Helping you register for classes

This could be because the class is already in your course cart or you may have already enrolled in it. 

If this is not the case, you will need to speak to your department as you may not have been activated for registration.

If it has been more than 24 hours since you accepted your offer of admission AND paid your confirmation deposit fee then you will need to speak to your department to assist you further.

If you select the Account Inquiry link at the top of the Finances section, your tuition will be recalculated and updated to reflect the dropped course. Please note that certain fee calculations are only updated over the week-end and reflected on your student account the next Monday,

This is because some or all of the seats in the class are reserved for students in specific programs.  If you need the class for your program then you will need to speak to the department or your advisor.

To be an Independent student, you must apply and be accepted.
If you have not yet applied then you can visit: concordia.ca/apply

If you have applied, then refer to the letter you received for the contact information of your admissions officer.
(See Newly accepted & current independent students for more information.)

You should have received an email from eConcordia providing you with a link to sign up for your class. You can visit econcordia.com to register and view your classes. 

You can also contact eConcordia by email: helpdesk@econcordia.com or by phone: 514-848-8770

There may be a few reasons why you would receive this message.

You may be registered in some full-year courses. The credits for these are split equally between the Fall and Winter terms (for example, a 6-credit full year course would add 3 credits to your Fall load and 3 credits to your Winter load). 

It may also be that the classes in your course cart exceed your credit limit (when added to any classes you are already registered in) as the system will try to enroll you in all courses in your course cart.

If you have checked the above and are still receiving this message then you will need to speak to your department or advisor.

The system will not allow you to register for more credits than you have been assigned for the academic term or year. If you want to register in additional classes you will need to speak to your department or advisor.

You must ensure that you complete all of the necessary steps when registering for a class. Adding a class to your course cart DOES NOT mean that you are enrolled in it or that a seat is reserved for you. You must complete the enrollment process to be registered.

Courses in which you are successfully enrolled will appear in your schedule. 
(See the guide: How to register for a course)

For IN-PERSON classes, your class will be held in the room indicated on your Class Schedule. If the location is showing as TBA, a room has not been assigned yet. Check your Class Schedule if the location has been updated but if it has not been updated by the start of classes, then speak to your department for further information.

For Sections held REMOTELY, your professor will contact you by email or via Moodle to give you instructions. If you do not have access to this information by the first class meeting, then speak to your department for further information.

For eConcordia courses, you should have received an email from eConcordia providing you with a link to sign up for your class. You can visit econcordia.com to register and view your classes. You can also contact eConcordia by email at helpdesk@econcordia.com or by phone: 514-848-8770.

You should first check the Undergraduate or Graduate calendar to ensure you that you have met all required requisites for the class. If the course is prerequisite to other courses and you have completed a higher level course in the sequence since your last attempt, you may also receive this message.

If you have any concerns about why you have not met the requisites for the course, you should speak to your department.

If the error message you are getting is the same as previously then you will need to speak to the department or your advisor again to ensure they assigned the permission correctly.

If the message is different, then you can refer to the Errors or messages You Might Encounter section below for more information.

If you are currently registered in a class that is a pre-requisite for a class you are trying to enroll in for a future term, you may receive the ‘requisites have not been met’ message.

You will need to speak to your department or advisor. 

The permission the department granted for registration is a one-time use. If you used the permission to register for the class but then dropped it, you will need to speak to the department again.

Yes, you can switch sections of the same class or even switch from one class to a different class using the SWAP feature.

(See the guide: How to swap a course)

You can simply remove your name from the waitlisted class and this will cancel the swap.

If the swap has been completed, so that you have been dropped from your original class and registered in the new class, then you are unable to undo this registration action. 

If you used the SWAP feature to identify a course to drop, in order to place yourself on the waitlist for a preferred class, then you can remove your name from the waitlisted class and this will cancel the swap. This will only work if you are still on the waitlist and have not been automatically enrolled into the course.

If you are swapping to a different laboratory, tutorial or conference that is currently OPEN, then you will be able to use the SWAP feature. 

You cannot currently use the SWAP feature if your preferred laboratory, tutorial or conference is on a WAITLIST.

Should you use the SWAP feature to switch to a waitlisted section, you will be dropped from your current lab, tutorial or conference to be placed on the waitlist of your preferred section.

(See the guide: How to swap a course)

Enrollment from a waitlist is not guaranteed. You will only be enrolled if enough seats become available in the class. If you are successful, then you will receive an automated email advising you that you have been registered in the class.

You should ensure that when you view your Class Schedule in the List View, you have the filters set to show your waitlisted classes.

If a hold has been assigned to your account after you have placed your name on a waitlist (such as a hold for Outstanding Balance), you may be removed from the waitlist. Once you have resolved the reason for the hold, you can choose to put yourself back on the waitlist, however, you will lose your original position.

(See the guide: How to view the holds (restrictions) on your account)

If you are on the waitlist, you are not officially enrolled in the class. 

You will not be credited or enrolled in the class even if you attend unless a seat becomes available and you are officially registered before the registration deadlines for the term.

You can drop the course the same way that you usually would – see the How to Drop a Course guide in the Registration Section of the Student Hub.

The process that automatically enrolls students from waitlists is turned off at 4 p.m. on the Did Not Enter (DNE) deadline for a term. This is to ensure that you have enough time before the deadline to drop a course you were enrolled into from a waitlist if you have changed your mind.

You should keep track of those courses that you are on the waitlist for and remove yourself from the waitlist if you no longer want to be in the course. You can remove yourself from the waitlist the same way you would drop a course. You can view your waitlisted courses in your Class Schedule (List View).

You can see your waitlisted classes in your Class Schedule (List View). 

You can view your waitlist position in your Class Schedule. Ensure that you change the display to List View. 

This could be because the spaces which have become available are reserved for students in specific programs. If you do not meet those program requirements you will not be enrolled. You will only be enrolled if a seat for non-program students becomes available.

This could also be because you have a full course load. If you are already enrolled in your maximum allowable credits, you will not be enrolled from the waitlist. To prevent this, you must put yourself on a waitlist using the SWAP feature. This allows you to identify which course you would like to be dropped from should a seat become available in the class you are waitlisted for.

If you did not use the SWAP feature when placing yourself on the waitlist for your preferred lecture section, this will not work. You will not be automatically enrolled in the waitlisted section of the class because you are already in another section of the same lecture. You cannot be enrolled into a course multiple times.

(See the guide: How to swap a course)

Departments can manually change a student’s position on the waitlist if necessary. This can be for a variety of reasons, including moving a student higher on the waitlist if they require the class in order to graduate. If you have any concerns about a waitlist position which has changed, you should speak to your department.

If a class is displayed as Closed, this means the course is full and either there is not a waitlist offered or the waitlist capacity has been reached. In these cases you would not be able to put your name on the waitlist unless a seat becomes available on it.

If you did not use the SWAP feature when you put yourself on the waitlist for the preferred class, then unfortunately you are unable to go back and indicate which class you would like to drop if a seat becomes available in the waitlisted class. 

You would need to remove your name from the waitlist for your preferred class and then use the SWAP feature to put yourself back onto the waitlist. Please be aware you will lose your current place on the waitlist by doing so.
