Faculty Regulations

122.2 Registration and Changes of Registration

    Deadlines are strictly observed. See §12. For further information, see §22.1.

(1)

Student Responsibility: Students are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of their registration and for ensuring their programs are in accordance with degree specifications. Read the Calendar carefully, and if you are in doubt about the regulations pertaining to your program, please consult the Faculty office.

(2)

Failure to “drop” a course: Students who do not formally withdraw from a course but who are absent from the final examination without excuse (see §23.5.3) are given a mark of zero (0) on the final examination. The final grade in the course is then determined by combining the appropriately weighted term grade and the assigned zero in the final examination, the mathematical result rounded to the closest whole number. Students who register in a course but do not attend and do not formally withdraw receive a grade of F.

    Also refer to §§23.5.3 and 122.6.

(3)

Course Load Requirement: Normally, students in the Faculty of Native Studies take a full course load, i.e., *30, during the Fall/Winter. In exceptional circumstances, and following completion of the first *30, acceleration to the maximum of *36 per Fall/Winter may be permitted. In the BA in Native Studies program, students are permitted to take less than a full course load.

(4)

Letter of Permission: Following initial admission, students are expected to complete all remaining program requirements at the University of Alberta. For academically justifiable reasons such as planned participation in an Exchange or language Bursary program, or to partake in an international or cultural experience, it is possible to receive a Letter of Permission to take courses at another institution. To apply for a Letter of Permission students must:

a.

Be eligible to register in a degree program in the Faculty of Native Studies; and

b.

Have successfully completed a minimum of *24 at the University of Alberta; and

c.

Present “Satisfactory” academic standing (i.e., a FGPA of 2.0 or greater).

    Approval will not be granted for requests where the student has already received the maximum allowable transfer courses (*60). The Faculty is not obligated to grant transfer credit unless a Letter of Permission was obtained in advance of studying elsewhere. Qualified students should contact the Academic Advisor at nsadvisor@ualberta.ca, to apply for a Letter of Permission. Students who wish to apply for Exchange programs must obtain the appropriate forms from the appropriate office (usually the Education Abroad Program).
