Course Changes
Course changes after your arrival are difficult and cannot be guaranteed because class space is limited.
If you would like to make a course change after you get to Kwantlen, you must fill out an Add/Drop form that can be picked up from the International Liaison Office or Registrar's Office. This form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar's Office by the appropriate deadline in order for the change to take place. You also must satisfy any pre-requisite requirements. Additional forms might be required to waive pre-requisite requirements for a course you would like to add.
When choosing to add or drop a course, there are specific deadlines to follow. For these deadlines click here.
