How to register

ACTIVATE your student portal account

Note: you must activate your my.brocku.ca student portal account at least 24 hours prior to when registration opens.

Through my.brocku.ca you will be able to access registration as well as information regarding your academic status, degree progression, financial and other important information.

To activate your my.brocku.ca account, begin with the I am a New or Returning Student or Alumnus link on the my.brocku.ca web page. Read and follow the instructions on each screen. This process will also provide you with a Brock e-mail account and a Brock computer account. Once you have completed activating your my.brocku.ca account, log in using your student number and your new password.

Brock University Departments/Centres, as well as the Office of the Registrar, will use your Brock (badger) e-mail address as a means of contacting you. It is your responsibility to check this account often. You cannot forward this e-mail address to any hotmail or other e-mail address you may have.

Click on REGISTER from the Student Self Serve menu and Complete the DECLARATION

Once you click on Register, you will be brought to the Declaration screen. First, select the session for which you are registering from the drop-down menu. Your first time on the registration system, you must also confirm your program of study. You must complete each section of the Declaration form before you register.

If you disagree with any information displayed, click the “I disagree button” under the information in question. Once you have answered each section of the Declaration, click the “Submit Declaration Form” button at the bottom of the screen. You will still be permitted to register.

“I disagree”

If you disagreed with any information on the Declaration form, continue with Steps 4 and 5. Once you complete your registration, follow the steps below.

• If you disagreed with: Program of Study or Immigration Status, contact Student Records at records@brocku.ca or x3099.
• If you disagreed with mailing or local address, a warning will be displayed each time you log in to Student Self Serve. You have until September 25th to go to Student Access and correct your mailing and/or local address. After September 25th, your registration access will be blocked until you update your mailing and/or local address.

Register for Courses

For assistance in how to ADD a course or DROP a course, please use the online tutorial available through the HELP menu option on the right side of the menu bar.

• To ADD a course simply click on “ADD” displayed beside the lecture.

TIP – By scrolling over the elements of the courses listed you can reference the course name, restrictions and other course information.

Your course additions will show in the List of Registered Courses for Current Registration Period and a confirmation message of “You have successfully added (course information)” will display.

If a course offering is listed on the timetable but is not showing as available in Register, the course is full. You must register in an alternate section of this course on your assigned campus. If you are unable to register in a section on your campus, do NOT register on the other campus as those spaces are reserved. Email teaccounts@brocku.ca for assistance.

• To DROP a course, click on the “DROP” link shown on List of Registered Courses for Current Registration Period. A confirmation message will display to verify the change made and the list of registered courses will be updated.

At any time you may access a Complete List of Courses through the link at the end of this page (note, this is an overnight update).

Check for Conflicts

You will need to check for course conflicts. Go to StudentSchedule to view your schedule and potential course timetable conflicts (use link at the end of the registration page). Any potential conflicts will be shown here, indicated by an orange “conflict exists” block. If you have a potential conflict, first check the durations to confirm whether the courses are actually in conflict as some courses running in the same term but different durations will show as potential conflicts. If you still have a genuine conflict, make note of the conflict and search for an alternative offering. (NOTE: This may be an overnight update).
