As of Fall 2025, waitlists are available within WebAdvisor. The WebAdvisor Help Guide for Waitlists is available on the Student Planning website.

Important note: Have you confirmed that all sections of the course are full before joining a waitlist? You may have missed sections that still have seats available. When you're on the "Plan, Schedule, Register & Drop" page of WebAdvisor, the left panel only shows six sections at a time. You need to use the arrows to view the other sections. When you're in the "Course Catalog", make sure you scroll all the way down the list of sections for the course. Being on a waitlist does not guarantee a spot in the section. Please consider registering for another section if space is available while also ensuring that your course/final exam schedule remains conflict free.

B.Math Academic Advisors are happy to provide advice about degree/major requirements and the associated rules and regulations. However, an elective is just that - an elective! Take what interests you. We will rarely be able to provide much insight into specific courses, especially those that are not Science. If you are considering applying for further education after your degree, some students find it helpful to consider any possible admission requirements when planning which courses to take as electives. For further details, please visit our Approved Electives page.

For urgent situations, students are welcome to come to our office during our regular open office hours (M-F, 9:00 AM to Noon, 1:15 to 4:00 PM. *Note: On Tuesdays we typically open at 10:00 AM.) for assistance. Unfortunately, adding "Urgent" to the subject of an email message is unlikely to achieve a faster response.

The Dean's Honour List is based on your semester average. The recognition is noted for each semester on your official University of Guelph transcript. Criteria can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar.
