Before you begin:
- Review your program requirements to ensure you are registering in the required courses for your program in the appropriate terms.
- Make sure you are viewing the appropriate online or on-campus courses.
- Consult the registration guide and how-to videos to assist you through the registration process.
- Course registrations are on a first-enrolled, first-served basis.
- Should the need arise to lower enrolment limits on course sections or even our enrolments over sections, those who registered last in a specific section of a course may be moved to another section offered at the same day, time and delivery method without notice.
- Should we be able to increase enrolment limits on a course section, those on a waitlist (where applicable) would have priority on those spaces.
- Courses are subject to minimum registrations in each section. Courses with low enrolment may be cancelled. If this is necessary, affected students will be notified via email.
-
- on-campus sections are typically just a number or a single letter.
- SK628, SK635, SK644, SK645, SK646, SK647 and SK648 are for students enrolled in the Indigenous Field of Study Advanced Standing MSW program (IFS) only. Requests for space in those courses from students outside the IFS will not be approved.
If you have questions or receive error messages on LORIS, please review the Error Messages Guide. If that does not help, send us the exact error message you receive or a screenshot of the error as well as your name, ID number and your program to fswassist@wlu.ca for on-campus students and onlinemsw@wlu.ca for online students.

Online Course Offerings
Online courses are first and foremost for our online program students.
Your program sequencing, for Regular Track or Advanced Standing, is outlined in your Welcome email sent at the time of admission.
You must register for courses as they are outlined in your sequence. Deviation from your program sequence will result in de-registration.
If you are off-track due to a leave from the program or change of placement start term, email onlinemsw@wlu.ca for your individualized course plan.
Online course sections:
-
- Start with F, W, or S for the applicable fall, winter, or spring academic term.
- The term is followed by a section: A for the 1st 6 weeks, B for 2nd 6 weeks and C for the full term courses.
- Some courses are designed for specific programs. Courses with term (F, W, S) followed by AS are for the Advanced Standing program and RT for the Regular Track program.
- Exception: Course sections starting with FI or PI are for the Indigenous Field of Study program only.
When choosing sections, evenly distribute A and B six-week sections.
PLACEMENT COURSE: Register for the appropriate placement course in each term that you are scheduled to be in the placement setting.
