Pasquale Palombo received the Angela Armitt award for obtaining the
highest average among part-time students graduating at the Autumn 2012
Convocation.
“At age 62 I decided to pursue a life long dream of obtaining a university
degree. I enrolled at Western with the equivalent of a grade 10 education
abroad despite the fact that English was not my first, nor my second language.
My accomplishment is tangible proof that with hard work and perseverance
you can conquer anything in life you set out to achieve.”

Why Attend
University
“Humanities and Social Science graduates in Canada earn
higher incomes and have lower unemployment rates than
the average graduate of community colleges and private
vocational schools, institutions nonetheless often praised
by the media as being more attuned than universities to the
labor market.”

into perspective, gave great tips, and had friendly, helpful
instructors. Most importantly it gave me the confidence I
needed to finally go back to school. Thank you.”

Choosing the Right Course
Choose a course that reflects your interests, especially at the beginning of
your program. You will be more motivated if you take a course that interests
you; the course experience will be more satisfying.
Gathering further information will help you to choose a course that will be
manageable. You can obtain more information about courses in a number
of ways:
1. Start with a course description; it will help you to determine what is
required for the course. In an English literature course, for example,
you would expect to do a substantial amount of reading and writing.
2. Departments can provide you with detailed course outlines,
including such information as commonly used textbooks and typical
assignment breakdowns. Some of these outlines may be found at
departmental websites.
3. Browsing through textbooks at the University Book Store can also
show you the range of ideas and concepts involved in subject areas.
4. Ask someone who has taken the course for an opinion, or contact
the instructor to find out more about the course.
5. Department Counsellors have valuable information about the
courses you may be considering and are usually the best resource to
assist with specific course information.
Selecting Senior Courses
Part-time students are encouraged to complete 5.0 first-year courses equivalents
numbered 1000-1999 before they select senior courses (2000-4999).
However, after successfully completing one first-year full-course equivalent, part-time
students may be permitted to select senior courses for which they have prerequisites,
as long as first-year requirements are completed within their first ten attempts.
Before completing a first-year course, part-time students who have a substantial
background and interest in a particular subject area may be permitted to register
in a senior course pertinent to that subject on the written recommendation of the
Dean’s Office of their Faculty.

How Many Courses
May I Take
Fall/Winter
Part time:
Full time:
a maximum of 3.0 courses.
between 3.5 and 5.0 courses
All students may choose from courses offered during the day, evening,
by Distance Studies, or a combination of these.
Spring/Summer
• maximum of 3.0 courses
• no more than 2.0 courses may be taken simultaneously.
• if 2.0 courses are taken simultaneously, only 1.0 course may
be laboratory/tutorial course, and only 1.0 may be taken by
Distance Studies.
Distance Studies
Spring/Summer: 1.0 course
Fall/Winter: 2.0 courses
How Long Will It Take
To Complete A Degree
There is no time limit for completing most Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor
of Science degrees. Therefore, you may choose the pace that best suits
you. For example, part-time students who complete 2.0 courses in
the Fall/Winter session and 1.0 course in the Spring/Summer session
would take five years to complete a 15.0 course (Three Year) BA, and 7
years to complete a 20.0 course (Four Year) BA. Although many parttime
students spread their degree over several years, some part-time
students stay at the same pace as full-time students by completing
3.0 courses during the Fall/Winter session and 2.0 during the Spring/
Summer session.
Choose the pace that best suits you.

