Orientation Week

Use the Handbook to identify the subjects you will take to meet your course requirements and academic goals. If you are an undergraduate student, we encourage you to explore the interactive My Course Planner tool to understand your course rules, subject requisites, elective, and breadth options.

From there, you can enrol into your subjects via your Study Plan. Enrolling in a subject means that you are officially admitted to study that subject.

Need any assistance with the process? Support is available via Stop 1.
