Step By Step
Step 1: Organize your registration material
1. Current Memorial Calendar - available online, at the bookstore and Cashier's Office (St. John's), or the bookstore at Grenfell Campus at a cost of $5. (A university Calendar will be supplied free to students newly admitted to the university.)
2. Access to the Internet.
In addition, you may need:
3. The Guide to First Year, available online, if you are a first-year student.
4. Information on Distance Education Courses, at the Distance Education, Learning and Teaching Support (DELTS) website, for vital information regarding distance courses which are offered online.
5. Course Load Waiver - If you wish to register in more than the normal course load of 15 credit hours, and your academic program regulations do not require a course load of more than 15 credit hours, you will require the written permission of the dean/director of your faculty/school. In the case of Grenfell Campus, the permission of the division head is required. In most cases, the dean/director/division head will be able to process the request him/herself. A signed Request for Waiver of Course Load Form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar before you will be permitted to register in all your courses. Once the Office of the Registrar has been notified of the required permission, you will be able to register for more than the normal course load.
6. Prerequisite/Corequisite Waiver.
Step 2: Seek academic advice
If you have attended Memorial in the past and have declared a major, contact your departmental adviser or the department head/co-ordinator of your major if you need advice on course selection. Consult the directory for campus addresses and telephone numbers. If you have not declared a major, or if you wish to change your academic program, contact the Academic Advising Centre in St. John's or the Office of the Registrar at Grenfell Campus.
Step 3: Select your courses

Under this heading appears the course subject, course number and course title. The course subject is a three- or four- character abbreviation of the subject area.
Each section or offering of a course has a three-digit section number associated with it.
Under this heading, each course will be identified by a five-digit course reference number that must be used when registering by Memorial Self-Service. This number has no inherent significance and may change for each course from semester to semester.
Most course sections have been assigned a specific time slot in which the class will meet. These are indicated on the class schedule as well as on the timetables.
The days of the week are abbreviated as:
| M - Monday | F - Friday |
| T - Tuesday | S - Saturday |
| W - Wednesday | U - Sunday |
| R - Thursday |
BEG TIME refers to the starting time of the course section following the 24-hour clock;
END TIME refers to the time the section finishes meeting.
This refers to the building and room where the course section will meet. If you are unfamiliar with any of Memorial's building abbreviations, check out our list of building code abbreviations.
This column refers to the activity associated with the course section and will be one of the following:
| LEC | Lecture | LAB | Laboratory |
| INT | Internship | WRK | Work Term |
| IND | Independent Study Course | SEM | Seminar |
| WWW | World Wide Web | STD | Studio |
| L&L | Both Lecture and laboratory | D/E | Distance Education |
| SAL | Software Application Lab | HES | Honours Essay |
| CEX | Comprehensive Exam | ENS | Ensemble |
| CLI | Clinical | DST | Dissertation |
| PSI | Personalized System of Instruction | C&L | Both clinical and laboratory |
Distance Education Course Information Letters and notification of term tests and final exam dates, times and locations are available through the Distance Education menu in Memorial Self-Service This information is not mailed to students. You are advised to visit the Distance Education section of Memorial Self-Service immediately upon registration for essential course information, and periodically throughout the semester for information on exams.
ASSOC LAB/LEC SECT (Associated Laboratory/Lecture Sections)
Course sections with schedule type, L&L - both lecture and laboratory, will have the laboratory and lecture combined. For example, Biology 1001, section 001 lists meeting times of 1200-1250 on M,W,F and 1400-1659 on M where the three-hour time block refers to the laboratory.
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 list are deactivated, December 27. The following table shows the possible values:
|
Code
|
Meaning
|
|
Y
|
Adding and dropping permitted using Memorial Self-Service
|
|
A
|
Adding permitted but not dropping using Memorial Self-Service
|
|
D
|
Dropping permitted but not adding using Memorial Self-Service
|
|
N
|
Neither adding nor dropping permitted using Memorial Self-Service. All registration is through course change form.
|
This heading indicates whether you can wait-list a course section if the enrolment limit has been reached or if the course section is reserved. A "Y" under this heading indicates a wait list is available. "N" means no wait list is available. If a course is reserved and if reserves are to be lifted, a reserve wait list and a general wait list are maintained. Memorial Self-Service will inform you of your position on both wait lists when you try to add such courses before reserves are lifted. The following scenario illustrates how the wait list feature works:
- You are a Biology major, trying to register for Chemistry 2440. Memorial Self-Service gives your reserve wait list position as number one and your general wait list position as number ten. Before reserves are lifted, you will become registered if one Biology major drops the course. After reserves are lifted, on November 22, ten students must drop the course before you will become registered.