Distance Studies occurs when learners are separated from the
instructor and classmates, whether across the hall or across the
province. Unlike the courses of the past that depended entirely on
written communication through the mail, today’s distance courses may
include multimedia materials and often take advantage of the Webbased
communication technologies. Western’s Distance Studies online
courses will let you pursue university studies if you cannot attend
regular classes. This form of instruction allows you both time and place
flexibility to meet your educational objectives.
Format
Each on-line course is mediated through OWL (formerly known as
WebCT OWL), now powered by Sakai. OWL is a learning management
system that provides a set of tools that are all web based. You use a
web browser to view and interact with other students and course
material in a manner similar to viewing web pages on the internet. In
addition to OWL’s learning resources, many courses have a textbook
or collection of readings, which have been selected by your instructor,
to aid in your learning. Textbooks and collected readings may be
purchased at the University Book Store (www.bookstore.uwo.ca)
Online Courses
OWL is the primary delivery tool for most online courses and is a
supplementary resource in others. Online courses give you the same
opportunity to learn as on-campus courses, except they are more
flexible. Just as you would prepare yourself for an on-campus course,
preparing your computer is your responsibility. You will require an
Internet connection and are responsible for the cost of arranging the
connection. Both dial-up and high-speed Internet connections are
supported by OWL. Note: The increasing sophistication of web-based
resources means that it may take more time to access OWL over a
dial-up connection. Please take this into consideration when choosing
your Internet connection. You can also use Internet functions to search
library catalogues and other resources around the world. Students who
take courses by this method enjoy the stimulation of discussion, the
social contact the system provides, and access to worldwide resources.
OWL can be found at http://owl.uwo.ca/portal
Examination Centres
When registering for Distance Studies courses, students must select an
exam centre. Once you have selected the centre, you must write the
midterms and/or final examinations at that location.
To change your exam centre contact the Distance Studies office at 519-
661-2111 x84879 or email distexam@uwo.ca. Any changes must be
made at least 4 weeks prior to the exam date.
There is a fee to have a “make-up” exam scheduled off-campus.
Note: The final day to add a half (0.5) or full (1.0) Distance Studies course,
by paper, for the Summer Term is May 10, 2013. If you encounter difficulty
registering, please contact the Registration Help Line at 519-661-2100.

reserves the right to withdraw course offerings.

confirmed, your payment is deferred until your funding is available.
Visit the OSAP website at http://osap.gov.on.ca to confirm your
loan entitlement. Students are responsible for paying any outstanding
balance that is not covered by their funding by the due date on their
statement of account. Failure to do so will result in a late payment
penalty.
External Sponsorships
Students whose fees will be paid by an external sponsor must provide
proof of funding for each term to Student Financial Services, WSS 1120
before the tuition deadline to avoid late payment penalties. Students
are responsible for payment of any fees or penalties not paid by the
sponsor.
Senior Citizen Bursary
Mail the completed application to Student Financial Services - Office of
the Registrar, WSS 1140.
Adding A Course(s)
Students who add a course(s) will see their updated tuition fee balance
on their online statement of account at student.uwo.ca.
You will need your Western user ID and password to access this
information. Students must ensure that fees are paid in full no later
than five (5) days from the date of adding that course(s) without any

the due date on the statement of account or arrange a deferment will
result in financial and academic sanctions. For more information, refer to
the ACADEMIC SANCTIONS, DEREGISTRATION and REINSTATEMENT
sections of the Academic Calendar.
Cancellation Fees
Part-time students who cancel their courses after web registration
closes for each session and prior to the start of the session will be
assessed a cancellation fee of $58.00 per full course* and/or $29.00
per half course*. Also see WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS below. It is
very important that students advise the Registrar’s Office (Academic
Records) in writing, as soon as possible, if they are cancelling their
registration. Failure to do so promptly will result in additional charges
based on the current refund schedule. Affiliated University College
students should advise their Registrar.
*Fees for Summer are subject to change. Please check our website for
more information.
Withdrawals and Refunds
(After the Session Begins)
For most Spring/Summer sessions, in addition to the cancellation
fee, the amount of refund or fees owing changes DAILY. Therefore, it
is important to notify your Faculty’s Academic Counselling Office in
writing immediately if you plan to withdraw from a course. Affiliated
University College students should advise their Registrar. If you do
not notify your Faculty’s Academic Counselling Office you will be
considered a course registrant and will be assessed the full fee as well
as receiving a grade of “F” for the course. The amount of refund or fees
owing is calculated on the date authorized by the Faculty’s Academic
Counselling Office.
Details and specific fee/refund tables can be found on our website:
www.registrar.uwo.ca.
If the withdrawal or course drop results in a credit balance in your fees
account: i.e. payments are greater than charges, a refund cheque is
produced. The University has been directed by the Ministry of Training,
Colleges and Universities to return refunds to the National Student
Loan Centre in instances where payment was received through a
Government Student Loan. No interest is paid on refunded tuition.
Caution: If you are thinking of dropping any courses, contact Student
Financial Aid to see how this might affect your financial assistance as
soon as possible.
Letter of Permission Students
Students on Letters of Permission from another university must arrange
with their home university to send a Letter of Permission to Western
before registering in a course(s).
You must also provide proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent
resident status so that you are not assessed the higher international
tuition fees. Also, include your telephone number and mailing address.
After Western receives your Letter of Permission, a confirmation letter
will be sent to you. This letter will provide you with your Western Student
Number, Personal Computer Account user ID, and Access Code. Please
telephone 519-661-2100 if the registration deadline is approaching and
you have not received your letter.
Concurrent or Combined Degrees
One Professional and One Bachelor
Degree Taken at the Same Time
Students who are currently registered in a professional degree may
apply for permission to register concurrently in a Bachelor degree.
Tuition fees applicable to the professional degree will be charged and
primary registration will reflect the Faculty offering the professional
degree in all academic terms, including registration in non-professional
summer courses, co-op and internship.
Changing Your Address
The Office of the Registrar maintains only one address for each
student. Please ensure that the Office of the Registrar has your current
address. Students may review and change their address on-line at
student.uwo.ca. You will require your Western user ID and password.
Mail that is returned to the Office of the Registrar will not be redirected.

