•
•
•
Your academic advisor must approve the conference
BEFORE you attend.
You must submit a conference report within 2 weeks of
attending the conference.
You must include your receipt and conference itinerary
with your report.
Calendar vs. Timetable
•
•
The Calendar is a list of all courses that the
university can offer, known as the curriculum.
The Timetable is a list of courses scheduled for
a specific period of time. The timetable is
available on the Registrar’s website or when you
login to Acadia Central.
Timetable
•
•
•
•
•
•
The timetable lists courses with section
numbers. For example: CODE 1013x1
The four letters (i.e. CODE) states the discipline
1*** is the level
***3 is the number of credits
X1 is the section (x1, a1, x2, x0)
The whole course number and section are
required to register for a course.
Timetable
•
•
•
•
University timeslots are approved at Senate and
therefore faculty and students should be prepared to
attend classes in the slot allotted.
Changes happen often.
• Courses are added.
• Courses change time slots.
• Courses are removed.
Schools / Departments may or may not have waiting
lists for their courses. We cannot register you for a
course that is full, you should contact the instructor of
the course.
Check your Acadia email regularly for updates.
