Step 1: Before you begin
Pay your deposit: If you haven't paid your admissions deposit, you will be unable to register for courses. Pay your deposit at least 24 hours before registration.
Activate NetID: You will also need to activate your NetID to access Dal Online.
Track important dates: Bookmark our important dates page for registration dates, tuition payment deadlines, and more.
Returning or transfer students: Check your registration status in DalOnline to see the time that you can register. This is also where you will see if there are any holds, special registration permissions or overrides on your account.
Step 2: Find your courses
First-year students: Identify the courses you need to take.
If you do not see a course planning worksheet for your faculty or program: Check the academic calendar, your degree audit, or with your faculty.
If you are transferring from another institution or have already begun your studies at Dalhousie: Start with your degree audit to see how your previous or current courses count toward your requirements and what you need to take next.
Graduate students: Consult the faculty of graduate studies.
Step 3: Create your schedule
Explore the academic timetable: The academic timetable lists courses offered in a particular term. You will use it to find courses, create your schedule, and determine where your courses are being held and who is teaching them.
Step 4: Register for courses
Know when registration opens: Check your acceptance letter or registration status in DalOnline to see when registration is open for you.
