Registration in a Course or Program

Registration is the process of formally assigning and recording the enrolment of a student, usually in a course or courses. Registration is available only to those students who have received an offer of admission or readmission, or to students continuing from one term to the following term.

Students register using the Student Service Centre. Certain courses and sections may be restricted.

New students, and students who have been offered readmission to the University, will receive an offer of admission and additional information electronically.

All undergraduate students who are newly admitted to the University must pay a non-refundable deposit to confirm their acceptance of an offer of admission before they can register for the first time.

For further information regarding deposits, see Deposits. Deposits will be credited in full toward any assessed fees.

All students must pay their current fee instalment in full by the due date.

Students can register through the Student Service Centre.
