Welcome to Mohawk College, we are excited to have you as part of our campus community. You are just a few steps away from becoming a fully registered Mohawk College student! To help you get started on time and with confidence, please complete the following mandatory steps. 

Step 1: Upload your study permit to iCent or OCAS

Now that you have arrived and have received your study permit from the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), please upload a scanned copy of your study permit in one of two ways:

  • OCAS-IAS:Log in to OCAS- IAS (can’t login?) and upload your Study Permit under the "Visa Documents" tab.
  • The iCent app: if you are using the ICENT app, please complete this step upon arrival in Canada. Upload your Study Permit under the “Check-in with Us” icon. For assistance or questions, contact: support [at] iCent.app (support[at]iCent[dot]app) .

Download Instructions for iCent app.

Step 2: Update your Current Address and Emergency Contact Information: Help Us Stay Connected

Please take a moment to update your current address and emergency contact information. This is an important step that is  required before you can register for your classes, and it helps us support you if anything unexpected comes up. MyMohawk: (recommended): Log in to MyMohawk, Click on the International Students Tab on the right, then click on Personal Information -> Update my address and Update my Emergency Contacts.


Important: Study Permit Hold on Your Account
To help ensure you are fully prepared for your studies; a study permit hold has been placed on your student account. This means you will not be able to select your timetable until the required information in Step 1 and 2 have been completed.

Once we receive your documents, our team will remove this hold within 2 business days. If you do not receive confirmation after that time, you are welcome to visit us in person at the Fennell Campus, Room J137 for assistance. Please note: During busy times at the start of term, it may take a little longer to process your request—we appreciate your patience and understanding!

Step 3: Timetable selection

Timetable selection opens approximately one month before the start of the term. Refer to Mohawk’s important dates calendar to confirm when timetables are available for your term and program, then

  • Log into My Mohawk Portal using your Mohawk College ID and your password.

  • Select registration from the left-hand side menu. Under "post-secondary students," click "Choose or change my timetable." You can then select your timetable.
