Health Science Course Petition
To: Dean W. James Weese, Associate Deans, and The Faculty of Health Sciences
It has come
to our attention that the number of senior-level Health Science courses offered
at the University of Western Ontario has drastically decreased for the year of
2014/2015. Due to this change, many of the current students enrolled in the
School of Health Studies are experiencing difficulty in being able to select
their required/ desired courses. Popular courses including HS3025, 3071, 4351, and along
with several others, are no longer available to the students in the faculty.
The cancelling of some courses is understandable; however, it leaves for limited
and competitive enrollment in the courses that are still be offered. To date,
there have been no accommodations for the recent cutbacks that have been made,
which has left many students in the faculty concerned about whether or not they
will be able to fulfill their graduation requirements. In addition, senior
students would prefer to be able to take courses that are of interest to them,
and relevant to the professional field they will soon be pursuing or entering. This cannot be done with such drastic limitations to our course selection.
To address this issue, the Health Science student body would like to request the following:
- An increase in class sizes, especially the more popular senior Health Science courses such as HS3052, 3050, and 4490 by at least 50% to accommodate for the recent cancellations
- Offer more than one section for popular Health Science courses to accommodate students who may be trying to fulfill module requirements
-An increase in the number of senior-level courses to help students fulfill graduation and graduate school requirements
Lastly, we would like to thank you for your time and consideration. We hope to hear back from you soon. Any questions and inquiries can be made at [email protected].

I keep hearing from people stuck in the exact same spot with their graduation requirements and it is honestly so stressful to think about how many of us are just scrambling now. I am working on getting a meeting set up with the administration to actually push them on this because the current lack of transparency is just not working for anyone.
June 27, 2014
Seeing all these names popping up is honestly kind of surreal because I remember when I was just staring at a blank page wondering if anyone else felt this frustrated by the course situation. It is really starting to feel like the Faculty might actually have to listen to us now since the momentum is growing so fast. I still need to fix that one typo in the description but for now I am just trying to keep up with all the notifications.

PLEASE fix this! I really need 4351 for my career path and now I have zero options left.
NEED MORE CLASSES. simple as that.
How am I supposed to graduate on time if the classes I need aren't even running? This is ridiculous and totally unfair to us.
Seriously? HS3071 is gone? That was the only class I was actually looking forward to taking this year.
Western needs to get it together. I pay a ton for tuition and expect to actually get the classes I need for my degree.

Total mess. They just keep cutting everything and expecting us to pay for more years of school.
