a.Academic Timetable Conflicts
Students may not register in classes that overlap or create time conflicts. To avoid delays at registration, students should consult the current term Academic Timetable and register in courses as soon as possible.
During early registration, the maximum number of credit hours in which a student may register is 16.5 (five and one half course equivalents). Beginning on the first day of classes, students may increase their loads to the maximum allowed by their respective Faculty or School. Most courses carry a credit load of 3.0 credit hours; some courses carry more and some carry fewer credit hours.
Students wishing to register in more than the maximum credit hours (term course equivalents) allowed must obtain approval of the Faculty or School in which they are enrolled.

A student may not maintain registration in more than one section of a course offering in a term or session.
Admission to the University does not constitute a guarantee that a student will be able to register in any specific course in a given term. Enrolment limits are enforced by the Faculties and Schools.
The University may place holds on a student’s registration privileges due to outstanding fees, academic or non-academic offences, failure to complete Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention training, etc. Students should consult an academic advisor if they have questions about their registration hold. Also, students with questions regarding the Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention training should contact sexualviolenceinfo@uleth.ca.
Registration in some course sections may be restricted to students based on admitted degree, major, campus, year of study, etc. Students unable to register for courses required in their program should consult an academic advisor.
g.Prerequisites and Corequisites
Course prerequisites and corequisites must be met where applicable. Faculties and Schools are responsible for ensuring course prerequisites and corequisites have been met.
Students may possess some educational experience that provides much of the background usually acquired in a prerequisite or corequisite to a particular course. In such cases, the student may seek the permission of the Faculty or School to waive the prerequisite(s) and/or corequisite(s) for that course.
Application for a prerequisite/corequisite waiver must be made through the department offering the course. If written permission is granted, a student may register in a course without having completed the prerequisite(s) and/or corequisite(s). Students do not receive credit for the waived prerequisite(s) or corequisite(s).
If a prerequisite or corequisite course is specifically required in a program or major, the student must register in and successfully complete it unless a substitution has been approved by the Dean.
