Missed Tests and Assignments

Please review the course syllabus (available on Quercus and/or Timetable Builder). Please also visit the Special Consideration page for further information.

Prerequisites

Do not email the instructor of the course or the Department Chair.

The department sets the prerequisite requirements to ensure that the students enrolled possess the necessary background knowledge essential for the course. If students do not have the prerequisites for a course, they must submit a Prerequisite Waiver Request Form prior to the first week of classes, explaining how their prior academic experience has prepared them to take the course in the absence of the listed prerequisites.

Blocked Enrolment

Enrolment may be blocked due to enrolment controls (check the "Enrolment Controls" for the course on Timetable Builder). For example, priority may be given to students who require the course (e.g., LIN228H5F) to fulfill program requirements; non-program students can enroll in the course at a later date.

Departmental Approval

Department approval is required.

Students enrolling in a UTM language course for the first time must complete a language assessment questionnaire in order to determine the appropriate language-level course.
