Before Registration
Ensure the student has a Coquitlam Continuing Education profile.
Instructions for creating or updating profiles are below.
How Lottery Registration Works
During the Lottery Registration Window
- Login into your student or household profile and request up to 5 courses. Requests beyond the first five will be removed before the lottery.
- If you select multiple courses, prioritize your choices.
Only request classes that students are able to attend if selected. Be mindful when requesting classes at different locations. Children within the same household may be placed at separate schools.
Elementary & Middle Lottery Results
Scenario A: Student Receives a Seat in a Requested Course
- No fee - you will receive a confirmation of registration email; no further action is needed.
- If there is a material fee - you will receive an email notifying that the student has been selected. You will need to login and "Pay Now" to complete the registration and secure your spot.
- You will receive an email indicating the student has been temporarily placed on the waiting list for all courses for which they were not selected.
- These lists will be automatically cleared shortly after the lottery has run. We do not maintain waitlists.
Families/students can continue checking for newly available seats up until the start of Summer Learning.
Secondary Lottery Results
(different from Elementary/Middle)
Scenario A: Student Receives a Seat in a Requested Course
(different from Elementary/Middle)
- The student will receive an email notifying that they have been selected for a course.
- The email will instruct students to login and complete the registration for the course(s) by midnight on Monday, May 11. It is possible that a student will receive both a morning and afternoon class if more than one class was selected. If the student only wants one of the classes, they only need to register in the one they want and remove the other.
- Seats not claimed/registered for by the deadline (May 11) will be assigned to students on the waiting list.
- Students will receive an email indicating they have been temporarily placed on the waiting list for all courses for which they were not selected.
- Any seats not claimed in Scenario A by Monday, May 11 will be given to waitlisted students in chronological order. This process will be completed between Tuesday, May 12 – Thursday, May 14.
- After classes fill, all waitlists are cleared end of day May 14th

Public Registration opens after the lottery concludes, beginning May 15, 2026.
Families/students can continue checking for newly available seats up until the start of Summer Learning.
Returning Students
Most returning Summer Learning or Coquitlam Open Learning students already have a profile. Your username is your email address.
- Review and update student details (age, grade, school, contact email) in My Profile, Edit Profile.
- If you forget your password, use the Forgot your password? option to avoid being locked out.
Create a profile if the student is new to Summer Learning or Coquitlam Continuing Education.
- Do not create more than one profile per student.
Registering multiple children? You can create a Household Profile to manage all students in one account.
Household Profile Instructions
You will be contacted and asked to provide documentation confirming eligibility for tuition-free enrollment (e.g., residency and Canadian status).
- Use a desktop or laptop computer, not a mobile phone.
- For best performance, use Google Chrome or Firefox.
