Registration, Waitlists and Requirements

WRDS 2026S Summer Session Registration

After the initial registration period in March seats may open up closer to the start of terms, as students make adjustments to their course timetables. Space permitting, you are welcome to register yourself into any open section of WRDS 150 or WRDS 151, depending upon your faculty designation, up until the Add/Drop date of the term.

Registration priority will be given to students who follow the steps below:

  • Make available space on your course timetable to avoid conflict with other courses.

Taking WRDS 150 significantly changed my perspective on academic research. I was exposed to scholarly articles that explored various issues in international development, hence getting a head-start on the questions I would face as an international economics student.
