Congratulations on accepting your offer! Welcome to McMaster Class of 2029.

The Office of the Registrar is here to help you navigate your journey as a McMaster Marauder. Follow the steps to learn how to enrol (register) in your courses, figure out how to pay tuition, find important deadlines and more. Spend time looking up clubs and activities you might join, learn about the McMaster Student Union and Student Success Centre and what they offer to new students.

Stay connected with your future peers and join the Class of 2029 Discord community where you’ll connect with future classmates, current McMaster students, and recruitment staff to stay up to date on upcoming events, university life, and so much more.

Some international students applying for a new study permit will now also need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from the province of Ontario. As you prepare to study at McMaster, please complete the McMaster PAL Tool to see if you require an attestation letter.
