- Student Accessibility Services (SAS)
- Decoding course codes, prerequisites, and corequisites
- Searching for courses
- What to expect on your new student enrolment date (i.e., Thursdays versus Fridays)
- Transfer credits
- Degree requirements (e.g., program checklists, academic calendars, and the degree progress report, general education, science breadth, iBA and iBSc, etc.)
- Passport York (PPY)
- Preparing to enrol
Time to Enrol
Enrolment Demonstration
Please proceed only after you have successfully reviewed “Presentation 1: Before Enrolling.” It’s time to look at a brief demonstration on how to enroll.
Proceed to “Presentation 2: Enrolment Demo.” Then, use the information and resources below to enroll in your courses.
Important for Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Students: Do Not Use the Visual Schedule Builder (VSB)
If you plan to pursue Computer, Software, Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Space Engineering, do not use VSB. VSB instructions apply only to students in:
- Computer Science
- Cybersecurity
- Digital Media
- Earth and Atmospheric Science
BEng students, ignore all references to VSB.
Below are mock timetables generated in the Visual Schedule Builder, featuring the courses we recommend you complete this Summer.
Enrol in at least 9.00 credits in the Fall term and at least 9.00 credits in the Winter term to reach full-time status. If you are registered with Student Accessibility Services, enrol in at least 6.00 credits per term to reach full-time status.
“Year (Y)” courses run across both terms, with the credit value evenly divided between Fall and Winter. For example, a 6.00-credit Y-term course is split evenly across the academic year, with 3.00 credits in the Fall term and 3.00 credits in the Winter term.

A conflict-free starting point, built just for you.
We know course enrolment can feel overwhelming at first. To make it easier, the Lassonde School of Engineering Academic Advising team has prepared a conflict-free timetable for you in the Visual Schedule Builder. Use it as your starting point: explore your options, add your outside-major electives, and copy your selected catalogue numbers into the Registration and Enrolment Module.

For students who do not have transfer credit for any first year Engineering courses, consider the new Block Model Timetable:
Block model courses follow an innovative new scheduling format designed to support the unique structure of the program. Because of this, these courses will appear as conflicts in the “Class Schedule View” or “Plot My Timetable.” Please note that these are not actual scheduling conflicts, but simply a result of how the block model timetable is displayed in the system. If you are successfully enrolled in all 11 courses, your schedule is considered complete and conflict-free. Students will be able to access the specific dates, times, and locations for each course in written format throughout the year, even though these details will not appear accurately in the traditional weekly schedule view.
For students intending to pursue Computer, Electrical, or Software Engineering – Block Model Timetable:

Your Conflict-Free Engineering Timetable — Carefully Built for You
Enrolling in Engineering is different, and that’s a good thing.
Bachelor of Engineering students do not use the Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) tool.
Your program is highly specialized, coordinated, and space-managed to ensure you’re in the right lectures, labs, and tutorials with your cohort. Because of this, timetables are prepared in advance by the Lassonde School of Engineering.
You won’t be building your schedule from scratch and you won’t need to mix and match courses. Instead, you will choose from one of the conflict-free timetable options we’ve already created specifically for your intended pathway.
Each option is complete, coordinated, and ready for enrolment.
You will select from a timetable designed for:
1. Computer, Electrical, or Software Engineering
2. Civil, Mechanical, or Space Engineering
3. Mechatronics Engineering
To reveal your 6-digit catalogue numbers required to enrol, click on your desired major from the list above. These timetables are intentionally structured. Seats are reserved. Labs and tutorials are aligned. Cohorts are organized. Everything works together the way it should, so you can focus on starting strong.
What You Need to Do
1. Review the timetable options prepared for your intended stream.
2. Select one complete timetable option.
3. Copy the corresponding 6-digit catalogue numbers into the Registration and Enrolment Module.
4. Enrol.
Timetables cannot be mixed or combined, and individual components cannot be swapped across options. This coordinated approach ensures fairness, access to required components, and a smooth start for everyone.
Your schedule isn’t secured until you enrol through the Registration and Enrolment Module, so once you’ve selected your option, enrol as soon as your window opens.
We’ve done the complex coordination for you. Now you get to step confidently into Engineering knowing your schedule is structured, balanced, and built for success.
Transfer Credits? We’ve Got You Covered!
Do not add any courses you’ve already completed (from transfer credits). Add courses for which you may have already met the prerequisites and/or corequisites through transfer credits, ensuring you stay on track with your program! Check your Academic Advising notes for tips on which courses you still need to take.

General Education “Gen Ed” courses provide a broad perspective on current scholarship and the diversity of human experience. These courses are also expected to enhance students’ critical skills in reading, writing and thinking, and contribute to their preparation for post-university life. You have the option to complete your General Education credits whenever you choose, prior to graduation.
Where can I find the criteria for the BSc/iBSc Non-Science requirement or BA General Education requirement or BEng Complementary Studies requirement?
The list of eligible courses and subject areas are available for you in the “Faculty Rules > Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements” section of your Academic Calendar.
For your convenience, the following resources are also available:
BSc/iBSc: Approved BSc Non-Science Courses and Subject Areas
BEng: Approved BEng Complementary Studies Courses and Subject Areas
BA/iBA: Complete 6.00 credits in Humanities (AP/HUMA), 6.00 credits in Social Science (AP/SOSC), 6.00 credits in Natural Science (SC/NATS) and an additional 3.00 credits in either Humanities, Social Science, or Natural Science, for an overall total of 21.00 General Education credits.*
*BA Digital Media students:
– your 1900-series AMPD (FA) credits (not including FA/DATT 1900) count towards the Humanities requirement
– your CMDS and STS credits count towards the Social Science requirement

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, Cybersecurity, and Earth and Atmospheric Science students) or in your second year (for Digital Media and Engineering students).
