The registration revision period – your last opportunity to make changes to your class schedule without risking financial penalty – is coming up soon.

The registration revision period is the first two weeks of classes in the Fall and Winter Terms. During this period, changes can still be made to your course registrations without any academic or financial penalties.

Revision period dates:

1. Last day to drop courses is: January 19, 2025
2. Last day to add courses is: January 20, 2025

Remember: The last day to add a course falls one day after the last day to drop a course without financial penalty. This means that if you register for a course on the deadline to add courses, you cannot drop the course afterward. You can still voluntarily withdraw from the course, but the course will appear on your transcript with ‘VW’ as the grade and you will be responsible for paying the fees associated with the course.

During the registration revision period…

• You can add and remove courses to create a timetable that suits your needs.
• Courses that you decide to drop or change during this period will not be added to your student records or your academic transcript.
• You will receive a notification if a seat becomes available in a course you are on the waitlist for, and you can then register for it.
• Any changes that you make to your course registration will reflect on your tuition.
• If you drop a course during this period, your fees for that course will be reversed accordingly.

Waitlisted courses and the revision period

During the revision period…

• If you are on the waitlist for a course that you no longer need, please make sure that you drop yourself from the list. This will allow a notification to be sent to the next student on the waitlist without delay

Dropping a course after the revision period

At the end of the Revision period…

• Once the registration revision period is over, you are still able to Voluntary Withdraw (VW) from a course up to a certain date in the term. However, please note that a Voluntary Withdraw will appear on your transcript as a VW and you will still have to pay the tuition associated with the course.

Remember – Think before you drop!

Update your residency status

If you have recently become a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen, then you can update your residency status in your Aurora account. Updating your status during the revision period will enable you to receive a fee adjustment and pay domestic tuition rates for the current term.

There are three important things to know about the Registration Revision Period:

• You can add a new class to your timetable.
• You can register in a course that you had waitlisted if you have received a notification that a seat in the course is now free.
• You can change your residency status in your Aurora account if you have recently become a Permanent Resident or a Canadian Citizen. Updating your status during this period will enable you to receive a fee adjustment and pay domestic tuition rates. Please note that if you have updated your status after the Registration Revision Period, you will be required to pay international rates and will pay domestic rates for your following term(s).

The revision period is not the only time you can drop a course. Once the Registration Revision Period ends, you are still able to voluntary withdraw from a course up to a certain date in the term. The difference is that Voluntary Withdraws will appear on your transcript as a VW and you will still have to pay the tuition associated with the course.
