Register in Your Courses
Before you start:
New students:
Use the existing information under step 1 and step 2 of the course registration page found here.
Continuing students:
Refer to the academic calendar and the “my progress” function in self-service to ensure you know what courses you need to satisfy your program requirements and university requirements.
Step 1:
Login to MyTrent, click on the ‘academics’ tabs, then click on the ‘self-service’ icon.
Step 2:
Click on the ‘course catalog’ button to start searching for courses.
Step 3:
Once in the course catalog, you can do a catalog listing or a section listing. In this example, we will do a search for Child and Youth courses in the first 6 weeks of summer (the S61 term).
Step 4:
Apply your filters. For example, ‘Durham campus’, ‘third year’ courses.
Step 5:
Click on the “view available sections” box under the courses being added. Click on the blue “add section to schedule” button.
Step 6:
A box will pop up with additional details on the course, including prerequisite courses. Proceed with “add section” if you meet the prerequisites.
Step 7:
Once all courses are added, go back to the home page of self-service, and then click on the Student Planning and Registration icon, then click on “Plan your degree and register for your courses” at the top of the page. By default, this will load the current term. Click on the arrow to get to the summer term. Note that S12, S61, and S62 are treated as distinct terms and you will need to go through this process separately for each term.
Step 8:
Hit the arrow to the next term for summer to see the course section(s) added. Hit the arrow again to view the next term as well (i.e. S62).
Step 9:
The last step is to register. Click the icon on the left under each individual course added.
