Register for courses

Registration dates for each term can be easily found on the important dates page of our website. To verify your specific registration date and time, select Check Registration Status in Banner. You can also watch this how-to video.

After you have successfully registered, you may view your timetable online at any time. Georgian College reserves the right to alter course availability as well as the right to withdraw a student from a course if the student has failed a prerequisite. For this reason, you must check to see if any changes have been made online even after you have printed your timetable. It is essential that you do this before the start of classes and again at the end of add/drop.

You may not attend any courses you’re not registered in – you’ll not receive a grade and will be required to retake and repay for the course in a future semester. You’re expected to be attending ALL courses that are showing on your timetable. If you’re not attending the course (because you already took it or you’re getting an exemption but it hasn’t been processed yet, etc.), you’re required to drop or withdraw from it on Banner.

You’ll receive a grade for every course in which you’re registered, even if you’re not attending.

If you miss your registration window, you may still be able to register if full-time blocks of courses are still available. If they are no longer available, you may need to register via our add/ drop process.

Yes, your academic credits or experiences may transfer to your Georgian program. Be sure to inquire or apply for transfer credits or PLAR at least 60 days before your term begins. Be mindful of processing times. Visit the Credit for Prior Learning webpage to learn more.

If you have relevant postsecondary experience, our Transfer Equivalency Tool can help you explore course exemptions or advanced standing.

If you have relevant work or life experience, our Transfer Experience System can determine your eligibility for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)/exemptions.

While the registration process will recognize courses you’ve taken before or have exemptions for, it will still tell you that you need to pick one communications course or one General education course because that’s what is recommended for your program that semester.

If you know that you’ve already taken that course, do not pick one and ok the error message that will pop up telling you that you need one.

You’re expected to be attending ALL courses that are showing on your timetable. If you’re not attending the course (because you already took it or you’re getting an exemption but it hasn’t been processed yet, etc.) you’re required to drop or withdraw from it on Banner.
