Exemptions (without credit) are applied to pre-selected UWI level 1 courses for students who obtained a grade one (I) through to grade four (IV) in certain CAPE subjects.   Exemptions without credit means that credits will not be granted. In these cases students must replace the exempted UWI course with courses approved by the Department.

The grades earned for your Level 1 courses are not used to calculate the GPA to determine your class of degree, however, these grades will impact your rate of progress and will appear on your transcript. 

You will not normally be credited for the same course twice.  Please seek guidance from your department regarding a replacement course.

Requests for status letters should be made through the Admissions Section of the Registry.  

Students who wish to change their enrolment status should first go to the Request a Change of Major or Enrolment Status link at the Student Administrative Systems (SAS) Registration Menu which can be accessed at http://www.mona.uwi.edu.   Students may then notify the Dean's nominee in the Faculty Office at fsocsci@uwimona.edu.jm who will consider the request for online approval.
