What is Course Enrolment?

Enrolment is the process of creating your timetable by adding the courses you plan to take in ACORN. Based on your program, year of study and pre-registration information, the Registrar’s Office will enrol students in some courses prior to the enrolment period.

Students are expected to have a conflict-free schedule and regularly attend lectures, labs and tutorials. Academic consideration will not be given to students with timetable conflicts.

Students agree, by virtue of enrolment, to abide by all the academic and non-academic policies, rules and regulations of the university and confirm responsibility for payment of associated fees.

Enrolling in Engineering Courses

Upper-year students can add Engineering core, technical and elective courses on July 10, at 6 a.m. Review your year's enrolment process below.

Enrolling in Electives & Arts & Science Courses

Upper-year students can add Engineering electives or Arts & Science enhanced enrolment courses on July 10, at 6 a.m. All Arts & Science courses open to engineering students on July 30, at 6 a.m.

What is Registration?

Registration is the process of submitting a payment or deferral to secure your enrolment. To complete the registration process, you must pay or defer your tuition fees by  August 12, 2025. Payment by this deadline ensures your registration is processed before the financial cancellation deadline. Registration processing may take up to 5-10 business days.

Pay or Defer Fees

Students may view their invoice on ACORN in mid-July. Review the sections below for how to complete your registration by payment, deferral (OSAP, government-aid) or scholarship funds.

Monitor Your ACORN Status

Before course enrolment begins, eligible students are “Invited” to register for the upcoming session. Their status will then change to “Registered or “Financially Cancelled” based on the following:

Step 4: Check Scholarships & Financial Aid Opportunities

Engineering students do not have to face financial challenges alone. At any time of the year, you can connect with the Scholarships & Financial Aid Office for financial advising or support.

Review below information on how scholarships are applied to your tuition fees and upcoming financial aid opportunities.

Step 5: Managing Courses

As you progress throughout the term, remember that you have options to manage your course load. If you are considering adjusting your courses, connect with your Academic Advisor for guidance and to ensure this aligns with your academic plan.

Step 6: Prepare for the Fall Term

The faculty and university have several resources to help you succeed in your undergraduate studies. Prepare for the new academic year by reviewing the resources and support available to undergraduate engineering students. 

We look forward to welcoming you to campus in the Fall! If you have any questions, please consult the Registrar's Office or your department's undergraduate office.
