Student Access To Campus
Safety measures continue to be implemented on campus
- Ontario’s evolving response to COVID-19 continues to present all of us with unexpected challenges in our studies, and in our daily life. Provincial regulation and public health guidance now require that post-secondary institutions implement COVID-19 health screening via a self-assessment for anyone coming to campus. In order to comply with these directives, a self-assessment is now required for all members of our community, including students, each day they visit any of the three U of T campuses or any other property owned or operated by U of T.
- There are two ways that individuals can complete the required self-assessment and generate a risk status: by using UCheck, or be completing an offline or paper-based log each time you come to campus.
- Student access to campus is limited.
- Students can access the Bladen Wing Study Space and library resources through the entrance at the Academic Resource Centre (ARC) quad. Your contact information will be collected for contact tracing purposes.
- If you have an in-person appointment with the Health & Wellness Centre, you may access the Student Centre, staff at Health & Wellness will give you instructions on accessing the building.

What is UCheck?
UCheck is the easiest and most secure way to complete the required self-assessment and generate a COVID-19 risk status prior to coming to campus. Your risk status (e.g., “red” or “green”) is securely shared with the University, but individual responses to the UCheck self-assessment questionnaire are not accessible by the institution. More details on how to use UCheck, including how we are keeping this data private, are available at utoronto.ca/utogether2020/ucheck.
In the event that you are unable to access the UCheck online self-assessment prior to coming to campus, please complete UCheck as soon as you are able to, once on campus. Alternatively, if choose not to use UCheck, you can access an offline or paper-based log to complete your self-assessment and document your risk status here.
Any student who receives a red status after completing a self-assessment should follow the directions provided via UCheck or on the offline or paper-based log.
Thank you for ensuring a safe, healthy environment and campus.

Winter Term 2021
What are the protocols for students who need to attend campus to access study space or for research purposes?
Students attending campus to use the study space are directed to enter through the ARC entrance.
Students who are here for research purposes will be granted access through both the ARC and SW entrances.
Students are required to produce the T-card and swipe in at either entrance. If student is not able to provide T-card, evidence of enrolment is required.
Anyone planning to arrive on campus is asked to complete U-check prior to their arrival.
When will Winter term classes start?
Winter term classes will begin Monday January 11, 2021.
Will Reading Week be affected by the January 11, 2021 start date?
Reading Week will remain in place as planned, during the week of February 15, 2021.
Will the overall term be extended to accommodate the later start for 2021?
The overall term will not be lengthened. Classes will now end April 12, 2021 with the examination period still to conclude on April 23, 2021.
Will course enrolment, drop dates and financial deadlines be adjusted due to the later start of Winter term?
Course enrolment, drop dates and financial deadline dates will be adjusted to accommodate the late start of classes. The amended dates will be posted to the Registrar website, the week of November 23, 2020.
What will the Winter term look like?
As public health and safety regulations remain in place for the winter season, and with the safety and well-being of our community being our top priority, we will proceed only with course elements that are deemed essential to the learning outcomes of the course (elements that cannot be replicated online or in a remote environment) in-person. This will mainly be laboratories. All other elements will be offered online.
If you are currently enrolled in a winter course that includes an in-person element (that is not deemed essential), this will now be delivered online. You will receive a message from the Registrar’s Office with further details. These changes will also be indicated on the course timetable.
For courses with mandatory in-person elements (i.e., with no corresponding remote component), will there be a guarantee that they will be repeated in subsequent terms?
We maintain our commitment to offer these in-person elements in subsequent academic terms. Appropriate accommodations to program requirements relating to in-person courses will be made for those intending to graduate in June 2021.
I am graduating in June 2021, but I cannot attend some in-person required courses – will this delay my graduation?
No, your graduation will not be delayed. For students who are otherwise on track to graduate, departments will adjust program requirements to allow a path to graduation for those who cannot attend in-person required courses this year.
I am graduating in June 2021, what can I do to prepare for my transition into my career?
There are several resources available for students preparing for graduation. We recommend attending the Employer Information Sessions and Networking Events available. We also recommend attending our annual Get Hired conference at the end of April 2021. For access to our online career workshops please click here.
Will other in-person elements be provided as restrictions/space permits and for faculty and students who are willing?
We have taken a very cautious approach towards offering in-person course elements for the entire 2020-21 academic year. We will offer in-person classes to the extent that health requirements and faculty and student interest will allow. We will update the timetable with any new in-person course offerings as they become available from the academic departments.
Will there be an extension for payment of service fees?
The date to make a payment to avoid service charges for the Fall term was changed from September 30, 2020 to January 31, 2021. The date for charges to appear on the invoice for the Fall and Winter terms was adjusted to February 16, 2021.
For any in-person offering, will there will be a remote backup plan in the event of restrictions that will not allow for such in-person elements?
We recognize that Public Health restrictions may not allow for in-person elements in the Winter term. In this event, our current approach of being 100% online will remain in place for every offering.
Who can I contact regarding questions I have about the Winter 2021 term?
If you have questions pertaining to course registration, enrolment or financial aid please contact: askro.utsc@utoronto.ca
For questions regarding specific course delivery methods please contact the respective academic department.
For academic advising support please contact: aacc@utsc.utoronto.ca
For AccessAbility services please contact: ability@utsc.utoronto.ca
What If health regulations change during the winter term? What will happen to the remaining in-person elements?
As safety and well-being remains our top priority, in the event there is a change to health regulations, we will pivot appropriately in compliance with provincial directives and convert these elements to an online format.

