Priority versus open enrolment periods

Period  What does this mean?
Priority Enrolment

Students are assigned a Priority Enrolment Appointment based on their year of study. The Office of the Registrar at TMU will assign a specific date range in which you can add, swap, drop classes for the upcoming term. 

Login to MyServiceHub and choose “Enrolment Dates” to confirm your Priority Enrolment Appointment date. You may begin adding/swapping/dropping classes as soon as your enrolment appointment begins on MyServiceHub. 
Open Enrolment

The Open Enrolment period usually runs during the first two weeks of the semester during the Fall and Winter semesters. During this period all students, regardless of the year they are in their program may make changes to their class schedule (add, drop, swap courses).

You may add courses outside of your degree requirements during this period (i.e. courses going towards a Minor). 

Is the course you want to take full?

Once the enrolment period begins, Student Advisors have the exact same access to courses that students do. If a course is full, you must independently monior the course on MyServiceHub for an available seat. It is not that they don't want to help you, but they cannot enrol you into full courses.

Here are some suggestions on what to do:

 Select a Backup Course

Search and enroll in one or two alternative Liberal Studies and Open Elective courses that you can take while you wait to see if seats become available in the course you want to take. Be as flexible as you can.

It is always best to get into a backup course and then switch out if a space opens up in the course that you want, rather than run the risk of being left with no course at all. 

 Waitlists

Add yourself to the waitlist for courses that have that option. Most Elective courses do, so if there is one, add yourself on it, and as students drop the course, you will move up the list in sequence. 

Make sure you understand how waitlists work. They are not for adding yourself to a course you are already enrolled in nor should they be used to swap sections but to help you get into a course you are NOT yet enrolled in.

Enrolment Tips

Here are some helpful tips to follow during the enrolment period:

  1. Use the SWAP function. If you have to make changes to your class schedule, it’s best to SWAP and not DROP. This way you’ll keep your seat until you’re successfully enrolled in the new class. 
  2. Continue checking for seat availability on MyServiceHub if a class is full closed icon. During the first two weeks of school we see the most movement in courses (classes open and close).
  3. Add yourself to the Wait List if a class has a Wait List option wait list. You can be on the Wait List for a maximum of two classes per term.
  4. Review your timetable to confirm that your courses appear after enrolling.  
  5. Ensure that the courses you enroll in satisfies your program's curriculum requirements. 
  6. Consult your Academic Advisement Report when selecting courses. Courses that appear in the “Non-Applicable” section are not used to fulfill your program curriculum requirements. Contact your Student Advisor with any questions you may have.
