Course prerequisite waivers
Course prerequisites are designed to ensure that all students registered in a course have the appropriate preparation to succeed. As a consequence, pre-requistes are rarely waived. If you believe that you have taken a course, or combination of courses, which provides you with a background that matches that provided by the listed prerequisites, you may request a pre-requisite waiver.
To do so, please complete the relevant sections of the fillable PDF form below, and send it by email to phast_advising (cc'd to phastao@uvic.ca). Use "Prerequisite waiver request" as the email subject line, and please include a written summary of your request.
