The Academic Services team is committed to supporting you throughout your whole degree at King’s. Whether you are wondering about course registration, degree requirements, program requirements, Honours applications, or anything else to do with King’s – we are here to help you!
You can meet with the Academic Services team online or in person. Make an advising appointment by emailing registrar@ukings.ca. Appointments are offered in half-hour slots from Monday to Friday, 9 am.-4 p.m.
We know that you want your studies to engage you fully, to bring you closer to answering important questions and to provide you with skills you can use after graduation. The question is: what program or programs will do this most effectively for you?
Review and download the What’s Next? Advising Guide [PDF], and the timetable below for resources that will help you make your choice on an area of study.
The What’s Next? guide is published each year at the start of the Winter term. It helps students with course selection and degree planning for the following academic year.
At King’s, you can pursue a Major, Double Major, Concentrated Honours or Combined Honours degree. Learn about how to apply for an honours degree and the requirements for completing it.

Welcome back to another year at King’s. Here’s a refresher on how to register:
The Dal Online system does not check for timetable conflicts. It is your responsibility to make sure that your classes aren’t scheduled at overlapping times. You can use the Class Schedule feature when registering to double check. Dal Online may identify a timetable conflict even if there is not, if a Lecture and its Tutorial or Lab happen at the same time.
Students must apply to pursue an honours application. Learn about the difference between a major and honours degree and the process for applying for an honours degree.
As a King’s student in good standing, once you have completed your first year of study you may be eligible to take classes at other universities and have them count toward your degree here at King’s. There are a number of important steps you must complete before taking the class, in order to receive credit for the course as part of your degree here at King’s. This process can be lengthy—get started early.
