How to register for courses
Are you an admitted Graduate Liberal Studies (GLS) student looking for guidance on course registration?
Below, you will find guidance on registering for courses and other useful information for new GLS students.
First-time registration
After you have been accepted into the Graduate Liberal Studies (GLS) program, the next step is for staff to ensure that you are admitted to Graduate Studies.
Once that has happened, you will receive a letter from Graduate Studies confirming your status. The letter will include your 丁香园AV student number if you do not already have one.
Before registering for the first time, you will need to:
- Pay your $250 non-refundable admission deposit (this amount is subtracted from the tuition you will pay after registering)
- Activate your computing ID. To activate your computing ID, please visit and follow the steps. Please note: Your admission deposit must be paid before you can activate your computing ID.
Registration for LS 800
During the summer, GLS staff will send out an e-mail with registration information and instructions. Registration is done via the website. You are always welcome to contact the GLS office if you need assistance with registration. We suggest that you begin the process as soon as you鈥檝e been admitted to Graduate Studies so that any difficulties can be resolved prior to the start of classes.
Once you have registered, your fee assessment is available on . It is advisable to pay your fees in full by the deadline to avoid late fees and interest charged. Outstanding fees will cause your registration status to be 鈥渂locked鈥� in the next semester.
Only the students admitted to each year's cohort are able to register in LS 800, so there is no concern that the course might fill up while you wait for your admission to go through.
