Registering early gives you the best opportunity to take courses on the days/times that are most convenient for you.

Changing your program on Bear Tracks - only for students who have already been ADMITTED to an ALES program from another faculty/program

Not sure how to register?

1) Look at your program checksheet (attached to your electronic admission letter and also available online by program) to see the courses you need to take.  Transfer students should also review their checksheet and note the courses where transfer credit has been given.

2) Log on to Bear Tracks and use the step by step guide to build your class timetable and register in courses.

3) Remember to pay your confirmation deposit to avoid having your course registration cancelled, and ensure that all final documents are submitted to the U of A Registrar's Office by the posted deadline.
