Your first semester
- Your program chair publishes a recommended course list, with each course marked pre-registered or student-selected.
- How many courses are pre-registered depends on the program; some pre-register several, others none.
- Add your own courses to reach your load. A standard full-time load is 15 credits a semester.
- There are separate lists for students coming from CEGEP and from high school or college outside Quebec.
