Advising, forms & support
If you are a newly admitted undergraduate student:
You must attend one (1) online orientation session or watch the online orientation video before being allowed to register for your courses. You must also accept your offer of admission and pay the confirmation fee in your Student Centre. Course registration for new students admitted for September 2021 will open on April 20, assuming that all advising and admission requirements have been met.
If you cannot attend an online orientation session and choose to watch the orientation video instead, follow this link and make sure to fill out the form with your name and student ID once you are done.

Instructions for the orientation session: please read carefully
- Register for a session via this link
- Familiarize yourself with the Undergraduate Program Calendar and the Class Schedule before the session. We also encourage you to download your program's Degree requirements fillable form available on this page.
- Have your e-mail of acceptance (offer of admission) at hand, as we will refer to some of its content during the session. You may also review this document for more information about understanding your offer of admission.
- Kindly note that the department may cancel sessions that will have too few participants. You will be notified if this happens.
An advisor from the Department of Economics will go through various academic regulations related to your program. The session will last approximately one hour. You can download the presentation to review it during the presentation or later.
The Undergraduate Program Assistant will unblock you once you have attended the online orientation session or watched the video (please expect a 48-hour delay before you get unblocked). You will then be able to first access your course cart, then register to your September and January courses on and after April 20, 2021.
