2023 Summer Enrolment & Registration Guide

To officially register for the Summer Term, you must complete the following two steps:

1. Enrol in a course. Enrolment in Engineering courses opens on April 6, 2023, at 6 a.m.
2. Pay the associated fees by April 26, 2023. The invoice for Summer Term courses will be posted in ACORN on April 17, 2023.

Enrolment Dates

Please review the 2023 Summer Term dates and deadlines in the Academic Calendar.

The first day you may enrol in engineering elective courses in ACORN is April 6, 2023, at 6:00 a.m. Review the engineering elective course timetable on Timetable Builder for the courses offered, times, locations and important notes. The 2023 Summer Term courses are also available on the Engineering Timetable.

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

Important Note: Academic drop dates may not coincide with the financial refund dates. Please review 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.

 

Wait Lists

Wait lists are available for engineering elective courses from the start of course enrolment on April 6, 2023. Wait lists will run until the following dates:

• F and Y courses: Until May 11, 2023
• S courses: Until July 7, 2023

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

After the wait lists are closed, course enrolment for courses that previously had wait lists becomes first-add, first-serve. During this period, you should try to enrol using ACORN. The dates for this period are:

• F and Y courses: May 11 to 14, 2023
• S courses: July 7 to 10, 2023

It is important to officially cancel a course as soon as you decide to drop it since fee refunds are calculated according to the date the cancellation is recorded. Courses not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures. Any cancellations past the first refund date will result in less than a 100% refund. Please visit the Student Accounts website for detailed fee schedules.

Invoice & Payment

To complete the registration process, you must pay the associated fees by April 26, 2023. The invoice for Summer Term courses will be posted in ACORN on April 17, 2023.

If you pay your Summer Term fees or officially defer your payment by April 26, 2023, your registration will be processed automatically. Your status on ACORN will change to “REG” once your registration is completed.

If you pay or defer your fees after the deadline, you must email your fees receipt (image/screenshot of the paid statement from the bank or printout of the online transaction) to the Office of the Registrar at registrar@engineering.utoronto.ca by May 10, 2023.

The financial cancellation deadline is on May 10, 2023. If a payment or deferral is not received by May 10, your registration will be cancelled and your courses will be removed.

Important Note: Please be aware that the wait list for F and Y courses ends on May 11, which is one day after the financial cancellation deadline on May 10. If you are not enrolled in at least one course and your status is not “REG” on ACORN by May 10, then your registration for the Summer Term will be cancelled.

 

OSAP Deferral

You may request to defer your tuition fees on ACORN if you have no outstanding fees from previous terms and you applied for OSAP by April 26, 2023. Please be aware that the deferral is not automatic and must be completed in ACORN.

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

Please retain your dated fee receipt in case you may need it at a later date.

Students with an unpaid balance from a previous academic session are not permitted to register for a new academic session before their outstanding balance is paid. Please visit the Student Accounts website for more information on deferrals.

 

Automatic Registration & Course Cancellation Deadline

Your registration is automatically processed after you enrol in a course and pay the fees. Your status on ACORN will change to “REG” once your registration is completed.

If your registration (payment or OSAP deferral) is not completed by May 10, 2023, your registration will be cancelled and your courses will be removed from your schedule.

Important Note for S Courses: Please note that the last day to add an S course for the Summer Term is after the financial cancellation deadline on May 10. If you are interested in taking an S course, we highly recommend you register before the May 10 deadline to avoid having to be re-instated into courses. Students must be enrolled in at least one Summer Term course and pay 50% of the required fees to maintain their Summer Term registration. Once registered, a student may add or drop courses according to the published deadlines on the Academic Calendar.

 

Missed the Registration Deadline

We strongly recommend students complete their registration as early as possible to guarantee their course selection.

Students who have been removed from their courses because they did not complete their registration by May 10 and would like to be re-instated into them must do so before 4:00 p.m. on May 14, 2023.

To be re-instated, students must email the Registrar’s Office at registrar@engineering.utoronto.ca, pay a $61 late registration fee, and show proof of payment or deferral. Please be advised that you may not be able to 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.

 

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 their academic division, as set out in the Academic 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. The full details are available at Student Accounts.

Students may view the available Engineering summer courses and their information on Timetable Builder. The 2023 Summer Term courses are also available on the Engineering Timetable.

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.

All final exams will be assumed to be in person. Consult with your instructor on the first day of classes. For other Faculties, please review their timetables and course delivery plans.

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

• If you plan to take a summer course in Arts & Science as a credit towards your engineering degree, you are strongly encouraged to speak with your Academic Advisor prior to enrolling to confirm whether the course is eligible.
• If you plan to take a Summer Term course to complete a Humanities and Social Science (HSS), Complementary Studies (CS) or Free Elective requirement, please consult with 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 tuition charges for cancelled courses.
• The refund schedule for U of T 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 in or wait list 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 2023 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 11, 2023, 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 2023 Summer Term dates for Arts & Science courses.

Use the Calendar and Summer timetable to decide which courses you wish to take. Make sure to double-check the time of the courses to avoid any conflicts. Timetable Builder allows you to make a mock schedule to help you identify any potential conflicts. Please be aware that ACORN does not check for time conflicts — it is your responsibility to create a conflict-free schedule.

Please carefully observe pre-requisites, co-requisites and exclusions indicated in the Academic Calendar course descriptions. Definitions can be found in the Calendar. Please be aware that prerequisites, co-requisites and exclusions are not checked by ACORN when you select the courses. However, you will be removed from the course if you do not meet the requirements. 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.

Important Note: Academic drop dates are not financial refund dates. Please note the 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.

 

Enrolment Controls

Enrolment controls are used to determine criteria and 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 listed 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 summer timetable. Please note that Engineering students cannot register for Arts & Science courses before April 11, 2023, at 6 a.m. regardless of an enrolment control or enrolment indicator.

 

Wait Lists

All lecture meeting sections, except for "E" indicator courses, have wait lists. Wait lists enable you to get in a queue for a space that may become available in a full lecture section or a full enrolment category. If space becomes available and you are next on the wait list, you will be automatically enrolled. It is your responsibility to check ACORN periodically to monitor your status.

Wait lists are available for Engineering students taking Arts & Science courses during the following periods:

• F and Y courses: April 11 to May 11, 2023
• S courses: April 11 to July 7, 2023

After the wait lists are closed, course enrolment for courses that previously had wait lists becomes first-add, first-serve. During this period, you should try to enrol using ACORN. The dates for this period are:

• F and Y courses: May 11 to 14, 2023
• S courses: July 7 to 10, 2023

It is important to officially cancel a course as soon as you decide to drop it since fee refunds are calculated according to the date the cancellation is recorded. Courses not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures. Any cancellations past the first refund date will result in less than a 100% refund. Please visit the Student Accounts website for detailed fee schedules.

Important Note: 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 through the wait 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 to verify that you have added or cancelled courses correctly. ACORN will list courses and meeting sections you are enrolled in when using this feature.

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

 

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.
