Frequently asked questions

Q. I am having difficulty logging into my MyCampus account. What should I do? A.

If you are still having difficulties, please call the registration helpline at 905.721.3190. Q. How do I drop a course via MyCampus? A. To drop a course on your MyCampus account, go to the Add/Drop Courses screen. Select Web Drop from the drop down menu to the left of the CRN that you wish to drop. Click on Submit Changes at the bottom of the screen. If your course has been successfully deleted, it will be removed from your current schedule.

24

Q. I just tried to switch a lab section and was removed from the course entirely. Why? A. If the lab section you were trying to switch into was full, you were not added to that section; however, you were removed from your original lab section and the corresponding lecture because the lab that you dropped is linked to that lecture. In order to best avoid this happening, please check the availability of course sections prior to dropping a class. Q. How do I officially withdraw from UOIT? A. You will not be permitted to drop your last course via MyCampus, as this may constitute withdrawal from the university. To officially withdraw you must complete and submit a withdrawal form to the Registrars office. Please be aware of the withdrawal deadlines that are posted in the Important dates section of this document. Students must return their laptop within seven working days of withdrawal from their program. After this time, a late return charge will apply; the laptop will be deemed lost or stolen, and appropriate action will be taken to retrieve it. Students are responsible for fees related to damage, misuse, loss or theft as per the policy. No refunds will be processed and student marks may be withheld until the matter is resolved. Q. What is an elective? A. Electives, general electives or open electives may be chosen from any course in the list of offerings, including those offered by Trent University. However, some courses are restricted from degree credit in some programs. Be sure to read the calendar regulations carefully and ensure that electives will meet your program requirements. If you are unsure, contact your faculty academic advisor. Q. What do I do if I get an error message? A. If you click on the error message, a pop-up window will give you an explanation for the message.
