Summer Courses
Registration dates
Registration for the summer session will open in February/early March.
You will receive an email from Enrolment Services in mid-February directing you to check the Workday Student for the exact date and time when your registration will open (i.e., your registration appointment).
As most summer courses are only six weeks in duration, be aware of earlier withdrawal dates and the refund schedule before you drop any courses.
Plan your courses wisely
If you're considering enrolling in summer courses, be mindful that with the shorter summer terms—typically six weeks followed by a condensed final exam period—keeping up with your coursework and managing your study time effectively will be essential to your academic success.
Taking two summer courses during a single term requires the same amount of time and effort as taking a full five-course load during a regular winter term to achieve comparable results. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you limit your summer registration to a maximum of two courses per term to ensure your continued success in the program.
Available Commerce courses
If you're looking at the year-level restrictions for courses you're planning to take during the summer, you may be wondering if you'll be eligible to register. Course seats are reserved with the expectation that registered students will have achieved the required class standing (i.e., year level) as listed in the section notes in Workday after completion of their winter Term 2 courses in May.
What can I take?
For important deadlines, such as the last day for withdrawal without a withdrawal standing of "W" recorded on your academic record, the last day to elect Credit/D/Fail grading for eligible courses, and the last day for withdrawal with withdrawal standing of "W" recorded on your academic record, please refer to the course section details in Workday.

Making travel plans
Your exam schedule will be available midway through the term of study. If you are making advance travel plans before the exam schedule is published, assume that you may be writing your last exam on the last possible date and time during the exam week. The Undergraduate Office will not grant concessions due to conflicting travel arrangements.
