Student Connect

Student Connect is the Office of the Registrar's student service centre, and provides one point of contact for students seeking information and services.

While Student Connect is not able to take in-person inquiries or phone calls at this time, we are working hard to support you remotely. We'd encourage you to check out our FAQ page for important updates, and use the Student Connect Contact Form if you still have questions.

  • Registration for Fall 2020

    If you have accepted your offer of admission for Fall 2020 by filling out the "Reply to offer of admission" form on your Launchpad status page and have paid the tuition deposit (if required), please note that once your payment is received in BearTracks, it can take 3-4 business days for the payment to be applied to your account and for your registration to be activated. If your payment was received and is reflected on your BearTracks account for over 3-4 business days, please fill out the Contact Form, and our advisors will assist you further.

    Registration for Fall 2020 for new students opens on April 1, but you have until mid-September to choose and enroll in your classes. See here for more information about registration.
