Information Security and Privacy: Current Students
Structure
If you are enrolled in our 3-credential laddered track program, be sure you are familiar with the structure of the program and the requirements of each credential.

Important Deadlines
As our Graduate Professional Program’s courses are taught according to a non-standard schedule , they have different drop, add and withdrawal deadlines. Please refer to the Student Centre for deadlines specific to courses with a non-standard schedule.
Please ensure you are familiar with the drop deadlines for your classes. For non-standard courses, the add/swap deadlines are the same as the drop deadlines.
When a class is dropped before its drop deadline, the course will not appear on your academic transcript and charges for the course will not be applied.
When a class is removed after its drop deadline but before its withdrawal deadline, a ‘W’ will be placed on your academic transcript and charges will still apply.
Deadlines are found on the Home Page of your Student Centre as part of the Enrolled Courses table.
