Thesis

As you prepare for the upcoming registration period, please take note of the following specific instructions regarding PNB 4D09 and PNB 4D06. To ensure your enrollment goes smoothly, please keep these five points in mind:

• The “A” Portion Only: When registering, you will only be able to select the A portion of the course.
• Automatic Enrollment: Once you have successfully registered for the A portion, the system will automatically register you for portion B. You do not need to add portion B manually.
• Course Conflicts: If you intend to take another course that conflicts with PNB 4D09 or PNB 4D06, you must complete a Course Conflict Form through your home faculty office. Please note that conflict forms are not handled by the PNB office.
• Accidental Drops: If you register for PNB 4D09/4D06 and accidentally drop the course for any reason, you will lose your enrollment permissions. To have these re-added, you must email pnb@mcmaster.ca immediately.
• General Enrollment Issues: For any other PNB enrollment concerns, please consult our website for detailed guidance: Academic Advising – Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour.

We appreciate your patience during the busy enrollment period and encourage you to make full use of the resources available online.
