The Undergraduate Science Centre will process the lab exemption and notify the appropriate instructor with the student’s grade. The lab grade achieved on the previous attempt will be carried forward.

Requests for a lab waiver must be received before the communicated deadline. All eligible requests will be processed by the deadline to add or swap a course.

Please speak with an advisor in the Undergraduate Science Centre if you require further information or if you do not know your lab mark.
