Create a Timetable

It is VERY important that you draft a timetable BEFORE you go online to register on your start date/time.

1. Go to the Registration Process section of the website for the timetable worksheet. Print two worksheets – label one “fall term” and the other “winter term.“

2. Use the key resources – WebAdvisor and Timetable – and slot in a section of each of your chosen courses into your worksheets.

  • Fill in full (6-credit hour) courses first on both sheets.
     
  • Fill in courses with labs.   

  • Add any Fall Term (3-credit hour) half-courses and Winter Term (3-credit hour) half-courses.Then play around with different combinations. It usually takes a few tries to get a schedule that works.

3. Then play around with different combinations. It usually takes a few tries to get a schedule that works. 

4. Also, identify at least one alternative for each of your choices, in case your selection is full (you can put yourself on a waitlist but space may not become available).

TIP: When you are timetabling your courses for the week, don’t make the schedule too crowded.  Leave some time, here and there, in between classes so you can read over notes or work on assignments before or after a class.  If a test is coming up, you can review the material one last time before the test.

Once you have drafted YOUR timetable, you may want to see the International Academic Advisor for feedback and to discuss your academic plan.  Email Lee Hong for an appointment.

Use the Registration Process section of the website as a guide to the registration process and a place to find many other useful links, such as these:

  • Prerequisite or Departmental Approval
    Go to this link if you do not have the prerequisite listed for a course, but want to ask for special permission to take it

  • Other Ways to Register
    Go to this link if you prefer not to register online.

  • Forms
    Several forms are here, including the “Authorization Form” for giving someone else permission to register on your behalf - IF you are not able do it yourself for whatever reason.
