Welcome to U of T Engineering! 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. Our goal is to give you the tools you need to make informed decisions during your first year of studies.

The First Year Office is currently closed to in-person traffic; however, staff and advisors are still available to assist you (see below for contact details).
Advising appointments will be held by Microsoft Teams or phone. If you wish to book an appointment with an advisor, you can do so through the Advising Portal. If you are in another time zone and require an appointment outside of the hours available, please email your advisor and we will try to accommodate you.
