your Student Centre.
In the left-hand menu, select Undergraduate Student Request Forms.
Select the appropriate request form.
Select the course for which you’re making the request.
Enter all required information and provide a reason for your request.
You will receive an email confirming that your form has been submitted.

Write a rationale explaining why you wish to be accepted for the double major program and explain how the two programs interrelate and/or intersect and attach it to your completed form
If you are currently registered in a fine arts program or a program outside the Faculty of Fine Arts and are requesting to add a program in the Faculty of Fine Arts, you must submit the form and rationale to the Department housing the program you wish to add prior to March 1st. In addition, you must fulfill any additional admission requirements (eg. portfolio or audition) stipulated by that program by their published deadline dates. After assessment of your portfolio or audition, your form will be automatically forwarded to Student Academic Services with their recommendation
If you are currently registered in a fine arts program and are requesting to add a program OUTSIDE of the Faculty of Fine Arts, you must submit the form and rationale to that program to obtain their recommendation. Recommendations must come from either the Chair or a designated Undergraduate Advisor of that department. That Department should return the form and rationale to you and you must then submit it to Student Academic Services (EV 2.705)
You will be informed of a final decision in writing. Please note that having recommendations for approval by both programs does not automatically guarantee final approval. Final decisions also require the appropriate Faculty level approval
