Am I eligible to register?

If you have paid your confirmation fee, you should be eligible to register for courses unless:

  • You are accepted to a program that is part of the Health Studies department, the Community Studies department, or the Atlantic Police Academy, and you have not uploaded all required supplementary documents to your dashboard. If your student file is not complete, you will not see your program displayed in Self Service, and you will not be able to register. 

  • If you require English proficiency or a study permit as part of your requirements, you will not be able to register until these have been uploaded to your Dashboard.

What if I can't find my program in self-service?

If you don’t see your program listed in Self Service, please upload any missing documents to your HC Dashboard as soon as possible. 

If you are waiting on items to be completed or on an appointment, you can upload your proof of enrolment or proof of booking for your appointment to show that these items are in the process of being completed. 

We encourage registration as early as possible, but would like to note that if you are accepted and have paid your confirmation fee, you will be guaranteed a seat in your program’s classes even if you register after April 30th.

Important reminders

  • All supplemental items must be submitted no later than August 1st.Please send us an email if you have any questions.
  • YOU MUST BE REGISTERED BEFORE YOUR FIRST DAY OF CLASS – ACADEMIC CALENDAR.
