Once you accept your offer of admission, the next step is to secure your seat in your degree program. Please submit your confirmation deposit via myServices: Pay Confirmation Deposit. As a reminder, the confirmation deposit is not an additional charge; although it is non-refundable, it goes directly towards your tuition and reduces your tuition payment due.

Confirmation of Enrolment for the purposes of a RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) can be accessed through myServices. The form is automatically generated and available to download as a PDF. It is important that you have completed your course registration for that academic term (e.g. Fall/Winter 2024/25) before downloading your Confirmation of Enrolment.

For Fall/Winter courses, the course offerings will be available for viewing on the Timetable in early June and for Spring/Summer courses in early January.

Course registration for the Fall and Winter terms commence  in mid-June. We offer staggered registration with registration opening to different groups of students throughout the summerStudents will be notified via their Lakehead email with their registration dates.

Lakehead graduates students three times per year (September, February and May). Graduation becomes official when Lakehead University’s Senate approves the Graduand List.

Convocation ceremonies take place one time each spring, normally around the last week of May in Thunder Bay and early June in Orillia. The ceremonies take place at sites nearby our two campuses. For more information on specific dates, times and locations, visit our convocation webpage.

Each graduating student will receive 2 tickets for their supporters. Due to space constraints, we may be able to offer extra tickets upon request. To request extra tickets, please contact convocation@lakeheadu.ca. Students will be informed of their extra ticket request the week prior to their convocation ceremony.

The OSAP application for Fall typically opens in Spring. Please check the OSAP website in May.

If you submitted a full time OSAP application in the Fall/Winter terms, then you are only required to submit the OSAP extension form.

Typically, it is available within the first week of March. The form can be found on this webpage.  It is important to submit your OSAP extension form once you have registered for all of your courses for the spring/summer, but also before the courses begin.  If you change your courses, you have to re-submit a new form each time.
