King's is committed to ensuring that students can enroll in a set of courses that will allow them to graduate. This commitment depends upon the student doing all that is necessary at the optimum/appropriate times as indicated in the Calendar. Students must have enrolled in appropriate programs (changes to program after the second year may not be considered), completed appropriate prerequisites, and requested courses from a full range of the possible options that would allow them to complete their program and degree. Students must have participated in early registration and appear on the waitlist for the relevant courses. If students who have met these conditions find themselves unable to register in a required course they should contact the Registration and Student Finance Office prior to the add/drop deadline for the relevant term. The Registration and Student Finance Office will contact the relevant faculty Dean to arrange for space in the course or grant permission to take the course elsewhere.
