Welcome to the Registrar's Office
The Registrar’s Office supports teaching and learning at Acadia by maintaining the integrity of academic policies and student records. We help with many academic and non-academic questions – registration, degree audits, prerequisites, verification of enrolment, transfer credits, important dates, examinations, academic regulations, and more.
We are pleased to announce that course registration for Fall/Winter 2024/25 is open now and will continue until the add/drop date in September (the 13th).
