Student Forms
CHEMISTRY LAB EXEMPTION (XMT) REQUEST
A lab exemption (XMT) may be granted for students who have previously taken a chemistry course within the last two years and passed the lab portion of the course with a mark of 50% or higher. If a student is repeating a chemistry course and qualifies for the XMT waiver, the previous lab grade, which accounts for 20% of the total chemistry mark, will be used again.
To complete your registration for a course in Workday, students must enroll in both the lab and lecture components. If you’re considering submitting an XMT waiver request, remember to select a lab during registration. Once registered, kindly submit your XMT waiver request. You’ll receive an email notification upon approval, at which point we’ll transition you to the XMT section.
The deadline for submission is one week prior to the current term add/drop date. View dates on the Academic Calendar.
PREREQUISITE / COREQUISITE WAIVER REQUEST
Prerequisite and corequisite waivers allow students to enroll in a course for which they do not have the necessary course requirements. In order to qualify for a waiver, the onus is on the student to demonstrate evidence of prior course knowledge of the prerequisite/corequisite.
Applications are valid only for the term granted and are not transferable to another course with similar requirements. Please note that satisfying eligibility criteria does not guarantee approval.
