Check the online timetable to see whether a course is full or restricted to a specific group of students.
Options for retaking a course include:
You can take the course again next year.
You can take the course at Western during the
summer if it is offered. The 2013 Summer
Calendar will be available by the end of January. Course registration begins in early
March. Check this page towards the end
of January.
You can take an equivalent course on a letter of
permission at another university. See
the Transfer
Credit Matrix for examples of first-year courses taught at other Ontario
universities which have been assessed as equivalent to Western’s courses. For more information about how a letter of
permission works, follow this link.
