On to Academic Regulations (Part I) Up to Index Search the Calendar
All
students, whether part-time or full-time, are subject to the same
admission standards, are governed by the same rules and regulations,
and are required to satisfy the same degree requirements.
It is true, however, that students whose outside
commitments prevent them from coming to the Campus during the
day may find that they have less access to services in the University
and to the informal student network. Part-time students should
try to make the time to develop contact with their fellow students
and with faculty members, since this is an integral part of the
University experience. When problems arise, evening students are
encouraged to meet with an academic counsellor (telephone (416)
287-7561). In addition, the Association of Part-time Undergraduate
Students (APUS) serves as the voice of part-time students in the
University and can be a source of help.
The same admission standards are applied to both full-time and part-time students. More information on admission for mature students and application deadlines is in the Admissions section of this Calendar. Any questions or concerns can be addressed by contacting the Assistant Registrar - Admissions at
(416) 287-7529.
Part-time students are considered for most awards
and scholarships on the same basis as full-time students. Some
special awards and bursaries for part-time students are available
through APUS. For further information see the Awards section of
this Calendar.
Part-time students are governed by the same regulations
as any other student. Students are responsible for reading through
the sections of the Calendar dealing with Academic Regulations
and Degree Requirements. When in doubt, students should contact
the Office of the Registrar or an academic counsellor for assistance
in interpreting regulations and their application in particular
cases. Several regulations of particular relevance to part-time
students are noted below. However, this list is by no means exhaustive.
The fact that a particular rule is not quoted below in no way
suggests that it will not apply.
1 Part-time students may find that degree or subject posts (programme) requirements change during their academic career. When changes occur, students are, whenever possible, allowed, sometimes for a limited period of time, to continue under the old rules. This does not usually apply to rules other than degree or programme requirements.
2 Although the University of Toronto at Scarborough attempts to make available to part-time students as many evening courses as possible, students may occasionally find that it is to their benefit to take courses on other campuses of the University. Students, of course, may not receive credit twice for courses that are deemed to be exclusions.
3 Part-time students are governed by the same regulations concerning the dropping of courses as all other students.
4 Students should be aware
that special circumstances may on occasion justify an exception
to the academic regulations. Requests for special treatment are
made by petition. Students who believe that such special consideration
is necessary may wish to meet with an academic counsellor to discuss
the appropriate form of action. Students should be aware that
special consideration may not be granted and should avoid taking
any action that will harm them if the petition is denied.
Since most students must complete Programmes and since evening course offerings are limited, evening students should plan their course selection very carefully bearing in mind pre- and co-requisites and the fact that certain courses may not be available in a particular session.
Programmes which are available in the evening are
listed below with a brief description of the availability of courses.
Students are encouraged to consult their Programme Supervisor
in planning their course selection. The summer timetable is available
in the Registrar's Office normally in February.
Each of the core courses specifically required for the Economics Major [ECMA02Y, ECMB02H/ECMC02H, ECMB06H / ECMC06H, ECMB11H / ECMB12H] is offered in the evening at least once each year usually in the summer. Students must also complete the calculus course MATA27H.
Each winter session, and in some summer sessions,
at least one other course at the B-, C-, or D-level is offered.
English courses are, as far as possible, cycled as
follows:
ENGA11Y - every two years
ENGA12H - every two years
ENGB01Y - every two years
ENGB02Y - every four years
ENGD02H & ENGD03H (ENGD01Y) (ENGC59Y) - every
four years.
Pre-1800 courses - at least every two years.
Post-1800 courses - at least one every year.
D-level courses - usually 2 half-courses every year.
HISA03Y offered in the evening normally every other year.
Upper level History courses - at least two offered
every year.
The following courses are normally offered annually
in the evening and/or in the summer: PSYA01Y, PSYB01H, and PSYB07H,
all of which are required for both programmes. As well, all courses
in each of the content areas and all D-level courses appear in
the evening or summer on approximately a 3-year cycle. Part-time
students are also encouraged to check the offerings on the St.
George campus, to which they have access and which they will find
are not identical to those at Scarborough in a given year.
Some Sociology courses will be offered in the evening
or summer session every year. These will normally include SOCA01Y
and one full-course equivalent at the B- or C-level. Every effort
will be made to rotate these upper-level courses so students can
complete the Minor Programme in Sociology in not more than three
years.
