How-to Register Sessions & Navigate Laurentian Sessions

Registration Guide!

What is a How-to Register Session?

A How-to Register Session is to show you the step by step process of properly adding a course to your plan and completing the registration steps in order to reserve your spot in that course. During the session there will also be discussion on what each outcome means to make sure you have the complete understanding of how to read your progress page.

Click the session button to register

*Drop-In Sessions are available at the Student Success desk located in the J.N. Desmarais Library every day, Monday to Friday, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

What is a Navigate Laurentian Session?

A Navigate Laurentian Session is an opportunity to orient yourself with all things Laurentian. We have introductions to the platforms and processes such as the my.laurentian portal, Self-Service, D2L, your Laurentian email, etc.  These sessions will help you familiarize your Laurentian experience. 

Each week we feature different services and people who represent various services, departments and aspects of the Laurentian Community. We reserve time in the session for discussion, questions and answers to broad concerns and then help direct you to specific questions in follow up. Join us to build your confidence on campus!

STUDENT PLANNING

Start by reviewing your “View my progress” page to determine your degree requirements and progress in your degree.

Program requirements are divided into outcomes.

Each outcome must be successfully completed in order to graduate. It is important to read the description of each outcome to know what is required of you.

Search for courses from the “View my progress” page by either clicking on specific courses listed under each outcome or clicking the “Search” button that appears in every outcome.

Clicking the “Search” button from each outcome ensures that only the courses that will count towards that outcome will be pulled up from the catalogue.

HOW DO I PLAN A COURSE?

Once you have clicked on a course or the “Search” button from the desired outcome in the “View My Progress” section, you should filter your catalogue results.

Filtering allows you to narrow your results and makes searching for courses simpler and quicker. We suggest using the following filters :

  • Open sections only (always check off this option as it will only show courses that are available for that session)
  • term (not required but useful)
  • language
  • course delivery method, etc,.

All the courses that appear will fulfill the desired outcome.

Click on the “Register yourself for ____” link on the course of interest to expand the course and see the available sections.

Some courses may have several sections (hybrid, remote delivery, online, different available time slots)

Click “Add section to schedule” to plan that section.

Click “Add Section” on the pop-up window to plan the course.

*Do not click on the white “Add course to plan” button next to the course title since this doesn’t properly plan the course and doesn’t guarantee that the course is offered

**A planned course is NOT a registered course.

 

HOW DO I REGISTER FOR COURSES?

Once you have planned one or multiple courses from different degree outcomes, click on the “Student Planning” link and select the “Plan and Schedule” page.

To finalize your registration, you may click on the blue register button for a specific course, or the blue ‘Register Now’ button for the whole term. Repeat this process for every term for which you have planned a course.

(If this is your first course registration, you may need to answer a few questions and provide your SIN to finalize your course registration)

View My Progress

It is always recommended that you plan courses from the “View My Progress page” in order to ensure that you are aligning your course registration with your degree requirements.

*Accessing the catalogue directly will be necessary if you need to register for a lab since these do not appear in the outcomes on the ‘View my progress’ page.

Labs have the same course code with an additional ‘L’ at the end indicating that it is a lab (ex. BIOL 1507ELL Biology II-Lab). They always appear right after the course when searching.
