Enrolment support

Before the system enrols you in a course, it checks whether you meet the enrolment criteria. Here are the most common reasons why the system won’t enrol you in a course:

• You don’t have the prerequisites.
• The place is reserved for a specific category of students and you don’t meet the criteria. For more, see our tutorial on reserved capacity.
• The course conflicts with another that is already in your schedule.
• You’re already enrolled for the maximum number of units allowed for the term and you didn’t use the “Swap” feature when you put yourself on the wait list.
• There isn’t a place for you in all the course activities (labs, discussion groups or tutorials).
• You’re already enrolled in another section of the course and you didn’t use the “Swap” feature when put yourself on the wait list.  See our tutorial on the “Swap” feature.
• Your student account is blocked. Make sure that your student account payments are up to date. You can also contact your faculty for help.

No. For security reasons, you can’t attend classes you’re not enrolled in. Each classroom has a maximum capacity that must be respected.

No. Being on the wait list doesn’t guarantee you a place in the course. That’s why it’s important for you to still enrol for a full course load and use the “Swap” feature when you do so that the system replaces one of your courses when a place becomes free. For more, see our video on the “Swap” feature.

No. We can't make exceptions and enrol you in a course if there are no places, even with the professor's permission.

Yes. When the system enrols you, you will receive an automatic email to tell you about the change in your file.

Unfortunately, once you’re on the wait list, you can’t change your choice of course section, lab, discussion group or tutorial. If you choose to remove yourself from the wait list to modify your choice, you will lose your place and will be put at the back of the line.

To find out your position on the wait list, use the Student Center and select the “My Class Schedule” tab. You can see your position on the wait list under the course code and title.

The wait list continues to function until the deadline for course enrolment. You can find the deadline for course enrolment in the Important academic dates and deadlines. Note: This also means that if you don’t want to be enrolled automatically by the system after the start of the term, you must get off the wait list.
