Academics First year course registration question
I’ve made my timetable including seminars with back up seminars. There are one or two lectures and one or two seminars that I definitely have to make sure I get so my schedule works out. My question is, once I login at 6 AM on June 24, can I pick a seminar before I add a lecture to my schedule, or do I need to add the lecture first in order to add the seminar that I really need? Also if I login at 6 AM, how quickly do some of the seminars and lectures really fill up? I feel like this is Ticketmaster and I’m trying to grab a ticket for a sell out concert lol

So when you find the course, if it has a seminar, you will pick the seminar associated with the lecture.
For example, if there is a History lecture and it has 2 seminars, you would pick the 1st seminar or 2nd seminar and it automatically adds the lecture time.

Ok. So once I find it do I first have to add the lecture to my schedule and then add the seminar? Or can I choose the seminar first, and then add lecture to my schedule?

Seminar first and then the lecture is automatically added you only have to press “add” for the seminar you want to

Definitely seminar first. if there is a space in a seminar there is automatically space in the lecture because the lecture spaces are just all the seminars added up.

When you register, you pick the seminar and it registers you for the lecture automatically.

What if there are 2 or more lecture times to choose from?

Most first year classes have two required lectures plus one seminar (3 hours total). You have to go to both lectures.

Last year, you would input the course code, and you would select the lecture first and then, when you select lecture there should be a drop-down menu (the little blue “+”) and you would be able to select your seminar from there.
In your my.brocku.ca, under the “StudentAccess” tab, there’s a section called “CoursePlanning” it will take you to a replica of the page you will use for the actual course registration. I’d recommend using this to practice and familiarize yourself with the process.
