Registration Tips:
1. We do not keep waitlists for any summer courses. If you do not get the course you want, keep checking back on our website. In some cases additional course sections will be added. Spaces will open up anytime between now and early July as students cancel their registrations.

2. Do not use your phone to register, use a desktop computer or laptop. For best results when registering, Coquitlam Continuing Education encourages users to use Google Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge to browse this website.

Under the Browse menu at the top left, select Summer Learning, then select the category that applies to you. Or use the search field in the top right corner to search by course title or four-digit class ID number.

Materials Fees
Some courses require a $35 fee, payable upon registration, to cover consumables, supplies, or course workbooks. Please click on the name of the class when browsing to see if a $35 fee applies. If you have concerns about the affordability of this fee at this time, please email summerlearninginfo@sd43.bc.ca to request a waiver.
