Spring 2020 - Undergraduate Important Dates

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening of registration for the Spring 2020 semester will commence on Monday, April 13. Further details can be found on the COVID-19 FAQ page for the spring semester.

Registration and enrolment services

Spring Semester extends over a 14-week period beginning in mid-May and ending in mid-August. It is unique in that it offers students the opportunity to register for courses over the full 14-week semester as well as in two seven-week sessions which run concurrently with the 14-week semester. The session in the first half of spring is known as Intersession and the session in the last half of Spring Semester is known as Summer Session.
