Academic Advising FAQ

Your level of study (year) determines your enrolment appointment in July. This is the date the system opens to you and will remain open until the course add deadline.

To view your enrolment appointment: 

1. Log in to your Student Center.

2. Select the details link under the Enrolment Dates section. 

3. Review your enrolment appointment for the term you wish to add courses for. 

4. Use Draft My Schedule to help build an individual conflict free class schedule. 

-NOTE: this tool does not import to student centre, you still need to manually enroll your courses.

For second-term courses, you can register on the Student Centre through the Fall term and into early January. 

While online course registration is open, you can register in courses through the Student Center.

If you don’t meet minimum progression requirements, you will be placed on probation. You can continue your studies, but must meet certain conditions: you are permitted to take only 4.0 credits, and all of them must be taken at King’s; you must achieve a term average of 60%, and no failures are allowed. You cannot appeal being placed on probation. If you are placed on probation, you will be contacted by the Academic Dean's Office to outline the steps moving forward in your academic journey.

A student who does not meet minimum progression requirements for continuation of study, or who has exceeded the maximum number of failed courses allowed (6.0 credits), will be required to withdraw for a period of twelve months.

Students who were required to withdraw may apply for readmission after their twelve-month absence. NOTE: Readmission is not automatic.
