Undergraduate Course Registration Information Page

All course selection windows are now open for registration in Fall 2026 and Winter 2027. 

Waitlists: If you are waitlisted for a Psychology course, please be aware that it is not possible to change a student’s position on the waitlist or override caps. However, there is often considerable movement on course waitlists as students modify their schedules. It is common for waitlist positions to change quickly, including in the days leading up to and at the start of the semester.

Students with a PSYC minor: If you are attempting to register in a PSYC course for your PSYC minor that is full, you should add yourself to the waitlist. Unfortunately, we are unable to adjust a student's position on a waitlist or provide overrides for enrolment caps in either in-person or online courses. We therefore recommend that you remain on the waitlist and monitor your University of Guelph email account daily to ensure that you do not miss an opportunity to register if a seat becomes available. In the meantime, you should register in an alternative course to ensure that you have your desired courseload.
