For New Students to Lakehead

If you are new to Lakehead, in order to begin registering, you first need to accept your offer from Lakehead University and submit your deposit to us. To check if you are eligible to register, please follow the following four steps:

For New & Returning Students

To start planning your schedule use the Build My Pre-Registration found in myInfo. This tool allows you to search for your program requirements by campus, undergraduate or graduate level courses, subject, year level, type, term and more. The schedule builder searches the University course timetable and offers you an advanced way to search the timetable.

The easiest way to find the course offerings for your specific program requirements is to search by subject and year level. Once your search generates the list of courses and you would like to see how they would fit into a schedule, you would simply check the box beside the course(s) then scroll to the top to "Click here to view Schedule". You can then review the courses visually in a timetable format to see if they are appropriate and that there are no conflicts (conflicts will show in red and you will need to adjust your selection).  

To add additional courses, you would repeat the search and view steps.

Once you are happy with your pre-registration schedule, you can save the information for later so that all your courses have been pre-selected and are waiting for registration to open. If registration is not open yet, you will still need to complete registration once it opens. If registration is already open, you can proceed to register right away.

To complete the registration process, go back into myInfo Build My Pre-Registration.  Once you select your campus, click on "Proceed to Course Registration".  It's that easy.

If you are a new student, you will need to review and accept the rights and responsibilities of the University before proceeding.  You will also be asked to complete education and aboriginal self-declaration surveys.

Next, you will be directed to the "Register and Drop Sections" screen where you will find your previously selected courses under the "Preferred Sections" heading.  Review the courses one last time to ensure they are correct.  Once you are comfortable with your courses, select "Register" from the drop-down menu in the "Action" column beside the individual course(s).  If there are any courses listed that you are not going to register for, please make sure to select "Remove from List". Once you have selected an action for each course listed, then click "Submit" at the bottom of the page.

Once you submit, you will be directed to the "Registration Results" page.  It is important that you verify the course registration status and this screen will show you the updated status of each individual course registration attempt.  You may receive a status of:

• Registered for this section - this means you should be successfully registered 
• Removed from Preferred Sections - this means the section will no longer show in preferred sections in myInfo
• Unsuccessful Registration - this means you are not registered for this section.  You will need to select and alternate section or course.
• You may also be prompted to submit a Request for Special Permission or Overload, if applicable.

Now that you have submitted your registration online, it's a good idea to take a final look at your course registration and print out your class schedule.

Confirm Your Registration & View Your Timetable

To view your schedule, login to myInfo and select View My Course Schedule/Timetable.  Note:  full year courses will appear on both the fall term schedule as well as the winter term schedule.  To print a copy of your class schedule, hold down the Control key and the letter P at the same time.

When reviewing your class schedule, make sure that you do not have any course conflicts.  If you have created a conflict you will need to reschedule your courses.

Making a Change to Your Registration

Have you changed your mind about a course you're registered for?  Not a problem!  As long as you are within the add and drop deadlines as published in the Important Dates section of the Academic Calendar, you can make changes to your courses through the online registration system.

• Adding a Course:  Follow the same instructions as detailed above in the For New & Returning Students section.
• Dropping a Course:  Select Drop My Course(s) in myInfo.  A list of courses you are currently registered for will be displayed.  Simply check the box beside the course you want to drop and Submit.  A message will be displayed on the Registration Results page informing you if the drop was successful.  You will also receive a registration confirmation email to your Lakehead University email account.

Another resource that can be used to help guide you through your program requirements successfully is the online degree audit.  Click here for further details.
