    If you do not see your booklist, keep checking as booklists are typically available 3 weeks before the semester start

    For Brockville and Cornwall students who are interested in purchasing a bus pass, you can receive this directly from the transit office. 

    Brockville 

    Cornwall 

     For new and returning full-time Kingston students the bus pass fee is already included in your ancillary fees therefore you do not need to purchase this separately. To receive your bus pass, you first need to complete the online application to get your student card [the bus pass will be on the student card when you pick it up from Student Services].  

    We encourage students to leave their cars at home and use public transportation to reduce their carbon footprint, save money, and save time looking for parking on campus. 

    Follow SLC on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram.

    Although most of your program courses are predetermined, there are times when you will need to select an elective or a general education course.

    In these cases, our Registration Service Officer (RSO) will contact you via email to complete a survey and choose from a list of courses.

    Your timetable will have an EGEN course code added as a placeholder to show that you need to fulfill this requirement. To remove the EGEN code, you must complete the survey requested by email. Watch for an email titled “Action Required: Course Enrollment Selections”

    Completing the survey is important because it allows you to

    • rank your elective/GenEd course choices
    • OR indicate that you have started the transfer credit process with our Pathways department
    • OR confirm that you have already met your elective/general education requirement.

    Please keep track of your program requirements and ensure that you are on track to graduate.

    Check your advisement regularly by following the instructions provided here.
    If you have any questions, please contact your Registration Services Officer at enrolment@sl.on.ca.

    For information about our Internal/External Transfer Credit process, please visit our Credit Transfer page. If you have any questions about transfer credits, please email our Pathways Coordinator at pathways@sl.on.ca.
