Undergraduate Student Services Academic Advising

As classes may fill up quickly, we strongly recommend that students register in classes as soon as their enrolment date is open for the term.

In the event that a class you wish to enrol in is full, be sure to put the class on your Watch List in Bear Tracks. Seat availability in classes will change over the months leading up to classes starting: teaching departments may open additional seats or sections to meet demand and they normally use the Watch List to monitor student demand.

Students who have added classes to their Watch List will be notified when seat(s) become available. For information on how to set up Watch List Notification Preferences and how to enroll when a spot becomes available, visit the Registrar's Office Bear Tracks Help page.

IMPORTANT: If the class you are trying to register in is a core class for your program and you are registering in the correct term according to your program planner, please email enggadvising@ualberta.ca for assistance.

Registration restrictions are in place to ensure:

1. priority registration for specific groups of students; and/or
2. that course prerequisites or corequisites have been met.

Please consult the class notes in Bear Tracks for information on registration specific to your classes.

Class notes contain important information about the class as well as restrictions such as prerequisite/corequisite courses and registration dates for different student groups. 

To view the class notes for a course, click on the green clipboard icon beside the class section. Note: not all class sections will have course notes. 

The Faculty of Engineering has compiled useful information and resources to help you make an informed decision about which program to choose.
