John Molson School of Business advising and registration information 2023-2024

Newly admitted undergraduate students

Common registration issues

• You should always register for all available terms as early as possible. Fall and Winter courses should be selected at the same time.
  
• When selecting courses, you must register for prerequisite or co-requisite courses before higher-level courses, especially when you choose to complete co-requisite courses in the same term.
  Example: you must register for COMM 320 before COMM 401, even if you choose to complete these two courses in the same term, because COMM 320 is a pre- or co-requisite for COMM 401. If you try to register for COMM 401 before COMM 320, the system will block you and show an error message telling you that you do not have the prerequisites completed.
  Example: you must complete COMM 217 before registering for COMM 305, however, you are permitted to register in COMM 217 (fall) and then register for COMM 305 in a following term (winter) because the system recognizes that the prerequisites are expected to be completed by the time you begin COMM 305.

Co-op students

Returning John Molson School of Business students

Students are urged to register for both Fall and Winter courses according to the registration start dates indicated in the Enrollment appointment dates for Fall and Winter. Start dates are also provided to students through the Student Hub.

Failure to register for both Fall and Winter terms as early as possible may result in an unfavourable schedule or in extreme cases the unavailability of required courses. No special arrangements will be made if you delay your registration.

Program Planning Worksheets for all undergraduate programs offered by the John Molson School of Business are available on the John Molson School of Business website. Program Planning Worksheets allow students to track their progress in their program and facilitate course selection for future registration.

Please visit Forms and Worksheets to print a copy of the worksheet for your specific John Molson School of Business program. You will not be able to proceed with your registration if you attempt to bypass any of the following academic regulations:

• register for courses prior to your registration start date;
• register for a course before completing the listed prerequisites;
• register for a course concurrently with the listed prerequisites;
• register for more than your allowed course load;
• register for a course that is restricted to specific Majors and/or Minors, other than your own.
  

Registration for Summer Courses
Due to limited course selection in the Summer terms, students may not be able to register for a full course load. Hence, you are strongly encouraged to register as early as possible. Please see the Enrollment appointment dates for Summer.

Non-business Students

Students not enrolled in a program offered by the John Molson School of Business may register for a maximum of 6 business credits per term for an overall total of 30 business credits.

NOTE: The 30 credits include failed courses. Priority for registration is given to current John Molson School of Business students over non-business students. As such, space may not be available for all non-business students wanting to register in specific business courses.
