Registration dates

When you'll know your registration date

You'll receive an email about a week before your registration opens to let you know that your registration date can be viewed in your Student Services Centre (SSC). You'll be able to register any time between your registration open date and the course change date, also known as the add/drop deadline.

If you're a newly admitted or a continuing student in a partial program, your registration date may change. Newly admitted students are also recommended to read further information about acceptance and registration deposits.

Check your Student Services Centre (SSC) regularly for up-to-date registration information.
