Plan and register for courses

Remove conditions on your acceptance

If your official letter of acceptance contained conditions on your acceptance, you will need to satisfy those before your program can be activated and before you will be able to plan and register for courses.

If you were asked to provide a WES ICAP evaluation, official transcripts or test scores, be sure to arrange delivery directly to the School of Graduate Studies on the appropriate campus.

Official documents are those that are sent directly by the institution to the School of Graduate Studies by mail or email.

Before planning and registering for courses, contact your faculty, department or supervisor for guidance on which courses to add to your plan and schedule.

Registering for courses is a two-step process. Select and plan your courses, then complete the registration process. Planned courses are not registered courses.
