Important Notices
- Changes in Programs of Study (Subject POSts) and/or Courses
The programs of study that the Calendar lists and describes are available for the year(s) to which the Calendar applies. They may not necessarily be available in later years. If the University or the Faculty must change the content of programs of study or withdraw them, all reasonable possible advance notice and alternative instruction will be given. The University will not, however, be liable for any loss, damages, or other expenses that such changes might cause.
For each program of study offered by the University through the Faculty, the courses necessary to complete the minimum requirements of the program will be made available annually. We must, however, reserve the right otherwise to change the content of courses, instructors and instructional assignments, enrolment limitations, prerequisites and corequisites, grading policies, requirements for promotion and timetables without prior notice.

Enrolment Limitations
The University makes every reasonable effort to plan and control enrolment to ensure that all of our students are qualified to complete the programs to which they are admitted, and to strike a practicable balance between enrolment and available instructional resources. Sometimes such a balance cannot be struck and the number of qualified students exceeds the instructional resources that we can reasonably make available while at the same time maintaining the quality of instruction. In such cases, we must reserve the right to limit enrolment in the programs, courses, or sections listed in the Calendar, and to withdraw courses or sections for which enrolment or resources are insufficient. The University will not be liable for any loss, damages, or other expenses that such limitations or withdrawals might cause.
-
Copyright in Instructional Settings
If a student wishes to tape-record, audio-record, photograph, video-record or otherwise reproduce lecture presentations, course notes or other similar materials provided by instructors, he or she must obtain the instructor's written consent beforehand. Otherwise all such reproduction is an infringement of copyright and is absolutely prohibited. In the case of private use by students with disabilities, the instructor's consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
-
Person ID (Student Number)
Each student at the University is assigned a unique identification number. The number is confidential. The University, through the Policy on Access to Student Academic Records, strictly controls access to Person ID numbers. The University assumes and expects that students will protect the confidentiality of their Person IDs.

Fees and Other Charges

ACADEMIC OFFENCES ARE A SERIOUS MATTER. See the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters at www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies.htm
-
Class attendance
Class attendance is an important aspect of university studies. Though it is not mandatory, students are likely to place themselves at a distinct disadvantage if they do not attend. They cannot expect any special consideration on the grounds of non-attendance. In particular, newly-admitted students who are unable to attend during the first two weeks of classes are strongly advised to consider waiting until a future session before beginning their studies. (New students who decide to wait until a future session should contact Admissions and Student Recruitment to arrange a formal deferment of the Offer of Admission.)
-
Official correspondence
Students are responsible for ensuring that ROSI contains a valid postal address and a university-issued email address (see the Policy on Official Correspondence with Students at www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies.htm#C).
Note: Email is the University's primary method of communicating with students regarding registration, ROSI notices, student accounts and other important business. All U of T students are provided with a campus email address through the UTORmail service. Setting up a UTORmail account is mandatory for all University of Toronto students.
