PSYCH course enrollment and overrides

The Psychology Department applies the following enrolment policies regarding Online courses without exception:

• We do not override enrolment capacity in our courses.

• The Psychology Department does not maintain waiting lists. It is therefore the student's responsibility to keep checking QUEST for any changes in the enrolment status of a course.

• Though course reserves may be adjusted from time to time during the course selection period, reserved spaces will not be granted by override. It is the student's responsibility to keep checking QUEST for spaces that may become more generally available due to adjustments in course reserves.

• Students will not be allowed to enroll in Online or on-campus courses beyond the end date of the Add period which is typically the end of the second week of term. Spaces that remain unfilled by the end of that date, or that open up because of drops that occur beyond that date, will not be treated as new opportunities for students to join a course.

For PSYCH Courses offered by other units

If the campus location (camp loc) on the Schedule of Classes:

• Ends with a "J" (“ONLNJ” or "STJ J"): please email the St. Jerome's University advisor.
• Ends with a "R" (“ONLNR” or "REN R"): place your name on Renison’s online waiting list.

Also see Enrolment problems for Faculty of Arts courses other than Psychology.

Recommendations for successful enrolment in online courses:

• Make note of all of the Important Dates  for the current/upcoming term in your personal calendars and set reminders.
• Do not miss the course selection period as online courses frequently fill up early.

• If you are currently unable to enroll in an online course, keep checking QUEST in case spaces open up prior to term due to drops or adjustments in reserve restrictions.

• You will enhance your chances of securing a space if you check QUEST regularly and often during the Add/Drop period.
