What do I need to know about enrolling in courses?
In high school, you had subjects, but at university, you have courses. You register for courses through Osiris during a designated registration period. First-year students are usually automatically enrolled in the mandatory courses for the first year.
Note: Registration periods can sometimes be as early as six months in advance, so make sure to mark the dates in your calendar and plan ahead. Registration periods can also vary by faculty. Keep this in mind if you are taking elective courses from a different faculty.
Academic Calendar
The website features an academic year calendar.
Timeslots
At UU, we use timeslots. To prevent your lectures, tutorials, or exams from overlapping, you need to schedule your courses in different timeslots. Timeslots allow you to create a manageable schedule.
