Registration Support
If you encounter technical issues in Workday, contact your Enrolment Services Advisor.
Contact your departmental advisor to discuss specialization (e.g., major) requirements. They can help you choose courses once you’re in the specialization and manage waitlists. You can drop into Science Advising for help with planning for the BSc Specialization Application, such as discussing options based on your interests, but we cannot help you choose your specialization. We can help you review faculty requirements and your degree progression.
