Registration Webinars

Course registration for first-year students starting Fall 2025 will open on June 25 at 3 p.m. 

Course registration can be a confusing first step in your preparation for Laurier. Between required courses, electives, labs and tutorials, there are a lot of options to consider when creating your first Laurier class schedule.

Our Laurier 101 course registration webinars will guide you through the process of reviewing your program requirements, evaluating your elective options, and developing a class schedule that works for you.

Drop-in hours are available to you if you've attended the course registration webinars and still need support in preparing for registration or troubleshooting errors during registration.
