Where do I register?

If the online registration system is open, you will register for your courses through your my.brocku.ca student portal. You must activate your student portal account at least 24 hours prior to when registration opens.

Please use the course planning tool in my.brocku.ca to map out your courses as the registration system does not open until 6am. This means that you won’t be able to access courses before then.

What if I want to add a course after registration has closed?
