Academic advising

If you need to register in a course on Mosaic that is full and there are no alternative courses that satisfy your degree requirements, and you already meet the course requisites, you may contact the Department of the course and/or your Faculty Office. In addition, if a course is required for your program and there is room in the core component (normally the lecture) but you cannot select a conflict free lab and/or tutorial because they are all full, please contact the Department that offers the course.
