Registrar's Warrants
The Registrar’s Course Warrant (RW) allows Departments/Faculties to take advantage of the opportunity to offer a new course that the Department/Faculty was unable to include in the Faculty’s Calendar submission.
A course may be offered on RW for one calendar year. Following this year, an RW course may be offered on an ongoing basis pending the Department/Faculty’s next Calendar Submission. As such, RW courses are distinctly identified within the Undergraduate Calendar under the Registrar’s Course Warrant header.
