How to Register

Registration procedure for SEASIDE classes
 

Step 1.  Decide which SEASIDE course(s) you would like to take. You can take just 1 or up to 5 courses in one summer as long as they don’t overlap. If you have questions, contact the SEASIDE office at seaside@dal.ca, the Program director, jfrail@dal.ca, or the class instructor.

Step 2. Fill out the online SEASIDE online application:

Please Note: The online application for Summer 2024 SEASIDE courses will open at 9 AM on January 30, 2024. Seats in courses are not necessarily first-come, first-served. Permission to take courses in high demand will be decided according to qualifying criteria, including degree program, whether you are in co-op, year in program, grades, interest in the course, and need for that particular course, as well course pre-requisites satisfied. 

Note that the Scientific Diving Methods in Ecology field course (MARI/BIOL 3680) requires supplementary application documents.

Step 3. Once you have been notified that you have a seat in a specific course, you will have 5 days to pay your NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT to save your seat. Otherwise your seat will be offered to the next student in line. If you pay by electronic banking it's crucial that you email student.accounts@dal.ca with your name, ID number, the courses for which you have paid the deposits. Please copy that e-mail to seaside@dal.ca to let us know that you have paid your deposit and so that we can follow up if there are any problems. 

Please Note: Once we have been notified by Student Accounts that your deposit has been paid, you will be given permission (an electronic signature from the SEASIDE office) to register for the class. There is a delay of a few working days between the date you pay your deposits and the date that Student Accounts notifies us. Deposits will be refunded if a class is cancelled due to low enrolment.  Deposits will NOT normally be refunded if you later decide not to take the course.

Step 4. Register online, after you have been notified by email that you are cleared to register in the class. Dalhousie On-line Registration for Spring and Summer classes begins on February 27, 2024.

Step 5: When notified by student accounts (usually in early May), pay the remainder of your Auxiliary Fee plus your Dal tuition to Student Accounts using Dal Online. The deposit(s) you have paid will be credited towards your auxiliary fees when you register.

Important information for non-Dalhousie students

SEASIDE courses are open to Visiting Students! If you are not a Dal science student, please contact Student Accounts to inquire about tuition costs.

If you are an undergraduate student at another university and you would like to receive credit toward your degree at your home university, please get a Letter of Permission from your Faculty Office of your home university AND apply to Dalhousie as a Visiting Student by applying for undergraduate admission.

If you are not an undergraduate student at any university and would simply like to take a class out of interest, you will still need to apply to Dalhousie by applying for undergraduate admission.

You may submit your SEASIDE Application while your Dalhousie application is in process. Fees can't be paid without a Dalhousie student number, so the remaining steps must wait until you have been admitted to Dalhousie and have been assigned a Dalhousie student number (B00______). Please don't delay in applying to Dalhousie, as the process can take some time.
