Q. How do you use your online registration site?
Q. I don't know my Ontario Education Number (OEN)?
If you are 21 years or older, you do not need to enter this number. However, you will be asked if you have a valid transcript when you officially register. To avoid any registration issues, please obtain a transcript.
You can obtain this number from your TRANSCRIPT. The number is located on the upper portion of the transcript and it is also located on the upper portion of your report card and course credit counselling summary. You may also contact your day school for this number.
Q. Is there a problem with Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail/Hanmail addresses?
We are aware with specific issues using these free email services. The issues often occur with students who have email addresses with multicharacters such as yy84idjg@hotmail.com will be rejected by our email server since it may mark your email address as spam, therefore blocking messages to your address. PLEASE NOTE: Email addresses that have sexual, profantity or suggestive content will also be rejected from our email server.
Students using HANMAIL.NET are asked to use another email service. There is a problem with the chinese character strings that are added to each email that is sent.
Q: The course is listed as AVAILABLE on your website. Why didn't I received an ACCEPTANCE EMAIL?
A: Our site will list the course as AVAILABLE as long as it is not FULL. The night/saturday/summer school principal will contact all the students on the wait list. If a student from the wait list has dropped or not attending the class, then the principal will continue to choose students in sequence until it reaches yours. This depends on how many spaces are available and how many students are on the wait list.

If you are an adult, select "Other" for Day School Board box and under Day School Name select "Adult (21 and over)"
Q. Can I request more than one course?
Yes you can. Our online request website (Online Course Request) allows you to request for more than one course for that one school.

Q. Can I earn more than one credit per semester?
For Night school: Yes you can earn more than one credit by enrolling at different school locations. The registration website can accept more than one course request. In order to request more courses, you have to fill out and place another registration request through our website. TCDSB students can simply ask their guidance department. If you attending day school it is not recommended that you attempt more than 2 night school courses or eClass courses.
For Summer School: No you cannot earn more than one credit simply because the all courses run at the same time. Those students who attempt to register for more than one course at more than one location will only be accepted in to one location where that requested course is available. We will take the first request submitted on our server.
PLEASE NOTE: If a student registers for eClass Online Courses and is accepted, this will automatically remove all other attempts to register at another site due to the fact that we technically accommodate a large* number of students for summer school eClass.
EXCEPTIONS: Students are allowed to take both Career Studies GLC2O and Civics CHV2O at the same time. A separate registration form is required for each course. These courses are also available through eClass Online Courses.
