Program Change
The Registrar’s Office is pleased to launch a single "Change my Program Request" form, which will be more easily completed by our students. You'll find supporting information and the fill-able request form, at http://www.registrar.yorku.ca/services/changes/index.htm. The deadline to submit your program change request to the Faculty of Education (128 Winters College) is April 30. Once the fall/winter enrolment period begins, the Faculty of Education will not allow any changes of major until the following session. Any changes made after submitting your practicum placement request form may delay your placement in schools.
Stop-Out Year
Any teacher candidate who is planning to take a Stop-Out year in Fall/Winter 2010-2011 should submit a Stop-Out Authorization Form by the April 30 deadline date. To download a Stop Out Authorization form, visit http://www.registrar.yorku.ca/pdf/stop-out_authorization.pdf. Teacher candidates who will be on a Stop-Out next year will not need to complete a practicum preference form since the Faculty of Education does not need to arrange a practicum for them until the following year. Teacher candidates will be notified in February/March about when they should complete their practicum preference forms.
