Intent to Register is the process of specifying the MODULE(S) IN A SPECIFIC DEGREE in which you wish to register for next academic year Submitting an ITR will allow a student access to web registration during the summer months to register for Fall/Winter courses - The online form becomes available in eary February through the Student Services website - The following students will need to complete their Intent to Register using a paper form: - Scholar's Electives students will receive information about Intent to Register from their Academic Advisor You will be registered in an alternative program in May (often BA Undeclared for students registering for second year). You will need to include/repeat courses in the future that will make you eligible for the module/degree you wish to pursue. You may need to contact a departmental counsellor to discuss your course selection after adjudication in May and before web registration. Your academic record will be reviewed (adjudicated) in May. Your eligibility for the requested module/degree will be based on courses completed in 2011-2012 and on the assumption that you’ll successfully complete the courses you are taking during the summer. You will be adjudicated again, after completion of the summer courses, to determine if you are eligible for your requested module/degree. The official version of the Academic Calendar is found on the web at www.westerncalendar.uwo.ca/ Registration occurs online in March (see Important Dates and details in the Summer Academic Calendar). You will have to do summer activation and change your user preferences at least 3 days prior to online registration. You may request a Letter of Permission through our Academic Counselling Office. Bring the course information (title, course number and description) to an Academic Counsellor during drop-in counselling hours. Find out the other University’s deadline and application procedure. Do this as early as possible, as the process can take up to 2 weeks. Progression requirements are found in the Academic Calendar. If you meet your progression requirements, you must achieve the minimum mark(s) in prerequisite courses to enter the module/degree requested on your Intent to Register. You will find out if you are accepted into your module/degree when you access your grade report online in May. Your grade report which includes final marks and report comments, will be accessible on the web through the Student Services website, after you have been adjudicated. Pay close attention to your grade report comments and follow the instructions, if any are given. See the Academic Calendar. You may appeal this decision by submitting a written request (form is available on the Academic Counselling website) for a Waiver of Progression Requirements to the Dean of Science. See the Academic Calendar. There is a deadline (noted in the academic calendar) for appealing marks and/or requesting academic relief; we also often post appeals deadlines on our Important Dates listing. A Course Repeat is any course previously attempted and recorded at UWO. A course attempt having a passing grade may be repeated only once. A course attempt having a failing grade may be repeated only twice. Further course repeats may be authorized only by the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is registered. Grades (including failures) for all course attempts will appear on the transcript and will be included in the accumulation of course attempts and maximum failures allowed. All but the most recent course attempt will appear on the transcript as Repeated, No credit and will be excluded from cumulative average calculations used for progression requirements. During the ITR period, a student may go online and make changes to his/her original selection(s) at any time. Once the ITR period is over, you will need to contact the Academic Counselling Office to see if the changes can be made. You must provide written authorization (fax, letter, in person) that you wish to cancel your proposed registration. This needs to be done by the middle of August. The Change of Status form can be found on the Academic Counselling website. The summer months are extremely busy months for the Academic Counsellors in the Dean’s Office. You should be in touch with your Departmental Counsellors before you leave at the end of term if you have any other questions about your modules/degrees. Before contacting our office, view our Office Hours page for current information about hours and booking appointments.
