How to Register for Courses When you know which courses you want to take, use the following forms to begin the registration process: VST Students: Program Planning Form (signed by the student and Registrar) Plus: Registration Form 2012-2013 Non-VST Students seeking degree credit: Registration Form 2012-2013 Auditing Student: Auditing Registration Form 2012-2013 Forms can be obtained from the Registrar’s Office or downloaded from VST’s website. Once the form is completed, an appointment should be made with the Registrar at (604) 822-9563 or registrar@vst.edu. In certain cases this appointment can take place over the phone or via email. Once you have been registered, you will be sent an invoice which will include your course confirmation. Students should check with the Accounting Office at 604-822-3550 with questions regarding any outstanding amount still owed to VST. You will greatly assist us by advising us promptly should you wish to change or drop courses. Note that all students must be registered before attending any class.