Will Summer courses remain online or move to in-person?
Summer classes (at both the undergraduate and graduate levels) will be offered mostly online, either online synchronously or asynchronously. For courses delivered synchronously, we will continue to ensure that required course content and various forms of participation are available for students who cannot attend at the scheduled online class time.
Online synchronous
A course is considered Online Synchronous if it requires online attendance at a specific time for some or all course activities, and does not require attendance at a specific location for any activities or exams.

Anyone planning to arrive on campus is asked to complete U-check prior to their arrival.
For course elements that are deemed essential, will they be offered in-person?
There will continue to be some graduate or undergraduate courses/course elements (such as labs, or tutorials) which are deemed to be “essential” and will be offered in-person. Section sizes will be restricted in order to follow University and Public Health guidelines in place at such time, and thus may change depending on the restrictions set in place. The specifics as to which courses or course elements will be offered in-person will be announced as soon as they are available.
Is there someone I can contact about choosing my summer courses?
When choosing summer courses, students should consult with the Academic Advising & Career Centre and/or your program advisor.

There will be no in-person final exams. All exams will be conducted remotely. Time zone resolutions for on-line final examinations will continue to be in effect for the Summer term. If you are physically in a different time zone and your final exam is scheduled outside 7:00 a.m. - midnight in your local time, you may request a new time on eService.
Will I have access to the Library and other study spaces?
The Library and other study/computer access spaces will continue to be available to students over the summer. Details concerning opening hours, locations and student access rules will be announced before the start of the term (March 22, 2021).
Who can I contact for technical support for my online leaning?

Registered students should continue to request accommodations for their timed tests/exams via myAIMS.
I have accommodations for additional writing time as well as stopped clock breaks. How will this work in an online testing format?
Additional writing time, stopped clock breaks as well as breaks will be added to your total test writing time. Students are strongly encouraged to use their break time as intended. Quercus will not shut down or "time out" if you step away from your computer during the allotted time for your testing. For more detailed steps, please see our Taking a Timed Exam on Quercus instruction document (MS Word).
How will my instructor know my accommodations are online and if I require extra time?
As long as you submit your request to write with accommodations to the Accommodated Tests and Exams office through myAIMS, then your allocated extra time will be facilitated by that office. You do not need to reach out to your instructor, but it is very important that you register for any online tests/exams as early as possible to ensure this is arranged prior to your test/exam time.
I am writing a timed online exam. How do I know how much time I have?
In the Quercus application, under the Course Navigation, please click the Quizzes link then click the Exam to see its duration and the exact date/time it will open.

Students should email accessexams.utsc@utoronto.ca to discuss this with the Accommodated Test and Exam Services. In your email, please state if you have received any information from the professor regarding the status of the exam.
What is the difference between a take-home exam and an assignment a student would usually request a one-week extension on using their letter of accommodation?
A take-home exam is a timed assignment that replaces a final exam. Generally, an Instructor has already built-in extra time for students with accommodations to complete their final exam. However, if you feel that you require additional time or other accommodations for your take-home exam, please reach out to your Disability Consultant.
When reaching out to your Disability Consultant, please provide them with as much detail about the exam as possible, including deadlines, timeframes, and any announcements your professor has made about the exam.
For an assignment, which may have been provided with weeks or months to prepare, a student can request an extension of up to one week from the due date, if this is included as one of their approved accommodations.
