You can register 24 hours a day during the registration period except when the system is shut down for maintenance.
Please go to the Academic Calendar information page to for all important dates during the semester.
Paper progression charts are no longer mailed to returning students. Returning students are asked to log into MyDawson, go to myOmnivox Services and click on Progression Chart. In addition to their proposed (“to do F20”) courses on the Progression Chart, Academic Advisors may also have posted comments to further guide the students with registration.
New students in Fall 2020 may also see their progression charts at My College Services – Progression Chart and Important Registration Info.
The Fall 2020 Timetable and Registration Guide is now available online. Students access the timetable by logging into MyDawson and finding the link under My College Services.
Please note, the timetable is no longer printed by the College.
At the moment of your Omnivox appointment time and during the online registration period, you could ask a trusted friend or family member to register for you, as long as he or she has your student number, Omnivox password and access to your Progression Chart. If instead, you need to ask someone to register for you in person (that is, after the end of online registration), you should fill out a proxy form, available at the 2D.6 counter or you can download the Proxy Registration Form.
Students in most programs, with the exception of Liberal Arts students and returning students in General Social Science, will be assigned some or all of their program-specific education (concentration) courses. When courses are assigned, it means that spaces are reserved for you in appropriate courses. You will still have to add remaining courses and finalize your registration. Remember: even if you are only taking assigned courses, you still have to finalize your registration.
The deadlines to finalize your Fall 2020 registration are:
August 17, 2020 at 11:30 p.m. for RETURNING students in a Day program
August 27, 2020 at 11:30 p.m. for NEW students in a Day program (and students who have been expelled but re-admitted by the appeals committee)
Log onto MyDawson. Assigned courses will be found under My Omnivox Services, Course Schedule Inquiry. They will be on the system just prior to your registration date.
In addition to your specific education ( concentration ) courses, you must also take the general education and complementary courses indicated on your Progression Chart for the semester you are entering. These courses are indicated as “to do F20” (Fall 2020) on your Progression Chart; this is accessed by returning students by logging into MyDawson, and under My College Services, clicking on Progression Chart and Important Registration Info.
You may also find useful information on how to use the Omnivox registration system by consulting the How to Register video.
A full course load refers to the number of courses you are expected to take each semester so as to complete all your courses in the usual period of time. You may request a reduced course load by logging on to MyDawson, and under My College Services, click on Reduced Course Load Request.
Reducing your course load may have consequences on your time to graduation. Please consult an Academic Advisor during a drop-in session if you are unclear on the impact of reducing your course load.
Only in very exceptional circumstances and with special permission from the Registrar. Students should call the Help Line (514-931-5701) to obtain permission.
