Enrolment
At York, enrolment in courses is completed through the registration
and enrolment system which can be accessed through the Web at
www.yorku.ca, click on Current Students, then click on Courses and
Enrolment.
ENROLMENT ACCESS
Each student is assigned an enrolment access day and time. As a newly
admitted first year student, your initial enrolment in courses will take
place during your enrolment appointment. You will enrol in courses
during your enrolment appointment by accessing the Web. Once your
enrolment access begins, you will be able to use the registration and
enrolment system to add courses until the last day to enrol, and to
drop courses until the last day to drop without receiving a grade. These
dates are outlined in the Sessional Dates in the New Students’
Handbook.
Computers are available for enrolment use at the Student Academic
Centre during your enrolment appointment. For access to the registration
and enrolment system after your appointment, go to www.yorku.ca and
click on Current Students, then click on Courses and Enrolment. Please
note that it is unacceptable to use computer programs or scripts to gain
access to the registration and enrolment system.
To confirm your intention to attend York, you must pay an enrolment
deposit of $450 within 5 business days of your initial enrolment in
courses to be considered officially registered in your courses.
PASSPORT YORK
Passport York is York’s primary method of online authentication. You
must sign up for your Passport York username and password so that
you can log into York’s online services for students. Passport York
determines which services you are able to access.

time you go to an application that requires the Passport York login,
click on the button that says New Student Sign Up!
The next screen will ask you to login with your student number and
date of birth. Follow the steps as they are listed. You will be asked to
give yourself a Passport York username and password. It is important
that you remember what you choose.
Once you have both your Passport York username and password, you
can access the various online services for students.
If you have forgotten your Passport York username and password, click
on any application that requires Passport York and then click on Forgot
your password or username?
STEPS TO ENROLMENT AND REGISTRATION

consultation with an advisor.
Before you begin your initial enrolment in courses:
1. Organize your enrolment materials.
2. Select your courses according to your program requirements or
interests.

courses for restrictions/placement/special permission required. It is
your responsibility to ensure you meet the course prerequisites.

lecture. Be sure to schedule all components into your timetable.

appointment.
