The Faculty encourages students to consider a minor that complements their major and/or career goal.  The Faculty also supports students combining their major with minor offered by another faculties.  Application for minor is made via SAS online.  The head of the department you wish to enter is responsible for granting online approval.

You may be permitted to do so at the discretion of the lecturer. Bear in mind, however, that a pre-requisite course provides many of the fundamental concepts required for the more advanced course. 

Course substitution refers to the replacement of a core course with another course.  You must seek and obtain permission from the Faculty Office for such a replacement.

Registration after the normal registration period may be permitted in exceptional circumstances.

Application to add or drop a course may be made through the Faculty Office via the Automated Student Request System (ASRS) via www.mona.uwi.edu/socsci/.   Late registration attracts a financial penalty.
