  • Your Registration Time for Summer Term will be visible in your Aurora account on Monday, March 20.

Course Registration

  • Following the initial registration period, registration will be available to all students on a 24-hour basis until the final registration date for that course.

  • If you are uncertain in which session your class is being offered, refer to the "Part of Term" information in the Class Schedule or see the chart below. 
     

Gradual Space Release

  • During the initial registration period, spaces in some high-demand courses are released each day in equal numbers to ensure fair access for all students. 
  • For example, a course has 60 spaces and 15 spaces are released each day of the 4-day initial registration period. These courses will be identified by a comment included in the Aurora Class Schedule a few days before the start of registration.
     

Summer Term Course Loads

  • Students are advised not to take too many courses during the Summer term due to the academic term being compressed.
  • Most students may register for a maximum of 18 credit hours, though some faculties/schools may have different limits.
  • Course load limits may be extended, but this is entirely dependent on the faculty, school, or college that you are registered in.
     

Course Cancellations

  • Every effort is made to ensure that all of the courses listed in the Summer Session course catalogue are available for registration.
  • In the event that a course is cancelled, all students who are registered in the cancelled course will be notified and receive all paid fees associated with it.
     

Examinations

  • The Summer Term class schedule includes Final Exam dates for many classes. Students may not register for courses where exams are scheduled for the same day and time. 
  • Accommodations may not be made for students who register for courses that result in Exam Conflicts - please check with a Student Advisor in your faculty, school, college or advising office.
     

Be sure to check your fees after you make any changes to your Summer Term registration. Changing or removing courses can influence your fees.

Fall and Winter Term Registration

  • Registration access: Once it is your registration date and time, you will have 24-hour access to the registration system until the final registration date for that course. Although students may register on weekends, no registration times will begin on the weekend.
     
  • Reserved space in classes:  Spaces in some course sections may be reserved for students in specific programs, normally only until the first week of August.  Reserve details are included in the Class Schedule.
     
  • Select courses will include a Waitlist function, allowing students to be added to a waitlist and notified when a space becomes available. *
     
  • Limited Access does not currently apply: Students will be able to register to repeat a course (or equivalent) during their initial registration time.
     
  • Course Drop and Add dates:
    • Course Drop date – the last date to drop a course with a refund.
    • Course Add Date – the last date to add a course in the revision period.
       

* Students must have an active UM email account to receive waitlist notifications. 

Consecutive Courses in Summer Term

It is possible to take two consecutive courses within the Summer Term, with the first course being the prerequisite for the second course. The first course would normally be offered in the first "half" of Summer Term (May and June), and the second course in the second "half" (July and August).
 
To register in both courses without getting a prerequisite error, ALL sections of the first (prerequisite) course must be scheduled to finish before the scheduled start of the second course. (Example 1).
 
If any of the sections of the prerequisite course offered in Summer Term end after the scheduled start of the second course, students will need to contact their advisor to get a prerequisite override to register for the second course." (Example 2).

 

Example 1:  CHEM 1100 is the prerequisite for CHEM 1120

In Summer Term 2023...

CHEM 1100 is offered in May and June and ends June 15 (only one section is offered).
CHEM 1120 is offered in July and August and starts July 3.

CHEM 1100 ends before CHEM 1120 starts, so you will be able to register for both courses without contacting an advisor for a prerequisite override.

 

Example 2: ANTH 1220 is the prerequisite for ANTH 2000

In Summer Term 2023...

ANTH 1220 A01 is offered in May and June and ends June 15.
ANTH 1220 D01 is offered from May to August and ends August 11.
ANTH 2000 A01 is offered from July to August and ends August 11.

ANTH 1220 is the prerequisite for ANTH 2000. You are currently registered in ANTH 1220 section A01, which ends before ANTH 2000 begins. However, you will still require a prerequisite override because there is another section of ANTH 1220 (D01) that will not be done before ANTH 2000 starts.

If you have questions or are unable to resolve any registration errors you encounter, contact an academic advisor in your faculty

Registration revisions

The registration revision period is the first two weeks of the start of term.  This period is considered the 'add and drop' period, where you can make changes to your course or timetable choice without academic or financial penalty. Courses dropped during this period are not recorded on official transcripts or student records, and a tuition refund will be granted for dropped courses that have already been paid for.

During the registration revision period, you can: 

  • Add a new class if you changed your mind about your course subjects, or if a course that was previously full is now available.  
  • Switch a lecture or lab to a more preferred day/time. 
  • Register in a course for which you were waitlisted if you receive notification that space is available. 

Once the registration revision period ends, you can still Voluntarily Withdraw from a class, however, it will be recorded on your transcript and student history and you will not receive a tuition refund.
