Course Intentions
Course Intention Period: This is a mandatory process taking place in March, where returning students complete their course selections for the next academic year.
Course Intention Adjustment Periods are available for the upcoming fall and winter terms in May (after the release of winter term grades), and for the upcoming winter term in September (during the fall term Open Enrolment Period). During the Course Intention Adjustment Periods, returning students may need to adjust their course intentions for the upcoming terms after receiving their final term grades or selecting courses.
New students who have applied to OSAP (see OSAP Students section below) or who require a Proof of Enrolment Letter, may need to adjust their winter term course intentions to reflect the accurate course course load.
Visit Course Intentions or the Significant Dates in the Undergraduate Calendar to confirm the exact dates for the current academic year.
