When your course enrolment start time begins on ACORN, you should enrol in all of your desired courses (ideally) when your start time begins, or shortly thereafter as courses fill up quickly. You can continue to make changes before classes begin without financial penalty. Determine how many courses you are eligible to take, and make a list of back up courses in case your first choices have no spaces available.
You will find program and course descriptions to help you with your selection.
Once you identify the courses you wish to take, search them in the Timetable to see when they are offered. As you build your schedule for the upcoming semester, the Timetable will help you ensure that you do not have any conflicts (i.e., do not enrol in courses that are offered at the same time).

1st Year = 3.5 credits or fewer
2nd Year = 4.0 – 8.5 credits
3rd Year = 9.0 – 13.5 credits
4th Year = 14.0 + credits
