13-credit automatic exemption correction

After the publication of the Record in February, there was an update to the information on when automatic 13-credit exemptions will be placed for students requiring fewer than 26 credits (based on APAS data). These exemptions will be placed for both fall and spring semesters approximately three weeks before queued registration starts for those terms (shortly after term activation). This means that fall 2020 exemptions were placed the week of March 16. The fact sheet was updated with these details.

13-credit automatic exemption update

Starting with fall 2020 registration, students with fewer than 26 credits to graduate, which, based on APAS data, will be automatically exempt from the 13-credit registration requirement. Exemptions will be placed for the following term during the seventh week of both spring and fall (with an additional run in summer after census). For example, fall 2020 exemptions will be placed the first week of March.

The online request form is also being updated. It will only be available for one term at a time, and students with an exemption in place will not be able to access it (they will see a message stating they are already exempt). The PDF printable form will continue to be available for situations that cannot be handled with the online request form.

A fact sheet is available with full details.
