Registration Basics
Everything you need to know!

registration 101 -  Registration how to's are available on this chart . General registration for all Arts & Science students is available on their website .

swap and edit functions in SOLUS -  If you have want to switch courses or labs/tutorial times, use the SWAP function . to change courses and the EDIT function to move to a new lab/tutorial section in the same course. Avoid using the DROP function since you will lose your spot in the course (if the course you want to enroll in is full you won't have a back-up).

drop/failure -  If you have dropped or failed a course that is core to your program, note that you are responsible for registering yourself. If you need assistance because of SOLUS restrictions reach out to the SKHS UG office .

course summaries -  Not sure what courses to take? Read the course summary ! Familarize yourself with the courses offered each year.

know your plan -  The Degree Audit Form (KIN) (HLTH) will help you plan what courses you have taken and which ones you still require. See the Plan Requirements webpage. Use the registration worksheet to choose your core courses, option courses and elective courses.

outstanding debts -  If you have a hold on your record, you will not be able to register in courses and we cannot pre-enrol you. Contact the Registrars office to take care of your debts.

worried about taking a full course load online? -  There will be additional courses offered in the Spring/Summer term in order for you to catch up. Registration will begin in late October 2020 for Spring/Summer term.

Deans Honours List

If you read Academic Regulation 12 – Dean’s Honour Lists (Pg.27), you will learn that the required GPA of 3.50 for the academic year of 2019-20 includes Summer Term 2020. The Faculty of Arts & Science will be running the reports for grades at the end of August and it takes a couple weeks beyond that for the rulings to be confirmed and entered on individual transcripts. The rulings of “Dean’s Honour List” or “Dean’s Honour List with Distinction” (top 3% of all students within their program group – see above regulation) will start appearing on transcripts from mid- to late September
