We know how challenging it can be to build a first year science timetable.  That is why we have done the work for you!   As you may have heard at SOAR or at your webinar, we have created three science timetables for you to choose from: 

*  Timetable A:  Students who plan to enrol in 3 or 4 of BIOL 102/103, CHEM 112, MATH 121, PHYS 117 should choose this schedule.  In this schedule, your lectures meet every morning in Duncan Macarthur Hall at West Campus and your afternoon labs are on Main Campus.  It will take approximately 15 minutes to walk from West Campus to Main Campus so keep this in mind when choosing your electives!

*  Timetable B:  This schedule is for students wishing to enrol in any of MATH 110, MATH 120, PHYS 104, PHYS 106.

*  Timetable C:  This schedule is designed for students who plan to enrol in 2 or fewer of BIOL 102/103, CHEM 112, MATH 121, PHYS 117.

Other Registration resources include:
  1. Read the Arts and Science 101: Handbook.
  2. Watch a recording of our Registration webinar.
  3. Call our hotline at 613-533-2470.  We'll be happy to help!
Check out our website for information pertaining just to first-year students.

Also, did you know that one of our largest residences, Jean Royce Hall, is located at West Campus?  How convenient would it be to be enrolled in Timetable A and live in Jean Royce Hall.   You would be no more than 5 minutes from your classes in Duncan MacArthur Hall, leaving you time to enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the dining hall before starting your day.   And if you ask to live in Jean Royce Hall, they will guarantee that you are given a single room!  If you would like to live in Jean Royce Hall, please email Libby Hearn to make your request. 

Best of luck with registration and remember if you need any help, call us at (613) 533-2470.
