Course selection and enrolment

As a first year Science student, your academic advisors have selected most, if not all, of your required courses for you. The required courses page will inform you about what courses you will be taking in the Fall and Winter terms, and if you have electives. If your program has an elective component, you will need to select this course. If your program does not list an elective component, you will still need to review the required courses on your Quest to ensure successful course selection. It is important that you read the Notes under your listed program as there may be recommended electives.

To do:

1. Read the required courses page and know your courses for your program.
2. Log in to Quest.
3. Match required courses and those already selected on Quest.
4. If applicable, select your elective(s) on Quest. 

The Schedule of Classes should be used when looking up course information, including courses available per term, number of sections offered, enrolment capacity, time and place of the class, and the instructor.

Tip: When selecting the term (e.g. 1239), this number typically starts with '1' (21^st Century), followed by the year '' (2023), and the first month of the term 'September = 9' (9^th month of the year).

The Course Selection Offerings List will give students a look into what courses are offered in the next term. This list also has information on where the course is offered including online, Affiliated University-Colleges, and UWaterloo main campus.
