Course enrolment is the process of adding the courses you plan to take over the next academic session in ACORN. Before you enrol in courses, it is a good idea to spend some time to plan your courses , check the delivery method of the courses, create a weekly schedule and understand the enrolment indicators and controls.
In the Fall/Winter session, you can be on the waitlist for up to 2.0 credits per term. In the Summer Session, you can be on the waitlist for up to 2.0 credits. If you are on the waitlist for a course, it will count towards your maximum course and term load. Not all courses have waitlists.
If you do not pay or defer your fees by the fees/deferral deadline, you may be removed from your courses.
Waitlists are closed on a specific date each term, usually a few days before the last day to add courses. Check the Academic Dates & Deadlines for the date that the waitlists close, and the last day to enrol in courses.
If you need permission from an academic unit to enrol in a course, you will not be able to cancel the course on ACORN. Please contact the academic unit or your College Registrar's Office to cancel the course. It is important to note that refund deadlines are not the same as course cancellation deadlines.
Online Synchronous: Meeting sections require online attendance at a specific time for some or all activities. In some cases, however, in-person attendance at a specific location could be required for certain activities, tests or exams associated with the course.
For more information about your start time, check the enrolment periods above. On your start date, you will not be able to log into ACORN until your start time.

"My Winter Session program was fantastic. I have never taken an online course before, so my expectations were low, but I was completely blown away. I took the course because I desperately needed four credits, and I was so lucky to take a Winter Session class that provided those credits in a way that was engaging, fun, and interesting.
