Registration Deadlines

Graduate Students Receiving Funding

If you are receiving funding administered by Dalhousie University this applies to you.

In order to receive your scholarship payment on schedule you MUST be properly registered before the final funding registration deadline (below). It is recommended that you register as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays.

The consequence of failing to properly register by the final registration deadline will be an additional one-month delay in receiving your scholarship payment (27th day of the second month of the term).

All Other Graduate Students

It is important that you register before the deadline to avoid fees and other difficulties. Modifying your course registration after a term's deadline will require completion of an FGS Class Add/Drop form.
