Students can check whether they have to take ELC courses, and which courses they should take, by going to the Academic Information Management System (AIMS) through the CityU e-Portal.

ELC courses are included in the Master Schedule, which is posted in AIMS about three weeks before the beginning of each semester and summer term. Course registration is done online during the add/drop period but may close early.

Students should read the course registration notes before registering. Some courses are open only to certain students. Some have conditions that must be met before the course can be taken. The online system will normally reject an attempt to register for an inappropriate course.

Add/drop requests after the close of online registration must be made directly to the ELC.

Online registration is not available for courses offered outside regular teaching periods or courses with an N under Web in the Master Schedule. Other procedures will be announced. Special arrangements are also made for students who are required to pass an ELC course exam without attending the course.

The ELC reserves the right to:
Cancel any inappropriate registration
Cancel any class or change the class schedule without prior notice if necessary.
