2022 Summer Enrolment & Registration Guide

Invoice, payment and OSAP deferral

To officially register for the Summer Term you must both enrol in a course and pay fees. Invoices for Summer Term courses will be posted in ACORN on April 11, 2022.

If you pay your Summer Term fees or officially defer your payment by April 21, 2022, your registration will be processed automatically. If you pay or defer your fees after the deadline, you must email your fees receipt — image/screenshot of paid statement from the bank or printout of the online transaction — to the Office of the Registrar (registrar@engineering.utoronto.ca) by May 9, 2022.

If payment or deferral is not received by May 9, 2022, your registration will be cancelled and your courses will be removed.

Note: The financial cancellation deadline (May 9) is three days before the day waitlists end (May 12). If you're not enrolled in at least one course and your status is not "REG" by May 9, 2022, your registration in the Summer Term will be cancelled.

You may request a deferral of your fees payment if you have no outstanding fees from previous terms and you applied for OSAP by March 31, 2022. The deferral is not automatic and must be completed in ACORN.

If you need to defer your fees and did not apply for OSAP by the deadline, contact the Office of the Registrar by email at registrar@engineering.utoronto.ca to inquire about a manual deferral.

Retain your dated fees receipt in case you need it at a later date.

Please note that a student with an unpaid balance from a previous academic session is not permitted to register in a new academic session before the outstanding balance is paid. Visit the Student Accounts website for more information.

Automatic registration and course cancellation

If your registration (payment or OSAP deferral) is not recorded by May 9, 2022, your registration will be cancelled and your courses will be removed from your schedule.

Students who have been removed from their courses and would like to be re-instated into them must do so by 4:00 p.m., May 15, 2022. To be re-instated, students must email the Office of the Registrar (registrar@engineering.utoronto.ca), pay a $61 late registration fee and show proof of payment or deferral. Be advised that you may not be able to be re-enrol in a course if space is no longer available.

Outstanding financial obligations to the University — including tuition and residence charges — must be paid in full before you may register for the next academic term. Payments are first applied to outstanding debts from previous terms before they are applied to fees for the upcoming term.

The last day to add an S course for the Summer Term is later than the deadline to pay for a Summer Term course. Students must enrol in at least one Summer Term course and pay 50% of the required fees in order to maintain a Summer Term registration. Once registered, a student may add or drop courses according to published deadlines. Students attempting to add an S course without first registering before the payment deadline will not be able to do so.

Obligations of the student

Students who enrol in courses agree, by virtue of that enrolment, to abide by all of the academic and non-academic policies, rules and regulations of the University and of his or her academic division, as set out in the divisional calendar, and confirm responsibility for payment of associated fees, and agree to ensure that the accuracy of personal information such as the current mailing address, telephone number, and utoronto.ca email address is maintained.

A student's registration is not complete until they have paid tuition and incidental fees, or have made appropriate arrangements to pay. Students who defer fee payment or whose payment is deferred pending receipt of OSAP or other awards, acknowledge that they continue to be responsible for payment of all charges, including any service charges that may be assessed. Details are available at Student Accounts.

Student timetables will include additional information about how the course content will be delivered. The course instructor will provide the specific expectations of the course. For other Faculties, please review their timetables and course delivery plans.

All final exams will be assumed to be in-person. Consult with your Instructor on the first day of classes.

2022 Summer Term Dates: Engineering Courses

The first day you may enrol in engineering elective courses in ACORN is April 5, 2022, at 6:00 a.m. Review the Engineering elective course timetable (coming soon) for courses offered, times, locations and important notes.

If the time of an engineering elective course is in conflict with another, you may only take one of the courses.

Please review the 2022 Summer Term dates and deadlines in the Academic Calendar.

Note: Academic drop dates are not financial refund dates. Note the Refund Schedule for deadlines to drop courses and receive a refund for tuition fees. ACORN access fees apply to any student accessing ACORN for course enrolment and are not refundable.

Waiting Lists

Waiting lists are available for engineering elective courses from the start of course enrolment on April 5, 2022, until May 12, 2022, for F courses and July 6, 2022, for S courses.

You are responsible for any academic and incidental fees that arise from course enrolment.

After the waiting lists are closed, course enrolment for courses that previously had waiting lists becomes first-add, first-served. The dates for this period are:

• May 13 – 15, 2022, for F and Y courses
• July 6 – 10, 2022, for S courses

During this period, you should try to enrol using ACORN.

It is important to officially cancel a course, including courses you are wait listed for, as soon as you decide to drop it. Fee refunds are calculated according to the cancellation date. Additionally, courses not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures. The detailed fee schedule is available at Student Accounts.

The first day that you may enrol in St. George campus Arts & Science Summer Term courses in ACORN is April 12, 2022, at 6:00 a.m.

