Course changes


Note: For ROSI hours on deadline dates, go to www.rosi.utoronto.ca/hours.html
Students may add courses or drop courses without academic penalty through ROSI up to the dates stated in the Sessional Dates section of this Calendar. The deadlines for adding or dropping courses are strictly applied.
Students who make changes through ROSI should end their transaction by listing their courses to ensure that the change has been processed properly. They will not receive written confirmation of the change but it will be recorded in the Activity log kept by the University which can be accessed through ROSI.
At the time students add a course to their record they are accepting responsibility for fees payment for it. Students who drop courses by the appropriate deadline may be entitled to a fees adjustment. (See the fees refund schedule and information published each session by Student Accounts at www.fees.utoronto.ca

Adding a course

Some courses have restricted admission and may require approval before students are allowed to enrol in them. Restricted courses and the approval required are listed in the timetable at www.utsc.utoronto.ca/timetable

Changing meeting sections in a course

Students may change meeting sections in a course at any time provided that, if the change takes place after the deadline for adding the course, they have appropriate approval. Approval normally comes from the instructor of the new meeting section or from the course coordinator. Changes must be recorded at the Registrar's Office through ROSI (until the last day to add the course) and on a section change request form thereafter. Note: For some course sections, changes are not permitted on ROSI - these are listed in the timetable at www.utsc.utoronto.ca/timetable

Dropping a course

There are two academic deadlines for dropping courses. (See the "Sessional Dates" section of this Calendar.)
  • If students withdraw from a course by the earlier deadline, no record of registration is shown on the student's transcript.
  • If students withdraw from a course by the later deadline, the course remains on the student's record with a grade of LWD indicating late withdrawal. Students are permitted to withdraw late from a maximum of 3.0 credits during their studies within the University of Toronto Scarborough, the Faculty of Arts and Science or the University of Toronto Mississauga.
If students cease to complete course requirements but do not withdraw officially by the later deadline, a grade based on the marks awarded (including a zero for any incomplete work) will be recorded.
 
Students are not permitted to cancel or withdraw from a course in which an allegation of academic misconduct is pending from the time of the alleged offence until the final disposition of the accusation. Such courses are designated GWR until the allegation is resolved.

Withdrawal from the session

Students who drop all their current courses and do not intend to enrol in any other course in that session (Summer, Fall or Winter) must cancel their registration through ROSI. Note: Refunds of incidental fees are determined by the date of the cancellation of registration and not the date on which the last course was dropped.
Students dropping all their courses in a session may wish to speak to an Academic Advisor or Registrar's Office staff about the academic and financial consequences of withdrawal.
