Request for Biology Course Enrollment Exceptions for Fall 2025 and Winter 2026

Most enrollment priorities will be lifted for Biology courses starting at 6am on July 23, 2025; however, some courses will remain restricted to students in certain programs. Students who do not meet the enrollment priorities listed on the Timetable planner can request to enroll in Biology courses as long as 1) there is space in the course; and 2) the students have the pre-requisites for the course. These requests will be accepted from July 23, 2025, at 6am until August 8, 2025, at 11:59pm.  Requests will be reviewed starting on August 11 and students will be contacted regarding the department's decision.  If students are requesting an exception for more than one Biology course, they will need to complete the form for each request.

Access the form here (available starting at 6am on July 23, 2025). 

Questions related to degree requirements should be directed to the Office of the Registrar through AskRegistrar.