Some academic units have placed limits on the lengths of wait lists. Therefore, if a wait list for a particular course section is full, you will not be permitted to wait list for the course.
A "Y" value under this heading indicates that the department has requested that all prerequisites and/or co-requisites listed in the university Calendar be enforced.
A prerequisite course is a required course that must be successfully completed before you begin classes in another course. For example, in order to register in Biology 1002, you are required to have first completed Biology 1001.
A co-requisite course is a required course that may be taken at the same time as another course. For example, the co-requisite for Nursing 1003 is Nursing 1004; therefore you must register for Nursing 1001 before you will be able to register for Nursing 1003 Similarly, if you drop Nursing 1004, Nursing 1003 will be automatically dropped from your schedule at the end of the registration session.
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 may wish to contact the appropriate department head to request a waiver. You should do this before your assigned time of registration. Please note that any such waiver is valid only for one semester.
Information under this heading relates specifically to course sections where priority in registration has been established by academic units. A "Y" value under this heading indicates that reserved seating for the course section will be lifted after the close of the registration system on November 22. For further information, refer to the Wait List and Reserved Seating sections of these procedures.
This column may contain one or more of the following entries:
| L | limited enrolment; students must confirm their registration either by attending at least one of the first three hours of lectures and the first meeting of any laboratory section for the course, or by notifying the department in writing within the first five working days of the semester. Students who do not confirm their registration may be dropped from the course automatically |
| R |
research/writing requirement of the bachelor of arts degree
The following research/writing courses are offered in the Winter Semester 2013:
Please refer to the course attribute column in the course offerings to check for changes to this list.
Upon completion of the research/writing requirement you need not complete any other courses with this attribute (unless they are required to satisfy your major or minor) and indeed you should not, in order to maximize accessibility for other students. |
| Q |

| W |
the literacy requirement of the Grenfell bachelors of arts, business administration, resource management and science degrees For a full explanation of the Grenfell Campus core requirements, including information about the breadth of knowledge requirement, click here. |
This heading refers to the instructor(s) assigned to teaching the course section, as of the time of publication. Check the searchable course offerings at this site or in Memorial Self-Service for the most up-to-date information, or with individual academic units if instructors are not listed.
This column lists the credit hours associated with the course; for most courses this value will be 3 but some courses, such as Music 1118 have a credit hour value of 1.
This column indicates the hours assigned to a course for the purpose of tuition calculation. For most courses, the billing hour value will be the same as the credit hour value. However, there are exceptions, such as Math 102F which has a credit hour value of 0 and a billing hour value of 3. In cases where courses have been assigned a flat fee, such as co-operative work terms, N/A will appear in this column.
Some course sections will be available only to students in particular professional terms or with a particular classification. For example, ENGR 5312 section 001 has indicated
AVAILABLE TO: E5.
This means that this course section is available only to students in Engineering Academic Term 5. Click here for Classification Codes (including Professional Term codes).
When two or more courses offered by different departments are equivalent, they are referred to as being cross-listed. Cross-listed courses are identified in the class schedule and in the university Calendar in departmental course description sections.
If you attempt to register for a course section that is cross-listed and the section is full, check the cross-listed course to see if space is available in that section. Cross-listed courses are taught in the same time slot and in the same room, by the same instructor.
Priority in registration in many courses will be given to students who meet specified programs of study, such as admission to a degree (including diploma and certificate) program, major and minor/concentration. This will be indicated on a line below the course listing. For example under COMP 2801 you may see
RESERVED FOR: DEGREE BBA BC BCN CBAD DBA
MAJOR COMP
If you see
MAJOR: ANTH
MINOR: ENGL
the course will be reserved for students who have declared a major in anthropology and a minor in English.
DEGREE: BSH
MAJOR: PHYS
the course will be reserved for students pursuing a bachelor of science (honours) with a major in physics.
