We’ve simplified the process. We’ve provided you with 11 courses and 11 course catalogue numbers, or fewer if you have transfer credit. Simply copy and paste the catalogue numbers we’ve provided into the Registration and Enrolment Module (REM).

“Can I change my timetable?”

You can start adjusting your timetable August 21, 2024, prior to the start of classes.

If you require a religious accommodation, you may e-mail Daniella Primi, Enrolment Coordinator, today for assistance (daniella.primi@lassonde.yorku.ca).

We want to support you as you continue to strengthen your English language skills. York University offers a wide array of English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. Many ESL courses can also be counted towards the General Education requirement.

For incoming students with an ESL background, we recommend completion of one or more of the following:

6.00 ESL1000/HUMA1220 Canadian Language and Culture or 6.00 ESL1450/HUMA1745 Thinking about Contemporary Canada

6.00 ESL1200 Society and Culture

3.00 ESL1010 Advancing Academic Reading and Writing

3.00 ESL1015 Advancing Oral Communication

All courses listed above are General Education courses.

To request permission to enrol into one of the above ESL courses, please complete and submit the ESL Course Permission Request Form.
Refer to your program checklist. Typically, there are 10 to 11 courses in the first year (30.00 to 36.00 credits) depending on your program.

If you need or want a lighter course load, this is OK. Full-time status is defined as a minimum of 9.00 credits in the Fall and 9.00 credits in the Winter. If you are registered with Student Accessibility Services, the minimum is 6.00 in the Fall and 6.00 in the Winter.

Keep in mind, a lighter course load may lengthen your graduation timeline.
After enrolling via the Registration and Enrolment Module, review your official timetable also known as your Class Schedule View.

Ensure there are no course conflicts and that you adhere to prerequisite and corequisite sequences.

First year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) students in the “block” model, your timetable is available here.
There are three possible reasons for a REM block:

1. Your offer of admission is conditional on receipt of your proof of English language proficiency. When your proof of English language proficiency has been received by Admissions, your REM block will be removed. For questions, contact Admissions.

2. You are an International Student and have not paid the $1500.00 CDN acceptance deposit. If you have been approved for domestic fees, the deposit is $300.00 CDN. When your deposit has been received by the Office of the University Registrar, your REM block will be removed. For questions, contact the Office of the University Registrar.

3. You are attempting to enrol prior to the enrolment time referenced in your MyFile account. Please ensure you follow the guidance available in your MyFile account (“Book/Manage My Enrolment Appointment…”).

Need to Know Before You Go

Congratulations on your achievements so far today!

At this point, we expect that you have received your new student enrolment package via e-mail, reviewed carefully and in full our enrolment and advising presentations (“Before Enrolling”, “Enrolment Demo”, and “After Enrolling”), and you have successfully enrolled in your first year courses. Excellent!

As you conclude your enrolment experience today, take some time to review the below items. You may find the below information and resources helpful today or in the future:

Classes start Wednesday September 4, 2024.

Refer to your official timetable also known as your Class Schedule View. On Wednesday September 4 attend the lectures, labs, and tutorials corresponding to the “Wednesday” on your timetable.

It will take some time to learn York’s building acronyms and navigate your way around the campus. Bookmark the Keele Campus map to help make it easier to find your lectures, labs, and tutorials.
Log in to your MyFile account. Review your offer of admission letter. Ensure that you have satisfied or are on track to satisfy all of your admission conditions.

If you have any questions or concerns about your conditions, contact an Admissions Expert:

York University Admissions (study@yorku.ca)
Lassonde Admissions and Recruitment (ask@lassondeschool.com)
Review the details for all of your courses via the York Courses website. Ensure you are adhering to all prerequisite and corequisite sequences.
Your official degree requirements can be found in the Academic Calendar. Students follow the academic calendar associated with the year they started their major.

Additional helpful tools are available to help you learn more about your degree requirements:

1. Program checklists identify which courses should be taken in which year level. From time to time, program checklists may be updated. The most up to date version of all program checklists will be available via the Academic Support section of the Lassonde Student Life website.

2. The Degree Progress Report (DPR) is a helpful tool identifying which degree requirements are satisfied, potentially satisfied, or not yet satisfied. Students must be in a declared major or stream in order to use the DPR.

If you are a transfer credit student, your transfer credits will be coded into your DPR in your first term (for Computer Science, Computer Security, and Earth and Atmospheric Science students) or in your second year (for Digital Media and Engineering students).
Every effort is made in the Lassonde School of Engineering to ensure that each student receives academic advice and sufficient information to guide them in course selection and program choice. Within this context, student responsibilities include but are not limited to:

– ensuring that the courses chosen meet all program and degree requirements for graduation;

– verifying the accuracy of registration records, including all course changes;

– fulfilling the requirements, including course pre-/co-requisite requirements, and being aware of academic progress in their program of study and in all registered courses; attending class and submitting all required course work;

– understanding and adhering to the Senate Policy on Academic Honesty, the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, as well as other relevant Senate Policies;

– noting and abiding by the sessional deadline dates published on the Important Dates webpage each year, especially course add/drop/withdrawal and refund deadline dates;

– creating a conflict-free timetable.
You may have questions before, during, or after receiving your package – this is OK and common. Our team of Academic Advisors can help: 
 
Virtually: Tuesdays from 11am – 12pm EDT in our Virtual Student Advising Zoom Room
