The steps to Add courses after the registration deadline is as follows:

  • Below the "Add/Drop Classes" tab, select 'Late Adjustment to Registration with Penalty'.
  • Additional instructions will be provided including the timeframe for access, charges to your account and payment options.
  • Accept the terms and conditions and submit the application  Be sure to accept the terms once as multiple clicks may result in multiple billing of the late fine amount.
  • Once submitted, access will be allowed to register
  • Add the course to your record
  • Once the course has been added, a notice summarizing the transaction will be sent to your email.

Points to note regarding late registration

  • Only students in good financial standing will be able to add course(s)
  • Student must review the courses needed to add/drop before they agree to the terms on the system as multiple agreements will result in multiple billing of the late fine amount.
  • Students will have access to add courses automatically after acceptance of the terms and conditions.
  • Students MUST add courses to their registration within the specified period as the penalty fee paid and access granted is specific to this period.
  • Normal registration rules apply (e.g., pre-requisite, quota restrictions etc.).  Access to the system does not guarantee that a student will be able to add a course if the criteria are not met.
  • Students can request an override if course criteria are not met and MUST review their records on the system to determine if approval was granted.
  • Where the course(s) added results in additional tuition charges, the student must pay the additional fees.
