The First Year Office is here to help you make a successful transition to a new and exciting learning environment at the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Many general questions can be addressed by our First-year Coordinator, and you can also make an appointment with your Academic Advisor for detailed information and advice.
Some of the topics we can assist you with are:
- Questions about your program of study
- Course load options and upper-year course information
- Academic success supports
- Personal matters and referrals to campus resources
Did you know there’s a new feature in the Engineering Portal? U of T Engineering’s Advising Portal allows you to book advising appointments, review upcoming and past appointments and includes all appointment-related notes, referral information and links to University resources.
