Do you want to make changes to your Program or Plan?

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you have to adjust. If you wish to request a change to your Program/Plan you must submit a request using the Change of Plan application form . Change of Plan runs from May 13th-24th. If your request is approved, your Program/Plan will be changed and can be viewed by clicking on the "My Academics" tab in the SOLUS Student Centre. Departments will review lists and make decisions during the last week of May.

Academic Progression

The Faculty Office will be conducting its annual assessment of student progress this week and we will be reviewing GPAs. If you have been placed on or released from academic probation, continuing on academic probation or if you have been required to withdraw for one or three years, rulings will be official on May 21 and you will receive a notification letter via SOLUS.

We encourage you to book an appointment to speak with an academic advisor after you have received your letter (613-533-2470).
