Students admitted on Special Student status have limited access to credit courses and normally require special approval to register.
International students must present a valid study permit to the Office of the Registrar before registering.
Students with outstanding accounts at the university, including but not limited to tuition, library loans or fines, emergency student loans and materials fees may not register unless their account has been settled.

How To Register
Select ‘Registration’ from the menu.
Declaration Form
The first time you register for the summer or fall/winter semesters the Declaration Form will appear. You will be required to complete this form only once for each of these semesters. The on-line declaration is equivalent to your signature on a registration form and allows you to verify that your recorded program and immigration status are correct. Click on the pulldown menu to select the applicable Program/Session (e.g. Undergraduate: Summer). Confirm your program status and immigration status by clicking in the appropriate circles and click ‘Submit’.
∆ If your immigration status has changed, you must bring the official documentation (your record of permanent resident status or your citizenship card) to the Office of the Registrar for verification. Students who do not provide documentation confirming their citizenship will be subject to international tuition fees.
Computer Account Agreement
Once you have submitted your Declaration, the Computer Account Agreement pages will open. Note your personal computer account ID and student email address, and read the Acceptable Computer Use policy.
Indicate that you have read and understood the policy by entering your PIN in the appropriate box and click on ‘Submit Agreement’. You will then be transferred to the Registration page.
Registration
Select the applicable Program/Session from the pulldown menu.
Enter the course name and number you wish to register for (e.g. LBST1B06) in the designated box and click on the ‘Show Available’ button.
Click on the course section you wish to add from the Available Primary Offerings list and then click on the ‘Add Course’ button on the left bar.
The course section you select must be highlighted before you click on the ‘Add Course’ button. Note that even if the course only has one section available, you must click on it before clicking on the ‘Add Course’ button.
If the course requires registration in a corresponding tutorial or lab, you must also choose (click on) a section in the Available Secondary Offerings list before clicking on the ‘Add Course’ button on the left bar.
Read ANY messages which appear - they contain important information concerning your registration selection.
Note: If a course is full, the following message will appear:
“There are no open sections available under this course name and number. Check the course schedule for possible alternatives.”
Review your successful registration as it appears in the List of Registered Courses box. If no courses appear under this heading, your registration was not successful.
Click on the ‘Exit System’ button to end your registration session.
Course Times And Locations
To view your confirmed course schedule, click on 'Students/STUDENT LOGIN/My Records (Formerly Register On-line)'. Log on to the Student Information System and select 'Course Times and Locations' from your Student Access Menu. Print your schedule by pressing Ctrl+P and selecting the landscape print option. Dropped courses may appear on your schedule until the next business day. Course locations (room numbers) will be displayed on your schedule at least two weeks before classes begin.
Deregistration
The university may deregister you from your course(s) for the following reasons:
- Not having the proper prerequisites as noted in the Course Calendar.
- Not providing required documentation.
Withdrawals/Changes
If you change your mind about the course you have registered for and you want to drop it or switch into another course, check the Registration Deadlines for adding courses, and Course Withdrawals / Refunds (under 2008 Summer Fees) for dropping courses. The registration system will only be operational for withdrawals and course changes within specified time limits for each duration.
Overrides
Students may request an override when they do not meet the registration requirement of the course (for example, "must be a photography student" or "have 9.0 completed credits”). They may also request an override to gain access to a course if the course is full. The Dean of the Faculty offering the course will decide whether or not to grant the override in these situations. Note: Late registration fees may apply.
An override is not registration. Once the Faculty office has entered the override on the computer the student must register via the web following normal registration procedures. Overrides do not prevent deregistration.
Overrides are issued by the Faculty office offering the course. Students who require an override to register should contact the appropriate Faculty office during regular office hours at least three business days before registration closes.
Overrides Are Not Necessary When:
The course has no restrictions, or the student meets the restriction and the course is not full.
Student ID Card
New students or students who do not have a current Ontario College of Art & Design student identification card may obtain a valid card from Campus Services & Security, 115 McCaul Street, Level 1. Proof of fee payment is required.
Studio Access
All students currently registered at the university have access to the building and designated studios during regular university hours. Access to specialized studios and workshops will be available only at scheduled times.