cannot be taken for credit. When you take a course that has an
antirequisite, you will lose credit for the first course taken.
Prerequisite
A prerequisite is a course you must successfully complete before
registering for credit in a desired course. You must satisfy the course
prerequisites that appear in course descriptions. There are many
courses without prerequisites.
Corequisite
A course which must be taken concurrently with (or before registration
in) the desired course. Your course selection may be deleted without
warning if you do not have the requisites and you do not have prior
written special permission waiving the requisites.
Essay Courses (E, F, G, Z)
Essay courses require more written assignments than other courses.
Full-year introductory essay courses, for example, require the
completion of written assignments that total at least 3,000 words, or
about twelve typed, double-spaced pages, or 5,000 words for a senior
course. See also Graduation Requirements in the Academic Calendar.
Timetable Information
Course Components

eligible for transfer credit and you may wish to apply to an upper year.
Résumé portion of Application
Be sure to indicate all secondary and post-secondary institutions
attended.
For activities while not in school, feel free to group years together
if space is not sufficient but be sure to account for all years from
secondary school to the present. If this information is not complete, it
can delay the processing of your application.
Submitting The Application
If You Are Admitted
You will receive an Admissions Assessment Form that outlines the
particulars of your admission. This form includes information about the
degree program, year and term(s) to which you have been admitted,
and any transfer credit that has been granted.
What If I Am Admitted But
Do Not Register
If you do not register during the calendar year in which you have been
admitted, your admission will be cancelled and all documents you have
submitted will be destroyed. You will have to apply again the following
year and re-submit documents.
Registering In Specific Courses:
Registration for specific courses occurs after you have been admitted.
Note: If you require a paper copy of the part-time application form or if you
have not received an admission decision and the term is about to begin,
contact the Admissions Office at 519-661-2100 or the appropriate Affiliated
University College Registrar’s Office.

Apply as early as possible. Submit your application and all
documentation well in advance of the application deadline to increase
the amount of time available to communicate a decision to you. This
will give you the maximum amount of time to register.
Deadlines can be found on the Admissions website:
www.welcome.uwo.ca
Applying by the appropriate deadline does not guarantee admission or
space in specific courses.
Submit documentation appropriate to your educational
background. Information about the kind of document(s) required
appears on the instruction page of the application. Official documents
must be sent by the academic institutions, not by the applicant as
student copies are not acceptable. Documentation should be sent to
the Admissions address. Electronic requests for transcripts are available
for some institutions. Please see the application for details.
After You Submit The Application
Once we receive your application, we will acknowledge its receipt and
request any required documentation. After we have evaluated your
application and supporting documentation, you will be notified of an
admissions decision.
