Email your enrolment request to Theresa – indicate HRM 400 and your surname in the subject line. Include your full name, ID#, which HRM courses you’ve completed to date, and which course if any you want to swap if your HRM 400 request is approved.

New HRM courses!
On March 9, 2010 Senate Undergrad Council approved four new HRM courses: the three remaining courses required for the CHRP designation, and an Honours Seminar in HRM.
These courses will be offered on campus at Waterloo beginning Fall 2010 and Winter 2011. It is our intention to have HRM 303, 305, 307 approved by HRPA toward the CHRP designation before the courses are offered, and these courses can be used as electives for the HRM plans (revised HRM plans which list these new courses have been submitted but are pending approval).
Unfortunately these courses were not available for Fall pre-enrolment because they weren’t yet approved by Senate. I am hoping they will be coded on the Schedule of Classes in time for Fall enrolment appointments in June.
