• Commerce
• Concurrent Education
• Music
• Nursing
• Kinesiology
• Engineering and Applied Science

Log in to SOLUS beginning in July to view your pre-enrolled class schedule.

Students who choose some or all of their courses will be able to see their Enrolment Appointment time in SOLUS beginning in July. This is also when you may begin adding classes to your Shopping Cart.

If you are choosing some or all of your courses, beginning in July you can access your SOLUS Student Centre to view your enrolment appointment and begin adding courses to your shopping cart. Your enrolment appointment is your specific date and time when you may enrol in your courses. In advance of the start of your enrolment appointment, it is a good idea to add your courses to your shopping cart and build your schedule so that you are ready to enrol once your Enrolment Appointment begins. 

Please note: You won't be able to actually enrol in the courses until your Enrolment Appointment begins.

There are three Enrolment Periods (2023 dates coming soon):

Class Selection I -- Restricted Enrolment - Your enrolment appointment time will be your first opportunity to enrol in your courses. We suggest that you enrol as soon as your appointment time begins. Some courses may have enrolment restrictions on them. These restrictions are there to ensure that students who require certain courses receive priority. 

Class Selection II -- Open Enrolment - Most enrolment restrictions will be removed, although some online classes may still have restrictions.  

Open Enrolment – You can start making any changes to your schedule.  If you need help, please contact your Faculty/School.

Read the Guide to Registration and Fees for a step-by-step guide on how to enrol in courses. If you need help selecting courses, please contact your Faculty/School.
