Revision Period (Add and Drop period)
The registration revision period is considered the 'add and drop' period, where you can make changes to your course or timetable without academic or financial penalty. Courses dropped during this
period are not recorded on official transcripts or student records, and tuition charges will be reversed for dropped courses.
During the registration revision period, you can:
-
Add a new class if you changed your mind about your course subjects, or if a course that was previously full is now available.
-
Register in a course for which you were waitlisted if you receive notification that space is available.
-
Update your residency status in your Aurora account and receive a fee adjustment.*
Once the registration revision period ends, you can still Voluntarily Withdraw from a class, however, it will be recorded on your transcript, and you will not receive a tuition refund.
You can view the Fall and Winter Term dates and revision periods on the
Important Dates and Deadlines page.
* If you have recently become a Permanent Resident, or Canadian Citizen, then you can update your residency
status and pay domestic tuition fees. Status updates received after the revision period will be accepted, but your fees will not be adjusted until the start of the next term. To update your status, please email the
Registrar’s Office.
Registration Permissions
If you need permission to register for a course,
contact your advising office before your registration time to avoid registration errors and delays. This
includes getting permission to register in mutually exclusive courses (mutually exclusive courses are courses that have overlapping content and CANNOT be held with one another). Contact your advising office if you plan to register in a course that is mutually
exclusive to a course you already attempted. You will need permission even if you failed the course.
Some courses will have a Waitlist, allowing students to add themselves to the waitlist and be notified when a space becomes available.
Notifications are delivered only to UM email addresses. Be sure to
keep your email account active and check your email often!
You should know that you will not be able to:
-
register in a course and go on a waitlist for other section(s) of the same course
-
go on a waitlist for a course that has a time conflict with a course you are already registered in.
You must choose whether to register or go on a waitlist.
