Each year of the program, each graduate student must register using the Student Centre at . Students must register annually, at the time of the anniversary of their first registration, and before the deadline for that term. All graduate students register for a twelve month period and general fees are assessed in each term, with the exception of students in course-based master's programs that have a scheduled break in the Spring and Summer Terms.
Students enrolled in thesis-based master’s or doctoral programs will be considered full-time unless the program Calendar entry allows for part-time registration and specific approval is given to an individual student. Unless a student’s registration is active, the student may not participate in University activities towards a degree such as attendance in a course, conducting research in a laboratory, teaching and receiving paid support.
