  • Writing to the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs stating the reason(s) for seeking exemption from the full-time registration requirements stated in (Section 7.9).
  • by completing a Academic Change Form, accompanied by a statement from the departmental graduate supervisor/associate chair (graduate affairs)  – and the thesis supervisor, if applicable  – in support of their request.

It is understood that such a status change will be granted only in exceptional cases (e.g. for medical reasons).  Exemptions are normally granted for a term.
Extension Request Form – used for Extension of Program – Time limits are strictly enforced (Section 13.5 of the Graduate Regulations). Prior to considering an extension, FGPA requires a statement as to why the extension is required; and a specific time line/schedule indicating how you intend to complete your program requirements within the extended term. This needs to be reviewed and approved by your Research/Thesis Supervisor to guarantee that it meets with their schedule.
