Q: When does first year course registration begin ⏰ and what is the registration process?

A: First year course registration happens between July 6 to July 8 and specific registration date and time can be found through your SSC. First year Sauder students need to add a STT (Standard Timetable) that suits your preference, a WRDS150B, and one elective to your worklist. Make sure courses do not conflict with each other by checking Test Registration! Once your registration time arrives, you can register all the courses within your worklist with one click!


💡Reminder:

  • STT includes all mandatory courses for the entire winter session (2 terms), EXCEPT WRDS150B, so don’t forget to individually select it!

  • Once courses are successfully registered, you can download an electronic schedule to help you remember your course sections and time.


Q: What are the requirements for promotion to Year 2?

A: You will be promoted to Year 2 if you have met all of the following requirements:

1️⃣ Successful completion of 24 credits including:

  • all of COMM 101, ECON 101, ECON 102, MATH 104 (or accepted Math equivalent)

  • at least two of COMM 290, COMM 291, COMM 292, WRDS 150B (or accepted equivalent).

2️⃣ A winter session average of 60% or greater based on all courses attempted from September to April. (You must attain a minimum of 60% in your first year writing course, which is WRDS150B or accepted equivalent)
