Fall/Winter Registration Deadline

Registration will occur automatically upon your payment of the minimum installment of your fees (or upon your official deferral of your fees) by August 27, 2024. If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by August 27, you will be removed from your courses at any time. A 10 day processing time is in place for bank payments to be received by the University before removing you from courses. Note that reinstatement in courses is not guaranteed as spaces may be filled. If you wish to register after you have been removed, you will be charged a reinstatement fee.

If you do not enrol in courses by the August 27 deadline, your registration status for the session is automatically changed to "Financially Cancelled." If your status is "Financially Cancelled" and you wish to take courses, contact the Office of the Registrar and Student Services for instructions.

Session Load

Students may take a maximum session load of 6.0 credits across the Fall/Winter academic session. Note that the maximum session load is set at 5.0 credits until priority is removed for course enrolment. On July 26th, priorities are removed and the maximum session load is changed from 5.0 to 6.0 credits; course enrolment opens on the student online service.

Students may take a maximum term load of 6 courses (or 3.0 credits) in each of the Fall (September to December) and the Winter (January to April) terms, unless their academic status is “On Probation.” Students on academic probation may take a maximum term load of 5 courses (or 2.5 credits) in each of the Fall and Winter terms.

Students should always try to balance their course enrolments across the Fall and the Winter, if possible. If you are enrolled in more than the maximum allowable term load, you will be removed from excess course enrolments on an on-going basis until after the last day to add courses. It is a student’s responsibility to monitor course enrolment and adhere to the maximum term load regulations.
