9.1 General Information

• The Marine Institute reserves the right in special circumstances to modify, alter, or waive any Marine Institute regulation in its application to individual students where merit and equity so warrant, in the judgement of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the Marine Institute.

• Students requesting a waiver of a Marine Institute regulation must submit their request in writing to the head of the program who will forward a recommendation to the Chair of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the Marine Institute. Medical and/or other documentation to substantiate the request must be provided. Medical documentation should normally be in the form of the Student Health Certificate, available at www.mun.ca/regoff/forms.php.

• Any waiver granted does not reduce the total number of credit hours required for the degree.
