WELCOME

As a first year student you will make decisions about your course selection and your
choice of faculties, explore career options, and experience a wealth of co-curricular
activities to help you gain skills outside of the classroom.

With so many decisions, getting started may require some guidance–
and that’s why we are here.

The academic advising team in the First Year Centre offers academic advising and
student success resources to all first year students.

In an effort to support the transition to first year studies, we have designed this
First Year Planning Guide to help you through the course selection and registration
process in your first year.

COURSE PLANNING BASICS

As a new student, here is some basic information about courses to help your planning:

ÎÎ Courses are offered in two different terms during the Regular Session (September to April).
Fall Term, running from September to December
Winter Term, running from January to April

ÎÎ Each course has a credit hour value: usually either 3 or 6.
3 credit hour courses run over one term.
6 credit hour courses run over both terms and are called ‘spanned courses’.
You can take a maximum of five courses per term, which would give you 30 credit hours completed in one
Regular Session. This is considered to be a full course load.

You may take a range of courses from as few as 3 credit hours per term (1 course) to as many as 15 credit hours
per term (5 courses).

DETERMINE YOUR COURSE LOAD

Determining the number of courses you will take in your first year will be dependent upon many factors. Some
considerations include:

 yWohuarttaarrgeetthdeeagdrmeeisosriopnroregqraumire?ments or the first year courses for

ÎÎ If you are in University 1 and wish to qualify for admission to your intended degree program in the shortest
amount of time possible, you need to take at least an 80-100% course load (24-30 credit hours) in first year. Look
under the Admission Requirements from University 1 section for each program in this guide.

 Do you need to meet course load requirements to receive funding?

ÎÎ If you have been awarded a scholarship, student loan, or other type of funding it is important that you know
the course load amount necessary to meet your funding requirements.

ÎÎ Funding agencies such as Government Student Loans, Sponsorship Agencies, and University bursaries or
scholarships will likely have minimum course load requirements that stipulate the number of courses you
must take in a term or over the entire academic year (September to April).

ÎÎ Check out Financial Aid and Awards to find out more about the various funding options and their
requirements before you plan the number of courses you will take in first year.

 cDoouyrosuesn?eed to upgrade your high school prerequisites along with your university

ÎÎ Some university level courses may require the completion of Grade 12 level Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
and Physics.

ÎÎ If you did not complete these requirements in high school, you may take these courses as part of your
schedule at university or at an Adult Education Centre. See Upgrading Courses for complete details on
how to upgrade your high school courses.

ÎÎ Please note that these upgrading courses are not considered for university credit and will not count in your
overall course load total.

 Have you taken Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses?

ÎÎ If you completed AP or IB courses in high school, wrote the exams, and attained the minimum score, you
may be eligible for transfer credit to reduce your first year course load. Learn more about course equivalency
and minimum grades on the Admissions Office website.

ÎÎ Acceptance of AP or IB credit is not compulsory. If you decide that you want to transfer your credit, you must
claim your credit by submitting a form to Enrolment Services. This form can be found on the Admissions
Office website.

ÎÎ Contact an Academic Advisor in the First Year Centre if you are not sure whether or not you should transfer
your AP or IB credit.

 What other commitments do you have? November 1, 2017

ÎÎ Balancing your university courses with your co-curricular involvement, volunteering, sports, employment,
and family or social commitments will also be a factor in determining how many courses you should take.

CREATE YOUR TIMETABLE

After you decide which courses you want to take, you will need to create a timetable. There are a variety of times
in which you may schedule your classes, from morning to afternoon, and in some cases evening classes are
available.

There is no set schedule to follow. It is up to you to
make a schedule that best suits your lifestyle and
commitments.

In the Regular Session, classes are offered throughout
the week in various lecture and lab time periods.
ÎÎ Lecture periods are usually three hours a week, in general:

Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays (MWF)
50 minutes (10 minute break in between class times)
Tuesdays/Thursdays (TR)
75 minutes (15 minute break in between class times)
Evening classes
3 hours, once a week

ÎÎ Some classes also include a required lab component:

Labs for Science Courses
(e.g biology, chemistry, physics)
Generally 3 hours, once a week
Labs for Mathematics or Arts Courses
(e.g mathematics, languages)
Generally 1 hour, once a week

2 WRITE DOWN THE COURSES AND OPTIONS FOR WHEN THEY ARE OFFERED
Using the information from your search in the Class Schedule, write down your list of courses and the
options for when they are offered. For each course, note the subject and course number, and list the
sections available: be sure to include the Course Reference Number (CRN), section number, and the
days of the week and times the class is offered. If a course requires a lab section, note any restrictions
that are listed.

3 BUILD YOUR TIMETABLE THAT FITS ALL THE COURSES YOU WANT TO TAKE November 1, 2017
Plan your timetable by adding each course to the Timetable Planning Form. When building a timetable,
it is critical to prioritize your courses. 9

Prioritize:

ÎÎ Courses that are offered with the
least number of sections, as these
offer less flexibility and may fill up
more quickly

ÎÎ Courses that require both a lecture
and a lab section, as these can be
challenging to fit into a full timetable

ÎÎ Spanned courses, as these will take up
the same day and time in both fall
and winter terms

ÎÎ Required courses, as these are higher
priority than those you are choosing
as electives

 Be sure to plan (and register) for
both fall and winter term during
your initial registration time.

NEED SOME ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE?

Attend a Get Ready to Register Session offered by the First Year Centre.

REGISTER FOR CLASSES

By the time you are ready to register for courses, your timetable should be done and planning decisions made.

 REVIEW THE ONLINE REGISTRATION TUTORIALS

ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION CONSIDERATIONS

 HAVE AN ALTERNATE PLAN

ÎÎ You may need to include several options for lecture or lab sections in your timetable plan.

ÎÎ Use an alternate plan if you encounter:

• Full sections
• Waitlists
• Sections or space reserved for students enrolled in specific programs

 USE THE WAITLIST FUNCTION, IF AVAILABLE

ÎÎ Note that being added to a waitlist is not the same as being registered in the course.
You are not guaranteed space and should consider a different section or an alternate course.

ÎÎ Ensure you have activated your U of M email account to use the waitlist function.
ÎÎ For full details, see the online waitlist page.

 BMEAFKOERAEDTJHUESETNMDEONFTTSHTEORYEOGUIRSTRREAGTISIOTNRRATEIVOINSI,OANS PNEERCIEOSDSARY,

ÎÎ After you have registered, you are able to make revisions to your schedule any time up to the end of the
Registration Revision Period. The Registration Revision Period is the ‘add and drop’ period at the beginning
of each term during which course and timetable changes can be made without academic or financial
penalty. Courses dropped during this period are not recorded on official transcripts or student records, and a
tuition refund will be granted for dropped courses.

Remember to withdraw from courses you do not plan to attend. Non-payment of tuition fees 
for, and non-attendance at registered courses will not result in academic withdrawal.
Students are responsible for any outstanding balances, and unpaid fees may
result in holds, penalties, failing grades, and registration restrictions.

Note that after each term’s Registration Revision Period has ended, your registration is
considered final and only Voluntary Withdrawals (with no tuition refunds) are available.

Please review Withdrawal from Classes for further information.

ÎÎ Before contacting the First Year Centre / Academic Advisor:

• Read through the relevant sections of the First Year Planning Guide
• Review the Online Registration Tutorials
• Be prepared by thinking about your course choices

ÎÎ Make the most of your time by bringing a list of questions to ask, as well as any course or
timetable planning that you have done so far in the process.
