I have the right prerequisite(s) but I can’t register for a course

If you can't register despite having the right course prerequisites, please follow these instructions:

  1. Ensure your cookies are enabled and you're not browsing in private or incognito mode.
  2. Ensure the system recognizes your login. If you are signed in to the UBC Extended Learning registration system, you will see at the top right of the page "Hi, your first name." If you have already signed in, but you don't see your name at the top right, this means your login is not being recognized properly. If this is the case, please sign out and then sign back in.
