DEREGISTRATION
The university may deregister you from your course(s) for the following reasons:
- Not having the proper prerequisites as noted in the Course Calendar.
- Not providing required documentation.
WITHDRAWALS /CHANGES
If you change your mind about the course you have registered for and you want to drop it or switch into another course, check the Registration Deadlines for adding courses, and Course Withdrawals / Refunds (under 2010 Summer Fees) for dropping courses. The registration system will only be operational for withdrawals and course changes within specified time limits for each duration.
OVERRIDES
Students may request an override when they do not meet the registration requirement of the course (for example, "must be a photography student" or "have 9.0 completed credits”). They may also request an override to gain access to a course that is part of their minor program, or if the course is full. The Associate Dean of the Faculty offering the course will decide whether or not to grant the override into a course that has reached its maximum enrollment.
Note: Late registration fees may apply.
An override is not registration. Once the Faculty office has entered the override on the computer the student must register via the web following normal registration procedures. Overrides do not prevent deregistration.
Overrides are issued by the Faculty office offering the course. Students who require an override to register should contact the appropriate Faculty office during regular office hours at least three business days before registration closes.
Overrides Are Not Necessary When:
The course has no restrictions, or the student meets the restriction and the course is not full.
STUDENT ID CARD
New students or students who do not have a current Ontario College of Art & Design student identification card may obtain a valid card from the Facilities & Planning Office, 115 McCaul Street, Level 1. Proof of fee payment is required.
STUDIO ACCESS
All students currently registered at the university have access to the building and designated studios during regular university hours. Access to specialized studios and workshops will be available only at scheduled times.
