Registration dates

Extension to the withdrawal deadline

The deadline to withdraw with a W standing has now been extended to April 14, 2021. You can withdraw from courses from your Student Service Centre Course Schedule any time before March 12, 11:59 pm.

For withdrawals from March 13 to April 14, you'll need to request to withdraw from a course with a W through your home faculty's advising office. Closer to March 13, your home faculty will follow up with details on how to request a withdrawal between March 13 and April 14, or the last day of the class.

When you'll know your registration date

You'll receive an email about 1 week before your registration opens to let you know that your registration date is on the Student Services Centre (SSC). You'll be able to register any time between your registration open date and the add/drop deadline, or course change date.

If you're a newly admitted or a continuing student in a partial program, your registration date may change. 

Check the SSC regularly for up-to-date registration information.
