Step 1: Preparation

Step 2: Select your courses

Memorial has a learning management system, Desire2Learn, for all distance students and on-campus students who have registered for a course that will feature a web-based component. During the first week of the semester, each course outline will tell you if the course has a web component. Increasingly, courses delivered on campus will supplement face-to-face teaching with web-based tools to share course notes, have discussion forums, etc. To access your course, visit the DELTS website and click on the "Log On To Your Web Course" link.  If you need help on campus to set up your account, you can visit the Commons in the QEll Library.  If you need help off campus to set up your account, you can contact DELTS Technical Support at 1 888 435 1396 (toll free) 

ACCS
This heading indicates whether the course is available for registration using Memorial Self-Service and how requests to drop and add the course will be accommodated. There are two columns under this heading; the first refers to the time period before the deactivation of wait lists; the second refers to the period after wait lists are deactivated, December 27. The following table outlines the various values:

If you wish to register in a course for which a prerequisite or co-requisite exists, and if you do not meet the requirement, you should contact the appropriate department head to request a waiver before your assigned time of registration. In most cases the department head will be able to process the request after which you will be able to register for the course. If the academic unit cannot process the waiver a signed prerequisite waiver form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar before you will be able to register for the course. You must conduct the registration yourself.

CRED HR and BILL HR
These headings are not applicable to graduate students but are included for the benefit of any undergraduate students who may be taking graduate courses.

INSTRUCTOR
This heading refers to the instructor(s) assigned to teaching the course section, as of the time of publication. Check with Memorial Self-Service for the most up-to-date information or with individual academic units for instructors not listed.

RESERVED SEATING
Priority in registration in many courses will be given to students who are enrolled in a program of study on the basis of major. This will be indicated on the line below the course listing. For example under SOCI 6150 you will see:
RESERVED FOR: MAJOR SOCI
This means that students who have declared majors in SOCI will be given priority in registering for this course. Please refer to the reserve code table for possible reserve entries. Please note that reserves may vary according to course section. You should check all sections of a course to determine if you are eligible to register for it.
