Undergraduate course enrolment help sessions on campus

Students admitted without advanced standing or with fewer than 24 advanced standing units
Join us on campus for our May course enrolment help sessions! During these sessions, we’ll give you a short presentation on how to use the Enrol application in uoZone. Then, you’ll have time to enrol in courses for your first year at uOttawa while our specialists are on hand to help you.
These sessions focus on course enrolment for undergraduate students who’ve been admitted in first year. If you’ve been granted 24 or more advanced standing units, we encourage you to participate in one of the June sessions, once your enrolment period has begun.

You are responsible for completing your course selection and enrolment correctly and making sure that courses meet your program requirements. You can’t enrol after the deadline.
