Registration Eligibility and Student Responsibility

For non-UBC students, please apply to become a Visiting Student or an Unclassified Student by the application deadlines for eligibility to register for these courses.

We do not hold wait lists and instructors cannot register you into a section. If you are interested in enrolling in a section that is currently full, please check Student Service Centre regularly for an available seat since many students add and drop sections in the first two weeks of term.

Students who wish to take AUDI 402 and/or 403 must meet the above prerequisite requirements prior to registering for each course.  It is each student’s responsibility to ensure he/she meets these requirements. Failure to meet these requirements may result in inadequate preparation and background for successful course completion. Consequences of registering without the required background knowledge/skills (e.g., without adequate content area knowledge or sufficient English proficiency) may include failing some course components and/or the entire course.

NOTE: If you are unsure whether your coursework meets our 402 or 403 prerequisites, you should consult with their home institution’s undergraduate advisor. We are not able to provide consultation on other institutions’ course equivalences.