Before you consider enrolling in an Arts & Science Summer Term course or engineering elective course, please review the information below:

• You are strongly encouraged to speak with your Academic Advisor prior to enrolling in an Arts & Science course. Your Advisor will confirm whether or not the course will count towards your engineering degree.
• If you plan to take a Summer Term course to complete a Humanities and Social Science (HSS), Complementary Studies (CS), or free elective requirement, you must receive approval from your Advisor.
• Courses that cannot be counted towards your engineering degree are designated as "extra." "Extra" courses are not used to calculate your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). However, "extra" credits can be used to fulfil the requirements of a minor. The decision to designate a course as credit or "Extra" must be made before the deadline to drop the course without academic penalty.
• If you are not able to meet with your Academic Advisor before the Arts & Science Summer Term enrolment date, you are advised to meet with them prior to the 100% refund date to avoid any unwanted tuition charges.
• The refund schedule for Engineering can be found at Student Accounts. Engineering students enrolled in Arts & Science and Engineering elective courses are subject to the Engineering fee and refund dates.
• You are permitted to enrol or wait in a maximum of three "H" courses or one "H" and one "Y" — a total of 1.5 credits — for the Summer Term. If you are required to take more than 1.5 credits, you must speak to your Advisor.
• The mark you obtain in a Summer Term course will not be used to calculate your Fall and Winter Term averages. However, your Summer Term course mark, provided the course was taken for degree credit, will be included in your CGPA.
• If you fail the 2022 Winter Term and are required to withdraw, your Summer Term courses will be automatically removed from your schedule and you will receive a 100% refund.

The first day you may enrol in St. George campus Arts & Science Summer Term courses in ACORN is April 12, 2022, at 6:00 a.m. Students are encouraged to make use of the University of Toronto's Timetable Builder service to search for courses and plan potential timetables.

Summer Term Dates: Arts & Science Courses

Please review the 2022 Summer Term dates for Arts & Science in the Academic Calendar.

*Academic drop dates are NOT financial refund dates. Note the for deadlines to drop courses and receive a refund for tuition fees. ACORN access fees apply to any student accessing ACORN for course enrolment and are not refundable.

Use the Calendar and Summer timetable to decide which courses you wish to take. Double-check the time for courses you have chosen to avoid conflicts. ACORN does not check for time conflicts — it is your responsibility to create a conflict-free schedule.

Pre-requisites, co-requisites and exclusions indicated in the Calendar course descriptions must be carefully observed. Refer to the Calendar for definitions. Be aware that prerequisites, co-requisites and exclusions are not checked by ACORN in real-time, but will be checked. If you do not meet them, you will be removed from the course. This can happen at any time, even after classes have started.

If you have already taken an exclusion, you will be required to withdraw from the course if discovered during the term of enrolment and will be refused degree credit in the excluded course if discovered at any time in a subsequent term.

Enrolment Controls

Enrolment controls are used to determine criteria/restrictions for enrolling in a course. Enrolment controls, if used, appear in the timetable listings. While not all courses have enrolment controls, some have multiple controls. All courses have enrolment limitations.

Unless otherwise noted, enrolment controls listed beside a course in the timetable listings apply to all lecture sections of a course.

Enrolment Indicators

Enrolment indicators are used in the "Enrolment Indicator" column of the timetable. They identify how enrolment controls are being used and/or alert you to different enrolment processes.

Read more about Enrolment Indicators and Enrolment Controls in the Arts & Science timetable. Note that Engineering students cannot register for Arts & Science courses before April 12, 2022, at 6 a.m. regardless of an enrolment control or enrolment indicator.

Waiting Lists

All lecture meeting sections, with the exception of "E" indicator courses, have waiting lists. Waiting lists enable you to get in queue for a space that may become available in a lecture section that is full, or in an enrolment category that is full.

If space becomes available and you are next on the waiting list, you will automatically be enrolled. It is your responsibility to check ACORN periodically to monitor your status.

When are waiting lists in use?

Waiting lists are available from the start of course enrolment on April 12, 2022, for Engineering students until May 12, 2022, for F/Y term code courses and July 6, 2022, for S courses.

You are also responsible for any academic and or incidental fees arising from the course enrolment.

After the waiting lists are closed, course enrolment for courses that previously had waiting lists becomes first-add, first-served. The dates for this period are:

• May 12 - 15, 2022, for F and Y section code courses
• July 6 - 10, 2022, for S section code courses

During this period, you should try to enrol using ACORN.

It is important to cancel a course officially as soon as you have decided to drop it, since fees refunds are calculated according to the date the cancellation is recorded. Courses that are not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures. Cancellation of your registration in the summer term past the first refund date will result in a less than 100% refund — refer to the Student Accounts website for details.

Changes are Immediate

Changes are recorded immediately on the student record system. When you cancel a course your space becomes immediately available for enrolment by other students, or enrolment through the waiting list function.

List Your Courses, Meeting Sections and Status

Always use the "list courses and meeting sections" option after you add or cancel courses or make changes. ACORN will list courses and meeting sections you are enrolled in when using this feature. You are charged fees for all courses in which you are enrolled. Listing your courses verifies that you have made adds and cancellations correctly.

Cancellation of Your Last Course

ACORN will warn you if you are cancelling your last course. If you do not intend to take any other courses in the Summer Term, choose "cancel registration." This will ensure your fees will be adjusted.

If you intend to enrol in other courses later in the term, do not cancel your registration. This will allow you to use ACORN later in the Summer Term to add courses.
