Intent to Register

You will find useful information in the ITR Planning Guide available on the website for the Office of the Registrar.

The BHSc degree will continue to be limited enrollment for September 2013 in the upper years.

Priority will be given to students who are currently enrolled in a BHSc degree and who are progressing into next year. Students who are not currently enrolled in a BHSc degree may be able to transfer (space permitting) if you've completed HS 1001a/b and 1002a/b and Biol. 1201a and 1202b (or 1001a and 1001b) by April 30, 2013 and have at least 60% in each half course and at least a 65% cumulative average. (For upper year students who have completed the admission requirements, the same criteria will apply.)
Students who complete Health Sciences 1001a and/or 1002a during the summer 2013 will not be eligible to apply for one of the Health Sciences modules until the following year (Sept. 2014)

Below, we have answered a few of the more commonly asked questions here about the intent to register and program counselling period. If you have other questions, you may contact the School of Health Studies Office at 519-661-4119 for assistance. You may make an appointment with an Academic Counsellor if needed.

You should also review the FAQ for "Summer Web Registration" and "Course Selection".

What modules are offered in Health Sciences?

See our complete list of modules under "Programs/Modules".

How will I know if I am eligible for the program I select during Intent to Register?

Log on to the Student Centre and select "My Present". Review your report comments and check your program at this site.

What if I don't have the prerequisites for my Health Sciences module? Can I do an intent to register for that program?

Students who do not have the prerequisites completed wil not be eligible for any of the Health Science modules

Can I add a module from an affiliated university college?

Yes, you may, provided the module is not offered on the main campus. You may add majors or minors depending on your interests. You may be limited to a certain number of courses you may take an affiliate university college (Brescia, Huron, King's) so you should consult an Academic Counsellor as you progress from year to year.

Do I need to make a second (or backup) choice?

The Bachelor of Health Sciences may be listed as either a FIRST OR SECOND CHOICE but not both. We review for all possible options in Health Science before moving to the second choice so if you have elected a Health Science Specialization as a first choice, do not indicate Health Science as a second choice. Remember that Health Sciences is a limited enrolment program and, as a second choice, students may not be successful in meeting the academic cutoff for admission. Cutoffs are determined by the calibre of the applicant pool.

Graduated?

Special students are students who have graduated and may wish to return for further courses. Refer to the Special Students section of the Academic Calendar for complete details - http://www.westerncalendar.uwo.ca/2012/pg67.htm

Things to Remember

Without doing an intent to register, the University will assume you do not wish to return to campus each fall (and you will not be set up to register for clases in the summer)
Please read the Academic Calendar carefully and seek advice when necessary.
Remember that it is your responsibility to choose courses that will fulfill your graduation requirements.
