Course Enrolment

As a new student, you are automatically enrolled in your required fall and winter term courses in early August, if:

• You are admitted into the first semester of a full-time program
• You have confirmed your Offer of Admission by mid-July

If you are automatically enrolled into your required courses, your class schedule will appear on your Student Center in MyServiceHub in early August. During your enrolment period, you must enrol into your elective fall and winter term courses and you can adjust your fall term course schedule.

If you are not automatically enrolled into your required courses, you must enrol into all of your fall and winter term courses (required and elective, if applicable) during your enrolment period.

If you are a transfer student, you must apply for transfer credits as soon as possible since granted transfer credits may impact your course selections. Before completing course enrolments, visit Transfer Credits: Next Steps to learn about your Transfer Credit Report and how transfer credits apply to your degree requirements. 

Automatic Course Enrolment:

If you have received transfer credits for courses you have been auto-enrolled into, you will need to adjust your enrolments. You can drop the courses that you received transfer credits for to create space for other courses. Use the program curriculum listed in the Undergraduate Calendar as a guide. If you need help with course selection, contact your program advisor.

TMU Internal Transfers and Non-Applicable Transfer Credits:

If you have transferred between TMU programs, you do not need to apply for transfer credits for courses completed at TMU. You must check your Advisement Report, and if any courses completed in your previous program are listed in the non-applicable section. 

Have non-applicable courses? Consider submitting a Course Directive or Course Substitution to see if you can apply them towards your degree requirements. Visit Internal Course Transfers for more info. If you need help, contact your program advisor.

The Undergraduate Calendar lists the curriculum for your program and all of the courses that must be completed in order to complete your degree. You should follow the curriculum for your program and year level.

The Advisement Report shows what courses you are required to take to graduate. It confirms your completed courses, credits, and enrolled courses. After adding courses, this can be used to ensure all courses needed for the year have been enrolled into.

New students: Your program department may give you more info about enrolment during your first-year orientation or in an enrolment workshop. Look out for emails from your faculty or program or both for info on these sessions.

Questions specific to your course curriculum should be directed to your program advisor.

Please visit the Course Intensions page for details on the reasons why course intentions did not result in the course enrolment.

If you are a new student, please note you are only scheduled into your fall term required courses. You must enrol yourself in non-required courses.

If your course has not been scheduled, you are able to adjust your fall term course schedule during your course enrolment period.

You may register for a course wait list if one is available for the course that you are attempting to enrol into. Once on the wait list, if a space becomes available in the course section and is during an open time in your schedule, you will be automatically enrolled.

If there is no wait list for the course, you should check back to see if spaces become available over time. As other students adjust their course schedules, spaces in courses often open up.

If you are attempting to enrol into a non-required course (e.g. electives, liberal studies), you may opt to take an alternative course to fulfill the program requirement. There may be another opportunity to enrol into your desired course in a future term. 

Alternatively, you may take these courses through the The Chang School of Continuing Education (opens in new window) . Note: For full-time Undergraduate students, Chang School course enrolments are subject to all Chang School deadlines, including The Chang School refund deadlines (opens in new window) .

If you are attempting to enrol into a core/required course for your program and term, please reach out to your academic program advising contact for advice.

There may be several reasons why you are having difficulty enrolling into a course. Normally a reason is indicated in an error message, which may include:

• Scheduling conflict: Course conflicts with another one on your current schedule. You will need to choose a different section of the course or a different course overall.
• Department consent required: Approval to take the course from your program department is required.
• Hold on your account: Review the Holds in your Student Center and contact the appropriate department for further assistance (as indicated in the hold description).
• Missing prerequisites or corequisites: Review the requirements listed in the Undergraduate Calendar, and make any necessary changes to your class schedule.

Enrolment in another section of the same course: Enrolment in more than one section of the same course is not possible. Use the swap function to change the course section.
