Registration is divided into registration blocks called time-tickets. Your time-ticket indicates when you can first access the registration system. Before your registration time-ticket begins, plan out the courses you need to satisfy your degree requirements. Because requirements for the Major, Minor and Concentration vary by department, please refer to the full description found in the Undergraduate Calendar in the . It is recommended that you have an alternate course selection list available in the event that some courses are full.

Students are assigned time-tickets for registration according to (a) year standing (according to the number of credits completed with passing grades and counting towards the degree; this does not necessarily mean the number of years you have been enrolled at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´), and (b) the last two digits of their student number. Once a time-ticket has activated for registration, it will remain active until the last day to register according to the dates listed on the Dates & Deadlines listing. If you are not able to register when your time-ticket activates, do so as soon as you are able.

Please note: the Department of Law and Legal Studies is not able to adjust time-tickets. If you have a concern regarding your year standing please contact the University Registrar’s Office for their advice.

For students registered in Summer Session courses, please contact the  for information on year standing and how it affects your Fall/Winter registration time-ticket.

Your registration into a LAWS course will depend on the following factors:

• Your time-ticket according to the University schedule
• You have the necessary year standing for the course you are attempting to register into
• You have completed any necessary course prerequisites indicated in the course descriptions found in the . Course descriptions will also appear as you submit your registration on
• There is space available in the course you are attempting to register into

A registration waitlist is a queue of students who are waiting to register for a filled section of a course. The first student on the waitlist is notified via email when a space becomes available.

Please note: If the student does not register for the section within 24 hours the next student on the list will be notified.

Also note:

• Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a space in the class.
• In order to be able to join a waitlist, you must meet the course prerequisites and restrictions.

Students who attempt to register in courses that are full, that don’t have a wait-list, or that have a full waitlist, and have met the requirements for the course are requested to monitor ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Central for space to open up if someone withdraws from the class.

Please note: the Department of Law and Legal Studies does not provide overrides into courses that are full.

Students seeking permission to register in a course for which they lack the prerequisites or year-standing may submit a request on-line via the “Registration Error Override Request” feature on the “Add or Drop Classes” page on .

Access to the “Registration Error Override Request” is based on your registration time-ticket. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee space in courses. You may only submit one request per course. If you have non-ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ equivalents for prerequisite courses you will be required to provide supporting documentation (i.e., transcripts and/or course descriptions for evaluation purposes).

Requests to be assigned to specific course sections and/or discussion groups will be granted if possible. Requests may be denied due to capacity limitations. Space will not be provided to courses that are full. If your request for a specific discussion group cannot be granted you may be assigned to a different group.

Until all time-tickets have activated, year standing override requests will not be processed for third and fourth-year LAWS courses. After all students have had a chance to register, the department will begin to process year-standing override requests for third and fourth year courses.

Important: Please do not contact the department or the instructor of the course for updates on the status of your request. You will be able to view the status or result of your request on ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Central.ÌýWe aspire to respond to override requests within 3-5 business days.Ìý

Our response to any email requests will be made via your ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ email account only, and email requests must include your student number.ÌýEmail received from Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc., will not receive a reply.

The Degree Audit Report is a dynamic report that is continuously updated as grades become available or registration activity occurs. This unofficial document will aid you in making choices regarding course selection for upcoming registrations and will let you check to see how you are progressing towards graduation. While the University makes every effort to make your Degree Audit Report as accurate as possible, it is your responsibility to review your Degree Audit Report carefully to ensure you satisfy published requirements using the University’s Undergraduate Calendar. Requirements will not be waived based on Degree Audit Report discrepancies.

All current undergraduate students are able to view their Degree Audit Report online through .

presented at graduation, students in both the B.A. and the B.A. Honours degrees are required to include 3.0 breadth credits, including 1.0 credit from each of three of the four Breadth Areas. Credits that fulfill requirements in the Major, Minor, Concentration or Specialization may be used to fulfill the .

Students admitted with a completed university degree are exempt from breadth requirements.

A directed study may consist of one of two options:

• An Honours paper, written during a student’s final year under the supervision of a faculty member of the Department of Law and Legal Studies. The Honours Paper is evaluated by both the supervisor and a second reader. Students intending to proceed to graduate studies are encouraged to complete an Honours paper.
• A tutorial, or reading course on selected topics in which seminars are not available.

If you are thinking of doing a directed study, you should read the FAQ for the Tutorial or Honours Research Essay option, and have your supervisor sign the forms so that we can grant you access to the course.

The requirement for registration into 3000- and 4000-level LAWS courses are as follows:

• 3000-level courses: third-year standing and completed prerequisites as stated in the course description
• 4000-level courses: fourth-year Honours standing and completed prerequisites as stated in the course description

Students with completed prerequisites will have priority over students lacking prerequisites.

Students who have completed course prerequisites and need a specific course to complete a degree requirement for graduation will be given priority over students wanting a course as an elective. Requests may be denied due to capacity limitations.

Graduate students (Legal Studies and other disciplines) will not have access to LAWS 4000-level course registration until all undergraduate students have had the chance to register.

MA Legal Studies students must obtain permission from the Law Graduate Supervisor for any 4000 level courses to be eligible for use towards the completion of the MA Legal Studies degree requirements.  MA students considering registration in 4000 level courses must email the Graduate Supervisor from their ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University email accounts and include the course name, code, a brief description of the course, and a brief explanation of how this course would fit into their area of research.  If the Graduate Supervisor grants permission, students would then need to submit a CROS request via ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Central and may also need to obtain permission from the instructor of that 4000 level course.
