Booking Process


Are you a new student?

New students have accepted an offer of admission and are preparing for their first term at York. They have not yet begun classes. Advising appointments to help with course selection and preparing for university can be scheduled at any time during this period.


Are you a current student?

All students who have begun classes at York (including first year students in their first term) can meet with an academic advisor based on their program. Please use the list below to select the department that your program belongs to.

Please note that academic advisors are not able to assist with enrolling students into courses that are full or reserved. For course permission requests, please follow up directly with the department offering the course.

*If you are unable to access our queue or get an appointment with an advisor, please email the LA&PS Academic Advising Services office at laps@yorku.ca. If you have additional questions or concerns after reaching out to advising, please email Leah Semmelhaack, Manager, Student Success & Academic Advising at lsemmel@yorku.ca.
