Registration tips

  • Use BOTH VSB and Minerva when planning your registration. Minerva is where you'll find the most accurate enrolment numbers once registration opens.
  • You need to login to VSB to see instructor and classroom information
  • Using the Advanced Search option in Minerva, you can search for all courses offered by a department or faculty, and also look for courses offered on specific days/times. This can be found under Step 2 of the Registration Menu.
  • In the course listings in Minerva, if you click on a course's CRN and then the course title, you will get to a page where you can see if there are Faculty/program/year restrictions on that section. This may help you figure out the registration issue you're having (i.e. one section of a course is only open to U0/ U1 students and the other section is open to all years).
  • For different types of registration issues, see below: 
Environment students trying to register for required ENVR courses:

Please email christina.zhu [at] mcgill.ca (Christina Zhu) for assistance

Environment students trying to register for required courses in other departments:

If you're having difficulty registering for a REQUIRED course, you can contact the department offering the course for assistance (i.e. for GEOG 302, contact the Dept. of Geography; for ECON 313, contact the Dept. of Economics, etc.): 

*Please note that in most departments, registration permits are only given for required courses, not for electives or complementary courses

Non-Environment students trying to register in ENVR courses:
  • If the course is REQUIRED for your program, please email christina.zhu [at] mcgill.ca (Christina Zhu) for assistance
  • If the course is a complementary or elective and you're receiving a "Reserve Closed" error message, that means that all the spaces for students in other programs are currently full. You'll need to add yourself to the waitlist or keep checking Minerva regularly to see if space opens up
