Congratulations on your offer of admission!

Celebrate by moving to the next level. Your Lassonde journey starts now. Here are your next steps to prepare for life at Lassonde!


How to Prepare

It is essential that you create your Passport York (PPY) Account so that you can enrol in courses. You will use this account to access all online services at York University including the computer labs at York University. This step includes setting up your 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) via the Duo Mobile app. When prompted to setup your 2FA, you must setup using a mobile number. Do not use biometrics such as fingerprint or facial recognition.
If you had accommodations at your previous institution (high school, college or university) or require accommodations now, register with Student Accessibility Services today for your accommodations at York University. You can register after accepting your offer of Admission. Registration with Student Accessibility Services will not be identified on official records, academic transcripts, or graduation documentation.
International Students, payment of your $1500.00 CDN acceptance deposit is required to enrol in courses. If you have been approved for domestic fees, the deposit is $300.00 CDN.

Payment must be received at least 2 days PRIOR to your enrolment date.

Step-by-step instructions for how to pay are available for you on the Student Financial Services website.
Students with an English Proficiency condition of admission must satisfy this condition to enrol in courses. If you need more time to satisfy your English Proficiency condition of admission, please revisit your MyFile and re-schedule your enrolment for a future date.

If you have any questions or concerns about your admission conditions, connect with Lassonde Admissions.

In-person or via E-mail

If you are registered for an appointment occurring on a THURSDAY:

1. We will e-mail you your new student enrolment package at approximately 10am EDT on the date you selected.
2. You are not required to be anywhere in-person or online. Simply check your e-mail.

If you are registered for an appointment occurring on a FRIDAY:

1. These sessions occur in-person on the Keele Campus at York University.
2. Location details are specified in your MyFile account.

What to Expect

Students who live far from York University will receive their enrolment package via e-mail. On the Thursday you’ve selected in your MyFile, you will receive a customized enrolment package via email from our Academic Advising team. You do not have to attend a physical appointment to enrol in your courses. Simply check your e-mail.

We recommend that you set aside some time (approximately 2 hours) to review all the material in your customized enrolment package. You will be guided through a series of videos called e-tutorials to learn more about the Lassonde School of Engineering, York University, how to enrol in courses, and actions you can take to prepare for the start of the term. You can enrol in your courses at your own pace on the day you receive your e-mail. We look forward to meeting you in-person at various events occurring throughout the Summer and Fall/Winter terms!

Please check your junk/spam folders, as our mail often gets filtered. To avoid delays, add us to your safe contact list (ask@lassonde.yorku.ca).

Which e-mail address will we send your customized new student enrolment package to? The e-mail address you have listed in your Current Student Personal Information portal.

If you are unsure if you have registered for an appointment of this type, refer to the “Is your Enrolment Appointment In-person or via E-mail?” section above.
Students who are relatively local to York University participate in an in-person new student enrolment appointment. Plan to arrive early, especially if it is your first time visiting the campus. During your in-person appointment, you will learn more about the Lassonde School of Engineering, York University, how to enrol in courses, and actions you can take to prepare for the start of the term. You will also meet members of our Academic Advising and Student Engagement teams, other new students, and current York University students as well. All in all, this is a great opportunity to meet new people and get your questions answered on the spot.

We will enrol in one of the York University computer labs, but feel free to bring your personal laptop so you can bookmark important web sites highlighted in the session.

We know this is such an exciting time for not just you, but your family and supporters as well! While in-person appointments are for incoming students only, we have some wonderful opportunities for your family and supporters. Explore the Parent & Supporters Website today!

If you are unsure if you have registered for an appointment of this type, refer to the “Is your Enrolment Appointment In-person or via E-mail?” section above.
If you are visiting the Keele campus in-person for the first time, there are a number of transportation and parking options.

If you are commuting via public transit, check out your options on York University’s Transportation Services website.

Download the Honk Mobile App in advance to make paying for parking a little easier on the day of your appointment.

If you are unsure if you have registered for an in-person appointment or via e-mail, refer to the “Is your Enrolment Appointment In-person or via E-mail?” section above.
Our goal is to answer any and all questions you may have on the day of your appointment. Whether you are registered for an in-person appointment or are receiving your enrolment package via e-mail, our team is here to support you.

After your appointment, you can expect the following:
