U of R to offer full-year registration starting in March 2024
Streamlined approach to scheduling and registration will enhance student well-being and academic success.
Full-year class registration is coming to the University of Regina in March 2024, with class options viewable starting today. For the first time, students will be able to register for classes across three terms — spring/summer 2024, fall 2024, and winter 2025 — simultaneously. The initiative affords undergraduate and graduate students the ability to know their class offerings for an entire year so they can plan their academic, work, and personal lives with greater confidence.
The U of R is implementing full-year registration to support the academic goals of students and to improve their University experience. Students will see simplified registration with the flexibility to change classes and programs, and ultimately the ability to better plan across all aspects of their busy lives — academics, finances, work placements, job schedules, and personal time. For international students, full-year scheduling and registration will also help streamline immigration paperwork.
“Full-year registration spells stress relief! I juggle a job as well as full-time studies and it’s almost impossible to plan effectively when I’m not sure what classes are coming up or in what order. I have friends who had to delay convocation while waiting on a class. I think it shows the University cares and I’m super happy that students like myself will know our class options a year out,” says Jacob Stewart, fourth-year Environmental Systems Engineering student.
The academic course schedules for all three upcoming terms went live today, enabling students to start planning through to April 2025. Registration for all three terms begins Tuesday, March 5.
“Today marks the beginning of a new level of service and student experience at the U of R. We are constantly looking for ways to support their well-being and help them lead balanced lives during their university years. Transforming our scheduling and registration approach was one way we felt we could have an impact,” says Executive Director, Strategic Enrolment Management and Registrar at the U of R James D'Arcy.
The move to full-year registration is the result of more than two years of planning by the Registrar’s Office, faculties, federated colleges, academic units, and administrative areas across the University.
More information about the change to full-year registration is available on the Registrar’s Office website.
