Prerequisite waiver- Prerequisites are not generally waived, and some instructors have a policy of never waiving prerequisites. However, some students may believe they have taken a course, or a combination of courses, that provides a background matching the listed prerequisites. In addition, some courses have a prerequisite statement that says, "Or permission of the department." Students requesting to have a pre- or corequisite waived for a particular course must fill out this form and submit it to econreg@uvic.ca.

The university regulation on repeating courses is:
“A student may not attempt a course a third time without the prior approval of the Dean of the faculty and the Chair of the department in which the course is offered unless the calendar course entry states that the course may be repeated for additional credit. A student who has not received this approval may be deregistered from the course at any point and may be asked to withdraw from his or her declared or intended program.”
In order to obtain permission to take a required course for the third (and final) time, you must complete this form and submit it to econdept@uvic.ca.
