Graduate Course registration

Graduate student registration guide

How and when to register

The university uses an online registration system. You will be notified of your registration date and time by email. To ensure efficient service and personal assistance, you may have been assigned a specific registration time. You may register at any point after your allotted time. Keep in mind that you should register as soon as possible for access to the broadest selection of courses. Once the registration window has opened, it will remain open and you can continue to make changes to your schedule up until the posted registration deadlines.

Registration start dates

Spring/summer 2020 (May to August) - Online
  • Monday, April 6 at 9 a.m.
*Fall 2020 (September to December)

*Winter 2021 (January to April)

*Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 Course Offerings

It is anticipated that physical distancing directives, including the need to minimize large crowd gatherings, will remain in the early fall if not the full year. Given the need to communicate early and to be consistent through the full academic year, we have moved to  a blended approach with limited in-person campus presence. The focus will be on offering required course components, including action-oriented experiential learning activities (e.g., labs, simulations, research practicums, etc.).  Research activities, including graduate student projects, will be maximized to the extent possible. The remainder of the courses will be offered through quality online interactions.

Visit the Fall/Winter Course Offerings page for more information and to view in-person and online courses. 


Step-by-step graduate registration

Your responsibility

As a student, you are responsible for ensuring that your class schedule is accurate and complete, and that you have registered for the required courses for your program. You are also responsible for complying with the academic regulations outlined in the Graduate Academic Calendar. At the beginning of your online registration session, you will be presented with a registration contract.

Your privacy

Information supplied via the web registration system will be used for the following purposes: registration, decisions on your academic status, academic advising and to provide you with information related to your studies at the university. It may be shared with your course instructors, the student union, and other educational institutions at which you have applied or are/have been enrolled.

Communicating with you
