I have transfer credit for a course or taken a prerequisite in High School, but I am getting a Prerequisite error. How can I fix this?

Sometimes the Registration System doesn't recognize the transfer credit on your account and you need an override to take the course. In this case, contact us at nursing@uregina.ca; we can verify the prerequisites and enter any required overrides so you can register in the course. If you have had this issue in the past, feel free to stop by early and we can enter them ahead of time so you can register without issue on your eligible registration date.

I just missed a lecture or a lab. What do I do?

Lecture: Let your instructor know of your absence, and the reason, and make sure you didn't miss any in-course quizzes, assignments, etc. After that, locate a fellow student and obtain a copy of the notes from that date.

Lab: Contact your lab instructor as soon as possible and see if there is an alternate date you can attend a make-up lab.

I just missed an exam or assignment deadline. What do I do?

Start by speaking with your instructor as soon as possible. If they believe you qualify for a deferral, they will direct you to your faculty office to start the paperwork process. If you think you might miss an exam, or be late on any work, it is best to contact your instructor as soon as possible to see if arrangements can be made prior to a due date instead of after it is past.

I want to take a course, but I don't have the prerequisite. Can I get permission to take it without it?

Prerequisites are important in setting students up with the necessary knowledge needed in a course. However, there are sometimes extenuating circumstances where a prerequisite override might be acceptable. To see if you will be granted a prerequisite override, you need to email your request to the Department Head of the Department offering the course. If you are granted permission to take the course without the prerequisite, please email that permission to nursing@uregina.ca.

My lab is listed on my schedule, but I haven't had my course yet. Do I still go to the lab?

Most labs start in the second week of courses, but you can always check the door of the lab for a schedule, or contact your instructor to confirm.

What kind of job can I get if I study 'x'?

The short answer is: "it depends."

The truth is that it is likely that you will change careers several times in your life, and a Bachelor's degree can open many doors for you that may not otherwise be available to you.

Unlike a technical college or trade school, University doesn't provide you with specific job training, but rather the foundational knowledge in a particular area of study, in addition to many transferable skills that will serve you well in any career you may wish to pursue. That doesn't mean that it's not a good idea to be thinking about what you'd like to do with your career prior to committing to a university, college or any other post-secondary education program.

If you don't already have an idea of what career direction you'd like to pursue, there are many tools available to you through the University of Regina Centre for Experiential and Service Learning.

See the various programs for further information regarding some potential career options.

Where do I buy my textbooks?

Textbooks are available at the University Bookstore (located in College West) 2-4 weeks before courses start.

Will courses I've taken from other institutions be counted towards my program?

Transfer Credit may be obtained towards a program in Science for work completed at another institution. This includes Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses taken at the High School level.

If you think you have courses that may qualify for transfer, ensure that you have sent an official copy of your transcript to the University of Regina Registrar's Office, and speak to your Academic Advisor. You may be requested to provide detailed course syllabi for any courses that have not previously been evaluated for equivalency.
