Add/Drop

Adding:
You are permitted to add courses through insideEC until April 26. After April 26, you may add a course and/or waitlist by emailing reghelp@ecuad.ca or by coming to Student Services in person. Only messages sent from your Emily Carr email address will be accepted. Tuition fees for courses added after April 26 must be paid within 3 working days to avoid de-registration for non-payment.

Dropping:
You are permitted to drop courses through insideEC until April 26 provided that registration in at least one course is maintained. Dropping all courses or de-registration for non-payment constitutes a withdrawal from the semester. If you decide to withdraw, even before the semester starts, charges will apply.

After April 26 and BEFORE your course begins, you may drop a course without penalty (provided registration in at least one course is maintained) by emailing reghelp@ecuad.ca or by coming to Student Services in person. Only messages sent from your Emily Carr email address will be accepted. All requests to drop a course after it begins are treated as a withdrawal and withdrawal policies will apply.

Unlike the fall and spring semester, you will not be removed from a course if you fail to attend the first class. Once registered you are considered committed to the course. If you do not attend and do not submit an official withdrawal request, you will be charged the full amount of tuition and you will receive an F grade.

De-registration for Non-Payment

If you register for a course and fail to pay your tuition by the deadline, you will be de-registered from the course and will be charged 25% of the tuition fee as per the withdrawal policy.

Withdrawal Deadlines

April 16 until the course begins

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.

After April 26, if you receive an email notification regarding a waitlist you will need to either send an email to reghelp@ecuad.ca or come to Student Services in person to confirm that you want the space.

Permission to Register Deadlines

  • Up to May 7: Students have one (1) working day to be registered for a course once their e-mail notification has been sent.
  • After May 7: Students have three (3) working days to be registered for a course once their e-mail notification has been sent.
