Add/Drop
All adding and dropping is done through insideEC. See Attendance and Student Responsibility for information on start of semester add/drop policies. Refer to the Academic Schedule for deadline dates.
Dropping all courses constitutes a withdrawal from the University. See the withdrawal policy for more information.
If you apply for a Leave of Absence after the start of classes, it will be treated as a withdrawal and tuition fees will be assessed.
Waitlist Procedures
To waitlist a course is to start or add yourself to a queue for the course. If the course status reads “Closed” you can start the queue by waitlisting the course. If the course status reads “Waitlisted” then a waitlist has already been started and you can add yourself to the queue.
If a registered person drops the class the first person on the waitlist gets notified via their Emily Carr e-mail that they have “Permission to Register”. This permission is valid for a limited time. If you do not register before the time limit expires, your name will be removed from the list and the space will be given to the next student.
If you are no longer interested in a course for which you are waitlisted, please remove yourself from the waitlist through insideEC.
It is your responsibility to check your e-mail and/or the insideEC website regularly to see your waitlist status.
Permission to Register Deadlines
- Before August 7: students have three (3) working days to register for a course after receiving their e-mail notification.
- August 7 until the end of the Add/Drop period: students have one (1) working day to register for a course after receiving their e-mail notification.
