Student may now request a course for Semester Two with CBe-learn using the Semester Two CBe-learn Course Request Form.

Counsellors will enroll students in January once the referral software opens for concurrent registrations.

Semester Two Course Change Requests

Students may fill out the Semester Two Course Change Request form if they are wishing to add or drop classes. This form will be open until January 17 at noon. After this, counsellors will work on balancing courses to ensure the smallest class sizes possible. Please note the following conditions:

  • We are unable to process changes based on teacher, period, peer or spare preferences.
  • All schedules are subject to change up until the first day of classes. As such, the teacher assigned may change as class balancing and teaching assignments change.
  • If students request a course they have not been recommended for, the counsellor will reach out with a Going Against Recommendation form.
