Registration for 2012-2013 Fall and Winter Terms
Registration Period March 26 – June 1, 2012
Returning Students
Online registration for upcoming Fall (2012) and Winter (2013) courses begins Monday, March 26th. All returning undergraduate students will receive an e-mail from the Registrar’s Office on Monday, March 26 informing them of a designated date/time when they can access the system. At the designated time, registration will be available 24/7 until 4:30pm on Friday, June 1, 2012, when it will close until August 20, 2012. During that period, waitlists will be processed and students will be notified by email when they have permission to access registration due to a space openning in a waitlisted course.
How to Register:
- Visit Connect @ MTA;
- Enter your username and password (If you attempt to access the site prior to your access the date/time a page will display indicating when you can log in to register);
- Select your courses, see Step-by-Step guide for more information (Full-time students should register for 15 credits in each of the Fall 2012 and Winter 2013 terms);
- Confirm your registration choices on ‘My Class Schedule’;
- After you have registered you will receive an e-mail confirmation of your registration activity. You are responsible to ensure your registration is correct, as once registration closes on June 1 minor modifications will not be possible until registration reopens on August 20.
Why Early Registration is Encouraged
• Students have a better chance to get into the courses they want;
• Academic advising is available;
• You could win an iPad.
Will Registration be Reopened?
Course registration will reopen August 20 to allow students to make minor adjustments to their Fall and Winter schedules.
Registration Notes
| Pre-requisites – | Although registration opens before the end of the term and before final grades have been posted, students will be able to register for courses with pre-requisites based on courses still listed as ‘in progress’ for the Winter 2012 term. If you require permission to register for a course, contact the Department Head/Program Director or Co-ordinator prior to the close of registration on June 1st. If permission is granted, registrations will be processed by the Registration Helpdesk staff upon receipt of e-mail confirmation from the Department Head/Program Director or Co-ordinator. |
| Registration Overload – | Students will not be able to register in an overload (18 credits per term) until all final grades for the Winter 2012 term are recorded. Eligibility to overload will be determined based on the Winter Term GPA. For students with second and third-year standing, a Term GPA of 2.0 and CGPA of 1.5 is required to overload. For students with fourth-year standing, a Term GPA and CGPA of 1.5 is required to overload. |
| Preferred Section List – | If you have created a Preferred Section List, choose ‘Register’ from the drop-down menu at the top of the page. Do this independently for each course chosen and click ‘Submit’. It is not recommended that you use “Action for All Preferred Sections” as it may slow the system. |
| Registration Deposit – | All returning students must pay their $100 registration deposit by June 1st. For payment information visit www.mta.ca/administration/sas/payment.html. |
| Account Balances – | All account balances for the Fall 2011 and Winter 2012 academic year need to be cleared before students will be able to register. |
Registration During Final Exam Period
During the final exam period students will not have access at Connect @ MTA to grades, GPA, transcripts, and program evaluation, but they will be able to continue to register for courses.
