#add courses

[yorkulife]

I cannot enrol into my courses right now, there is an academic block on my record and this was already resolved weeks ago with speaking to my faculty. They said that it takes time for the block to be removed and I've been trying to be patient but the block is still not removed yet. I don't want to be annoying or disrespectful about this. What can I do?

Contact the Registrar’s Office, they’re the ones who remove blocks from student accounts. It shouldn’t take a week to remove a block from your account, usually it takes 48 hours from my experience.

hi, if some of the winter courses we want to take are currently full, can we just enrol in different winter courses to fulfill our fall/winter full time status for OSAP and then switch to the actual courses if they open up in the winter? thank you

Yes you can do that.

I start my classes in January, and I’ve enrolled in 3 courses as per my computer science program checklist But all the English/ philosophy/ anthropology classes are full. So can I begin with these 3 in the first semester and join in others later on in the year?

Yes, but just be aware of deadlines for adding courses.

When will winter courses open up again so you can pick/change courses? I want to change a 3 credit course I have in the winter.

Winter courses are already open, no additional courses will be added to the list. So, whatever’s available now is what you have to choose from. If a course is full then try to enroll during the first week of the Winter semester when students tend to change courses more often.

how do I take some courses at glendon for one semester?

You enroll the same way you would. So put in the CAT# in your REM.

How do I add a course with the departments permission? Do I need to fill out some form?

You need to contact the course department via email, or call them.

Hello, hope you are well. Unfortunately I wont be able to register for my classes by the add/drop deadlines of Sept 20. Do many professor's usually give permission for students to join their class? I can enrol by Oct 4 which is the deadline to enrol with instructor's permission but I'm just worried the profs might not let me even if there is space in the class. Thank you in advance.

Hi anon,

Hope you're fairing well too.

The profs can only allow permission if there is space in the class, they don’t prevent students from enrolling on purpose. I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I hope you’re able to enroll in classes earlier as most of them might be full by October.

The last day to add a class without the instructor's permission is Wed Sept 20, that I know, but do you think it'll be hard to catch up? Most likely I plan on switching an elective, I have it tomorrow and I still need more opinions of the prof :/

It depends on the course, if it’s only one lecture a week then you haven’t missed too much of the course. If it’s more than one lecture, then yes you might’ve missed a bit and will have to work to catch up.
