Register in Courses
First Step
You will first need to accept your admission offer and pay the tuition deposit before you can register in courses.
When to Register
You can begin registering in courses on or after your enrolment appointment date, which can be found in Bear Tracks under Manage Classes > My Enrollment Date. In the meantime, once the course listing has been released, you can build a draft schedule.
Building a draft schedule before course registration allows you to search for classes and build a schedule that works in advance. It will also allow you to quickly register in the courses you want on or after your enrollment date.

Engineering students are registered in their first-year courses by the faculty, so you don't have to worry about which courses to pick! Once you've accepted your offer of admission, the Engineering program will send an electronic consent form to your UAlberta email for you to complete and submit to be registered in courses.
