Registration Deadline: July 22, 2022

Using the CRNs below, for each class they wish to take, students must register for both:

1-    Lecture (Lec)   The online/blended portion (Section 70)

                                        AND                                                                                                                          
2-  Lab  The intensive portion (please note the dates and timezone)

·         Though section 70 is assigned the full 3 credit hours for the course (intensive is 0 credit hours), you must register for and complete the intensive portion to earn the full 3 credit hours. 

·         Intensives are mandatory and online attendance/access for the full session for which you have registered is required.

·         Registration is required by the deadline to finalize class sizes, intensives, and Brightspace preparation.

·         Students may not add, drop or "switch" the online/blended portion section of a course after the Registration Deadline without consulting the CEGE office.  Changes made after the deadline without doing so may result in removal from a course and additional fees being charged to your account.

·         To confirm if registration went through, please verify your schedule in DalOnline. 

·         Drop dates will be provided when released by the university.

·         Sample syllabi can be reviewed on the Course Selection Guide page, below the schedule.   These are subject to change.  https://www.dal.ca/faculty/management/cege/current-students/mpam/course-selection.html
