    • If yes, you can either ‘Logout’ or register for another seminar by clicking ‘Undergraduate’ and repeating the above process.

    Note: American and Canadian Studies students registering for activities on Q41103 American Literature 1 will need to click ‘Activity’ and then follow the above instructions from 5. again to register for Seminar 2.

    If you wish to remove yourself from a seminar group after you have logged out of the system, follow steps 1-8 again.
