How to register

Step-by-step guide to registration

  • Step 1: Determine what courses you need to register for

    You should contact your faculty directly to help plan your schedule. 

    If you are in a research-based program, contact your supervisor to determine your course registration. If you are in a professional (non-research based) program, you may contact your graduate program director or graduate program staff member for assistance. 

    Program maps are located in the Graduate Academic Calendar. 

    You can preview available courses and choose lectures, labs and tutorials where applicable to plan a conflict-free timetable.

  • Step 2: Check your registration status
    1. Go to MyOntarioTech.
    2. Select Current students.
    3. In the Registration box, select Check your registration status. 
    4. If prompted, login using your network credentials. 
    5. On the Select a term page, use the drop down arrow to select Terms open for registration, select your term then click continue. 
  • Step 3: Plan your schedule
    1. Go to MyOntarioTech.
    2. Select the Current students box.
    3. In the Registration box, select Plan ahead.
    4. If prompted, login using your network credentials.
    5. On the Select a term page, select a term using the drop down arrow in Terms open for planning and then select continue. 
    6. On the Select a plan page, select Create a new plan.
    7. For each schedule that your want to create, use the course listed on your program map, and search for available sections using the class schedule search:
      • Select the Subject from the provided list using the first 4 letters of the course code.
      • Enter the four-digit number into the Course number field, followed by the letter “G." 
      • Select the View sections button and then select the Add button to add the desired course sections to your mock schedule. You can create up to six mock schedules per semester. Be sure to add all linked labs and tutorials for each course using the View linked button, if applicable. 
      • Remember to double-check restrictions and prerequisite requirements before finalizing your mock schedule. This will avoid any scheduling conflicts when you attempt to register into your chosen courses.
  • Step 4: Register for classes
    The easiest way to register is to upload your mock schedule that you already created in Step 3 (above).

    1. Select the Plans tab at the top of the screen, choose the plan that you would like to use for registration.
    2. Select Add All, followed by Submit.

    If you created a draft schedule manually, you can enter individual course registration numbers (CRNs) using the Enter CRNs tab. Alternatively, you can complete a traditional class search using the Find Classes tab, entering the subject and the course number (followed by the letter U) in the corresponding boxes.

    You can register for classes through MyOntarioTech:

    1. Go to MyOntarioTech.
    2. Select the Current students box.
    3. In the Registration box, select Add or drop courses online.
    4. If prompted, login using your network credentials.
    5. On the Select a term page, use the drop down arrow to select Terms open for registration, select your term then click continue.
