Registration for the 2021-2022 Fall and Winter session will open for newly admitted students on July 5th.

The codes FA, WI and FW indicate the term in which a course is offered.

FA = fall (September to December) and courses are typically worth 3 credits.
WI = winter (January to April) and courses are typically worth 3 credits.
FW = fall and winter (September to April) and courses are typically worth 6 credits.

Students taking a 30-credit load should register in no more than five courses in the fall term and five courses in the winter term. Students in a 24- credit load may have no more than four courses in both the fall and winter terms.

All courses allow you to place yourself on a waiting list if they are full. If you are on a waiting list and an opening becomes available, an email will be sent to your Nipissing University student email address notifying you that a space is available.

You will then have 72 hours to register for the course on WebAdvisor. If you do not register within the time allowed, you will be removed from the waiting list, so be sure to check your student email daily.

Your Nipissing University student email is the only email account the university can use to communicate with you. Your student email can be accessed through the My Nipissing Portal at www.my.nipissingu.ca.

Your transfer credit will be processed once you have accepted your offer of admission and submitted your final official college and/or university transcript(s) showing all final grades and/or diploma/degree awarded (if applicable). When you request your final transcripts(s), please ensure that the transcript is showing all the necessary information required to meet any conditions of your offer of admission. Once your transfer credit has been processed, you will be able to view it on WebAdvisor under Summary of Transfer Credits (under the Prospective Students menu) or under Unofficial Transcript (under the Students menu – only accessible after June 30). The unofficial transcript will provide any applicable notes in regard to your transfer credit.
