Add/Drop Period and Academic Advising Reminders

Please review the updated Sessional Dates on the Office of the Registrar website to ensure that you are aware of all important dates and deadlines for the Winter 2022 term.

What you need to know (Add/Drop):

• We cannot enroll you in a closed section of a course
• We encourage you to monitor Mosaic and if your preferred core opens up, then you may try to enroll in it at that time as students will be switching their schedules and courses until January 18 (the end of the Add/Drop period)
• There are no waitlists and instructors cannot give seat authorizations
• If you receive a message that you do not meet the “reserve capacity criteria” for a course, these seats may be in a reserve capacity that does not apply to you
  • Although a course may appear to have seats available, the seats in the reserve capacity that applies to you may be full at this time
  • Please try enrolling in a different section if available, or continue to monitor Mosaic until the reserved seats are released

What you need to know (Academic Advising Appointments):

• If you would like to meet with an Academic Advisor over Zoom, you can book an appointment via OSCARplus
• Academic Advising appointments until Tuesday, January 18 are reserved for Winter enrolment and course questions only
• If you are unable to attend a scheduled appointment, it is essential that you cancel it with notice in order to allow other students this opportunity
• Cancellations may be received through OSCARplus up to 24 hours in advance or can be emailed to buscom@mcmaster.ca
