Now that you’ve followed all of the steps to becoming a Brock student, there’s only one last step before you start your classes — course registration.
If you are receiving transfer credits, or are not a first-year student, your registration date will be different.
Getting Started
Make sure you have your Brock email and password handy when registering. You should also ensure that you have activated your my.brocku.ca portal at least 24 hours in advance.
Registering for your courses requires careful planning! Don’t get stuck with 8 a.m. classes every day (unless you’re a morning person) — follow the steps below to create the best course schedule for you.

Remember! Many lectures are accompanied by a seminar, lab or tutorial, so be sure to include all components in your schedule.
Are you registering for Fall/Winter?
Remember to plan your schedule for both terms. Some courses will span both terms, and others will be offered in either the Fall or Winter terms.
- D1 courses: Fall/Winter
- D2 courses: Fall only
- D3 courses: Winter only
- Plan your required courses into your schedule first, then context courses, and finally electives.
- A full course load means you’ll have 3-5 courses each term.
- Classes may be booked back-to-back (there is typically a 10 minute break between classes) but remember to consider the class locations!
Not sure about travel time between classes? Check out a campus map. - Try not to leave big gaps in your schedule, but also be wary of large blocks of classes grouped together.
- Classes fill up quickly, have a back-up plan!
Step 3: Log in to my.brocku.ca and register for your courses
Make sure you have your Brock email and password handy when registering. You should also ensure that you have activated your my.brocku.ca portal at least 24 hours in advance.
