Learn more about registering for courses
Many undergraduate courses have pre-requisites that must be met before you can register for the course. As a visiting student, you’ll often need to receive permission to register for classes that have pre-requisites. If you want to register in a course with pre-requisites, here’s who you’ll need to contact:
For a course with only high school level pre-requisites, contact Enrolment Services. They’ll post your credits to your student account, and then you can proceed with registration.
Note: This type of permission must be requested every time you want to register for a course with this type of pre-requisite requirement.
For a course with post-secondary level pre-requisites, contact the academic department that offers the course to request permission to enroll in the course.
Once you have permission to register in a course with pre-requisites, you’ll be able to register through My UCalgary (my.ucalgary.ca).
If you want to register into a graduate-level course, here are the steps you’ll need to take:
contact the academic department offering your desired course so you can request permission to register once you’ve received permission, the department must post an electronic allow action on your student file when the electronic allow action is posted, you must contact Enrolment Services to request that a manual registration is processed on your behalf
Contact the exchange office at your home university to find out if your institution has a formal exchange partnership with UCalgary.
