Frequently Asked Questions:
I've written an English exit exam already, do I need to register for EDEC 215?
Yes, the provincial governement requires that all students in teacher education programs demonstrate their proficiency in the language of instruction. More information can be found on the Internships & Student Affairs website.
When do I need to start registering for courses?
Registration in Fall/Winter courses for returning students begins in late March or early April and ends a couple weeks after classes in the semester begin. A complete list of registration start and end dates can be found here.
What should I do if I'm having trouble registering for a course?
If you are getting an error such as 'program restriction' or 'reserve closed' when attempting to register for a course, first ensure that you are selecting the section designated for your program (see the notes under the course in class schedule search on Minerva). If you are still having trouble, contact the department offering the course (Educational and Counselling Psychology for EDPE and EDPI courses, Linguistics for LING courses, English for ENGL courses, etc.). The calendar entry for the course will indicate the offering department.
