Graduate Program Registration and Course Enrolment

Once you have accepted your offer, met the academic conditions of the offer and paid your tuition deposit (if applicable), your next step will be to register in your program and enroll in courses. Follow our helpful step-by-step guide for support below.


How To Guide

In the Graduate Timetable you can filter by term, location, and program department to see course schedules and begin thinking of your schedule. Please be advised that the timetable is subject to change and it is important to check back at the start of each term to confirm course location, day and time. 

When you are ready, to begin the registration process, follow these steps:

Step 1:  Accessing the Self Service

  • Students who have met all of their admission conditions will have their student account status become fully active approximately 6-8 weeks prior to their starting term (July, November and March). 

Step 2: Plan your Course Schedule 

  • Once you are an active student, you can begin planning your program placeholders and courses via the Self-Service portal prior to registration opening (optional). While this does not register you in the courses, it allows you to map out a plan of your schedule and be ready for when registration officially opens.
  • To plan your schedule, follow steps 3 and 4. Once registration opens, a blue button will appear allowing you to register your plan and officially join the program and courses you have selected (if offered). 

Step 3: Register in your Program

  • Before you can register for courses, you must first register in your program. You will need to do this each term you are an active student. This includes terms when you are doing a co-op or working on a thesis.  
  • To register in your program:
    • Within Self Service, select Course Catalog 
    • Use the Advanced Search or subject search feature to select Graduate Studies Full Time or Graduate Studies Part Time. 
    • Three choices will appear: Masters Level, Graduate Diploma Level and Doctoral Level. Choose the appropriate program level. 
    • View Available Sections for each status. Add the graduate placeholder to select term to schedule your program for registration. This will successfully add the program placeholder to your Course Plan.
  • From the main menu, you can then select Student Planning to review your plan, or register once registration is available. The program placeholder will now appear on your schedule with no meeting time. 
  • If registration is available, select the blue "Register" button. If successful, the registered program placeholder will appear in green.

Step 4: Enroll in your Courses

  • Once you are registered in your program, you can register for courses. You can plan your schedule prior to registration opening or directly register once registration opens.
  • To register in your courses:
    • Within Self Service, select Course Catalog. 
    • Use the Advanced or Subject Search feature to narrow your course choices (ex. by grad term), or you can use the search bar in the top right corner to search courses for your program (ex. Forensics) and narrow your search field by selecting graduate under academic level.
    • View the Available Sections for each course to see what is being offered, the course description and scheduling details. 
    • To select the course, click on the course to add it to your Course Plan.
  • From the main menu, you can then select Student Planning to review your plan, or register once registration is available. The course will appear in your schedule with course details. 
  • If successful, the registered course will appear in green.
