Register for Courses

The admissions deposit must be paid through Dal Online before registering for courses. Pay the deposit at least 24 hours before registration. 

You need to activate your NetID to access Dal Online.

Returning or transfer students must check their registration status in Dal Online to see when they can register. This is also where holds, special registration permissions or overrides will appear on your account.

First-year students can find courses using the course planning worksheets. If you do not see a course planning worksheet for your faculty or program, check the academic calendar, your degree audit, or with your faculty.

If you are transferring from another institution or have already begun your studies at Dalhousie, start with a degree audit to see how your previous or current courses count toward your requirements and what you need to take next. 

Graduate students should visit the Faculty of Graduate Studies registration page. 

The academic timetable lists courses offered in a particular term. You can find courses and create your schedule.

Here is a quick guide on to how to read the academic timetable. 

Check your acceptance letter or registration status in Dal Online to see when registration is open for you. When it is time to register: 

• Add courses
• Block registration
• Waitlists and changing courses
• View your schedule
• Degree requirements/audit (DARS)
• Dropping courses
