noah, i think you can get a combined honours form any time (from the folders between dr. warner's door and the seminar room door) if you've done the online initial program declaration after first year. it should be the same for everyone after that, regardless of level.

Does anyone know when the forms for applying to combined honours programs (for level III) will be available from Diane?


Alessandra G.11/01/2011 10:02:47
Hey Sass, I was wondering if you could help clarify something for me.

I just dropped one of my term 2 courses today (Jan. 11th), and was wondering if I've managed to drop it before any financial penalties would be incured?

The following websites don't discuss financial penalty for term 2 classes, and I'm thinking that it's a simple thing that they forgot to add, since the term 1 classes have a "no financial penalty" deadline written down.

Website 1

Website 2

Thanks guys!
