Once Class Begin

There are two TRU policies students need to be aware of:

- Student Attendence
- Student Waitlists

1.  Attendance at the Start of a Semester - Student Attendance
(ED3-1) http://www.tru.ca/policy/allpolicy.html

A registered student is expected to attend the first class for each course in which he or she is registered.  A registered student who does not attend the first two days of class and who has not made prior arrangements acceptable to the instructor may, at the discretion of the instructor, be considered to have withdrawn from the course and his/her course registration may be deleted and seat reassigned to another student.

2.  Waitlist (ED3-7) http://www.tru.ca/policy/allpolicy.html

TRU recognizes that although a course or program may have reached its registration capactiy prior to the start of the course or program, some students are unable to attend at the last moment and vacancies occur at the start of the course or program.  Students who are on the waitlist must be signed in by an instructor once classes begin   Course Change Form.

Regulations:

i.  Waitlist  During the registration period, once the enrolment capacity for a course has been reached, the student still wishing to register may place themselves on a waitlist for that course.
ii.  Waitlisted Students  A waitlisted student is expected to attend the first two days of class.  Waitlisted students who attend the first two days of class will be given priority for vacant seats by order of the waitlist.
iii.  Signed Form  When a student is offered a vacant seat, the instructor will sign a course change form, which the student must bring to the Admissions Office (OM1155) by the deadline date to register for courses.
