Here are the top five most important things you need to know about Orientation!
Enrolment Centre
The Enrolment Centre is your one-stop-shop and the Enrolment Centre team can assist you through the start of your academic journey and beyond. The Enrolment Centre can help with:
- Registration and timetables
- Deposits, tuition and fees
- Payments and account balances
- Adding/dropping courses and transfer credits
- Financial aid
- Awards and bursaries
- Transcripts and diplomas
Registration is when you select of block of courses and your general elective courses to get your timetable. This is completed before the start of every term and will be available on myCambrian, under the ‘Student’ tab. You will receive an email that will notify you when the registration portal is open. Once you have completed registration, your timetable will be available for viewing in myCambrian under the ‘Student’ tab. Please take note, that your timetables are subject to change within the first few weeks of the term. Please check your timetable regularly.
Your classes may be hybrid, virtual, hyflex or in person. Your timetable will indicate which courses are virtual or hyflex if there is VIRT beside the room number. If there is a room number indicated, that means the class is in person. For virtual classes, you can find the link to the conferencing tool Zoom in Moodle (your academic courses portal which is our learning management system), or your professor will email it to you.
Before you start, be sure to review the technical requirements for your program from the program delivery page to learn about what you’ll need to start your studies.
