Student Self-Registration

Self-Registration Program

We are excited to release more self-serve options to our students!

Starting Fall 2026, all SLC students will be able to register for their own classes. This means that you get to choose the class time that works best for you!

Please view the videos below to learn how to register for courses. You will receive emails letting you know when your registration time opens.

Some students will have a General Education Elective requirement in addition to their program courses.

You must meet the following criteria to self-register:

You have paid the required tuition deposit (full-time students)
You have no academic holds
You have no outstanding financial balance (if you do, please make the payment as soon as possible. Please refer to our website: How can I make a payment: https://www.stlawrencecollege.ca/fees/frequently-asked-questions Payments can take 3-5 business days to post

You must complete the self-registration process, before attending classes.

Full-Time Students

A student enrolled in courses from their Program of Study with a course load equivalent to at least 70% of the normal course credits or two-thirds of the normal course load (calculated on number of courses) for each semester of their Program of Study. Students with a permanent disability accommodated on an approved reduced course load are deemed to be a Full-Time Student, provided they maintain a minimum of 40% caseload. Please note that full-time status may be defined differently for the purposes of financial aid.

Part-Time Students

A student enrolled in one or more courses and in less than 70% of the credits and in less than 66.7% of the courses required for a full-time program of instruction in a given semester or reporting period.

Part-time students will follow the self-registration process. Part-time tuition fees will post to the student account once enrolled.

Part-time students must have course(s) approved by Program Coordinator or a custom plan created by Program Coordinator or Academic Advisor

Important Details

For ONLINE students: Due to system limitations at this time, you may notice some in-person course options. Please do not register in any in-person courses, enroll only in online courses. Online courses are identified as those that have TBA meeting dates and times (General Arts and Sciences programs will be registering in in-person courses).
The level you enroll in should correspond to the semester you are enrolling in. For example, all new students should be choosing level 1, as they are enrolling in semester 1.
Courses will not immediately appear on Blackboard once you have enrolled. It may take up to one day for the course to appear.

Students enrolling in General Education elective courses may select in-person or online options (some exceptions apply).
