Course Directory

You can refer to the Graduate Program Manual for information about registration such as:

• How to register using Bear Tracks
• Making changes to registration
• Maintaining registration in your program
• Auditing a course
• Withdrawing from the University

If you have further questions, please email the Grad Program Advisor for assistance.

The Office of the Registrar sets the registration deadlines for each term.

You can continue to add, drop, and change classes in your schedule until the add/drop deadline in each term. After that deadline, if you drop or withdraw from a course, you will still need to pay some or all of the tuition fee for that course, and that course will appear on your transcript.

Full-time thesis-based students must be registered in ★9 credits per term in both the Fall and Winter ( 6.10 Full-time Registration Policy).

You may need to register in thesis sections in combination with regular course registrations in order to achieve ★9 credits of course weight for registration status.

• THES 903: equivalent to a ★3 credit course
• THES 906: equivalent to a ★6 credit course
• THES 909: equivalent to a ★9 credit course

Most course registration is first-come, first-served.

If there is a class you want to take but it is already full, you can place that class on your Watch List in Bear Tracks. When a space becomes available in that class, you will be notified by email or SMS (along with anyone else who has that class on their Watch List) and will have an opportunity to register on a first-come, first-served basis.

Priority for CMPUT courses is given to students in our program, so you may not be able to enroll on Bear Tracks. If you are interested in taking Computing Science courses and are not in our department:

• Email (from your @ualberta account) the instructor who teaches the course, to request written permission.
  • Note: It is up to the instructor of the course to decide if you are eligible to enroll. Even if space is available, it does not guarantee your request will be approved.
• Once permission is granted, forward the email of confirmation from the professor to csgradprog@ualberta.ca and include:
  
  • Your full name
  • ID number
  • Course/class number you want to enroll in
• Enrollment will be done manually by the Graduate Program Administrator.
  Once enrolled you will get an email indicating you have been enrolled and will be able to see this on Bear Tracks.
