Prerequisite Waiver Requests

If a student would like to register for a course but does not have the required prerequisites, they can add the course to their Preferred Sections using the Search and Register function in myTrent.  They will then go to Academics > Forms and fill out the Prerequisite Waiver Request form. 

Confirmation of the request will be emailed to their Trent student email account.  The department offering the course will review the request and either approve, deny, or request further information or documentation. The student will be notified again by email when a prerequisite waiver request has been approved or denied.

If a request is approved, the student will be instructed to register in the course.  Please note that the approval does not guarantee a spot in the course, and cannot be used to register in courses that are full or in conflict.
