Registration information for incoming graduate students

Registering for your first semester

In late June or early July before your first semester, you will receive information from Graduate Studies which will tell you how to activate your registration online, using WebAdvisor.  You'll be told to register by enrolling in these two “dummy” courses:

  • UNIV 7510, “Active FT Registration” (any section is ok)
  • UNIV 7500, “Research/Writing”

Shortly following that, in late July/early August, the Philosophy Department Graduate Coordinator will contact you to set up a meeting to help you select your philosophy courses for the upcoming year. It is important to wait until after this meeting before registering for these courses in order to ensure that all the prerequisites (MA) or area requirements (PhD) for your program are fulfillled. (For more information, see the MA Program Regulations  or PhD Program Regulations.)
 

Graduate  Settlement

Students receiving awards on their account are not required to complete the Graduate Settlement. The award is automatically applied to their tuition and fees.

Effective Winter 2025, Payroll deductions is no longer an accepted payment method for students’ accounts. The Graduate Settlement will be discontinued. The Financial Arrangement Request Form is available. This arrangement provides students with the option to pay their tuition over 3 installments throughout the semester.

If you have any further questions about this, do not hesitate to contact the department's Graduate Secretary.
