How to select your courses
Depending on your program, you will either follow a standard timetable that is ready-made for you or you will need to build a timetable for yourself.
- Standard timetables (STTs) are offered in some programs and consist of a scheduled group of core courses. You must register for electives and other program requirements in addition to the STT courses as required.
- Most programs do not have standard timetables. If a standard timetable is not offered for your program, you must plan your schedule and choose your courses based on your interests, and the courses recommended or required by your faculty.
Find resources to help you plan your courses.
