The first step to your preparation for course registration is to check your program requirements.
Each program at Laurier has a specific curriculum, listed by faculty below. If you are unsure of which Faculty you belong to, refer to our list of programs by faculty.
Note: If there is any discrepancy between the requirements listed here and the requirements in the academic calendar, the calendar is the official version. Program requirements are subject to change so we encourage you to check back often.
You can review your program’s requirements in the academic calendar of the year in which you entered your program. You can also log into MyDegree to track the courses you have previously taken against your program requirements and determine which courses you have left to complete your degree.
If you have any questions about your course registration plan, connect with your academic advisor before course registration opens for you.
If you previously attended another postsecondary institution, you’ll need academic advice before you begin planning your schedule and registering for courses:
If awarded transfer credits, a preliminary transfer credit assessment will be included in your Offer of Admission. Final transfer credit assessments are completed once we receive your official transcript directly from your previous institution, so have it sent to the Recruitment and Admissions office as soon as possible to ensure the best selection of courses.

Are you required to take calculus as part of your program? Or perhaps you're thinking of taking a calculus course as an elective?
The Calculus Preparation Evaluation (CPE) is a mandatory online test you are required to complete before registering in one of Laurier's three entry-level calculus courses: MA100, MA102, or MA103; or in the precalculus course: SC101.
The test will help you determine which of the courses would be best suited to both your skills and your future goals. Consult the CPE guide to learn about the registration and testing processes.
