Validation
The Winter 2021 validation period will open Monday, November 2, 2019 for all students.
The validation period is when students can start planning their classes and adding them to their Shopping Cart in UWinsite Student (so long as they are eligible).
The validation period is also when the list of classes offered in the Winter 2021 term will be close to complete. The tentative Winter 2021 timetables are available on the Office of the Registrar website. This timetable, however, can change right up until the start of classes based on information provided by Faculties so it is recommended students keep checking.
Registration
The Winter 2021 registration period will open Monday, November 9, 2020. Registration is when students can enrol in their classes through UWinsite Student.
As in previous semesters, students will be assigned an enrolment appointment time based on their program and level of study. An enrolment appointment time is when a student can start to register in classes through UWinsite Student.
Attached you will find the Winter 2021 Registration Appointment Schedule. Students, however, should check in UWinsite Student for their specific enrolment appointment time. This ask.UWindsor article outlines the steps for a student to find their enrolment appointment time.

Resources
There are several resources available to help students register in courses:
SWAP: AN IMPORTANT REMINDER
In UWinsite Student, a student is automatically enrolled from a waitlisted class, but how they set it up depends on their course load. SWAP is the correct way of getting onto a waitlist if a student is enrolling in a full course load. This ask.UWindsor article outlines waitlist scenarios as well as when and how to properly use the SWAP function.
