COURSES
A good guide to look at for enrolment problems, course overrides and FAQ's is here:

Need a Course Override? If you can't get into a course on your own due to a full class, reserves/requirements not being met, consent being required, and/or a time conflict; you may need a course override. There are two ways of completing this in science;; you may choose which one is more convenient:
-
Option 1: Fill out a Course Override Form and get the necessary permissions prior to submitting the form to The Centre (NH, 1st floor) or email to rorec1@uwaterloo.ca
-
Option 2: Obtain proof of instructor/department approval, clear indication of what is being approved (ie. time conflict), include your Student ID# and full name, and forward it to science.advisor@uwaterloo.ca for processing and enrolment
-
-
Want to Take Courses at Another Institution? There are specific rules for this available under the FAQ section on the Registrar's Drop/Add page. You can cross-register for classes at Wilfrid Laurier University and complete a Cross-Registration Form, or a Letter of Permission Application for other institutions. These are approved on a case-by-case basis and you'll have to speak to your academic advisor about this.
