Academic Advising and Program Planning
Academic Advisors are here to help you with program planning and will assist you in navigating your way through academic regulations. You can connect with an Academic Advisor who can help answer many of your questions.
Advisor, our Degree Audit tool, is designed to help you understand what requirements you need to complete in your program to graduate.
While the system allows you to work independently, everything you see on Advisor must be reviewed and verified by your faculty. We strongly recommend that you meet with your Academic Advisor throughout your program to discuss your academic goals; this system is for planning purposes only.
Advisor allows you to:
- See at a glance where you are at in your program.
- View your outstanding requirements.
- Understand how your courses apply to your program.
- Explore your academic options (courses, programs, majors, minors, etc.).
- Review your current and future academic goals with your Academic Advisor.

Alternate Exam Location Information 
Students requesting an alternate exam location will be responsible to arrange for an approved invigilator, confirm the alternate location for the exam(s), pay for any additional costs that are incurred for exam invigilation, and ensure that the invigilator can provide the necessary environment to invigilate an online exam when required.
A proposed invigilator must be fluent in written and spoken English, or the language of instruction of the course, and be a permanent employee in one of the following categories:
- A professor or instructor at a recognized public or private post-secondary institution;
- An administrative, professional, or library employee of a recognized public or private post-secondary institution;
- An administrative, professional, faculty, or library staff member of recognized public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school;
- An administrative or professional staff member of a public library;
- A ranking officer in the Armed Forces;
- An official at an embassy or consulate office.
A proposed invigilator may not be a friend, neighbour, co-worker, supervisor, family member, or relative of the student, and must not live at the same address as the student. The faculty, federated college, or academic unit of the course must be confident that there is no conflict of interest between the approved invigilator and student. To seek approval for an invigilator that is not on the approved invigilator list, use the Application for Alternate Exam Location form, submit it to the Registrar’s Office, who will forward your request to your faculty, federated college, or academic unit of the course. An application for alternate exam location will not be approved when personal or leisure travel arrangements are made by the student or others on their behalf.
Please note: The University retains the right to refuse a proposed invigilator. The University maintains the right to request documentation that confirms the student’s place of residence and/or to refuse a proposed location and invigilator. Permission to write at an alternate location will not be granted to students registered for any in person class in the same term as an online or remote class section.
