The examination timetable is posted here.

A Faculty final examination counting for between one-third and two-thirds of the final mark must be held in each 100-series course, unless exemption has been granted by the Faculty of Arts & Science. Courses in the 200-series will normally have a final examination.  In 200-, 300- and 400-series courses, the Departments will decide whether or not an examination is appropriate. The ratio of term work to examination mark will be the same for all sections of multi-section courses that have final examinations. The relative value of each part of a written examination must be indicated on the question paper.

Final examinations are held at the end of each session or sub-session. Students taking courses during the day may be required to write evening examinations, and students taking evening courses may be required to write examinations during the day. Examinations may be held on Saturdays. Students who make personal commitments during the examination period do so at their own risk. No special consideration is given and no special arrangements are made in the event of conflicts resulting from personal commitments.

Students who are unable to write their examinations due to illness, etc., should contact the Program Office.

Students who have two Faculty final examinations at the same time, or three consecutive Faculty final examinations (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening; or afternoon, evening, next morning) should report the conflict to the Office of the Faculty Registrar by the deadline shown on the examination schedule. Information regarding dates, times and locations of examinations will not be given by telephone or email; for the most up to date examination timetable consult the Faculty's current students web site at http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current. 

Students who cannot write a final examination at the scheduled time because of a religious obligation should report this conflict to the Office of the Faculty Registrar as soon as the conflict is known, and no later than the deadline shown on the examination schedule.

Cancelling courses and fees implications

If you decide that you do not want a course, you must cancel it as soon as possible. This applies to courses that you have waitlisted as well as those in which you are enrolled. Please do not occupy a space that you know you do not want. Only by cancelling the course using the SWS will your space become available to another student.

It is important to officially cancel a course as soon as you have decided you do not want to continue in it, since fees refunds are calculated according to the date the cancellation is recorded. Cancellations must be done on ROSI.  Courses that are not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures.   A cancellation of your registration in the fall/winter session is subject to a minimum charge. Check the Student Accounts web site for details.

All students at the University of Toronto have a student account. To review your account balance and invoice, log in to your ROSI account and click on "Financial Accounts".   Your student account is managed by Student Accounts, which is also referred to as the Fees Office. The Fees Office is responsible for your tuition and ancillary fees, processing payments, issuing refunds and applying service charges.

Fee payments must be made at a financial institution. The easiest way to do this is to set up a U of T account with your online banking service. Details on how to do this can be found on the Student Accounts web site.

Viewing your fees invoice
You will be able to view your academic fee invoice on ROSI starting July 16, 2012.

How and when to pay
For full payment instructions, see the Office of Student Accounts web site.

To be automatically registered for the fall-winter session you must enrol in courses AND pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by August 21.

If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by August 21, you will be removed from your courses at any time. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University.

IMPORTANT: Students on waiting lists will be added to the course when space is made available at any time. You may not be able to get back into a course that you have been removed from because students on waiting lists may have filled the space created.

Students who have been removed from courses and had their registrations cancelled will have to show proof of payment before they can attempt to enrol in courses again. A late registration fee will also be charged. As the August 21 payment/deferral deadline approaches, ROSI will warn you that your registration is about to be cancelled when you log on, if your payment has not been received by the University.

You can check to see if you are registered on the SWS. Log on and select “Course Enrolment” from the main menu. Your registration is complete if your status shown is "Registered" for the current session. If your status is “Invited” you need to pay or defer your fees or you risk being removed from your courses! You should check your status a few days after you have paid to be safe.

What happens if I don't pay or defer by August 21?
If your payment or deferral has not been received by the University by August 21, you will be removed from your courses and your space in each course may be filled by a student from a waiting list. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University. If you are reinstated because of late fees payment, you will also be charged a late registration fee. You will only be reinstated into courses if there is space.

Electronic payments
Once you enrol in courses, you should pay your fees using electronic payment (see below). You can obtain an up-to-date balance on ROSI immediately after changing your course enrolments.

You can pay your fees using telephone or online banking if your bank offers this service. Provide your financial institution with your account number and the name "University of Toronto" for their telephone or online banking service. Your account number is displayed on the invoice format of your account on the Student Web Service. The account number consists up to the first five characters of your surname (in capital letters) and 10 numbers which is your student number with leading zeroes (if applicable). Make sure you distinguish between the letter ‘O’ and the number ‘zero’.

Sample account numbers

• Anthony Cho’s student number is 1000123456; his account number is CHO1000123456.
• Jane Seto-Paul's student number is 987654321; hyphens and spaces are not used, so her account number is SETOP0987654321.
• Christine Elias' student number is 9234578; her account number is ELIAS0009234578.

Be sure to make a note of the confirmation number in case there is a delay in processing your payment. If you pay after August 21, make sure you get proof of payment that shows the date and amount you paid, and show it to your college registrar’s office as soon as possible to complete your registration. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of all your course enrolments.

For full payment instructions, see the Office of Student Accounts web site.

Official Registration
Registration will occur automatically if you pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by August 21. If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by August 21, you will be removed from your courses at any time. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University.

Just taking courses starting in January?
If you enrol in 2013 winter session courses only, you must pay at least the first installment of fees by August 21 to avoid being removed from your courses. If you enrol in 2013 winter session courses only after August 21, you must pay at least the first installment of fees and show proof of payment to your college registrar's office as soon as possible or risk removal from the course(s). A late registration fee may be charged.

Owe fees from a previous session?
Students with outstanding financial obligations to the University (including tuition and residence charges) must pay their fees in full before registering in the next academic session.

NOTE: Those students with significant fees arrears from previous sessions will not be allowed to enroll in courses until the arrears are paid in full.

Fees payments will be applied first to outstanding debt from previous sessions before being applied to the 2012-2013 fall/winter sessions. Please ensure that your payment is sufficient to cover all arrears as well as the minimum first payment, or you will not be registered.

OSAP deferrals
If you have no outstanding fees from previous sessions and if you applied for OSAP by the specified deadline (see below), you may request deferral of your fees payment. This deferral is not automatic! You must complete the deferral:

• online, on ROSI  or

• at the Office of Student Accounts, 215 Huron Street;  or

• at Woodsworth College registrar's office

by August 21 or you will be removed from your courses.

For details, see the Student Accounts web site.

Returning students should apply for OSAP by May 31 and new students by June 15. It is important that you meet these deadlines; if you do so and you are eligible to receive loans, you may request a fees deferral, your OSAP entitlement will be determined before classes begin, and you can budget accordingly.

Breakdown of fees
Compulsory fees for registration consist of academic, incidental and ancillary fees.

See the Student Accounts website in mid-July for the fees schedule.

Fees for the 2012-2013 fall/winter sessions had not been approved by the University’s Business Board and Governing Council at press time. Check the Student Accounts web site at http://www.fees.utoronto.ca for updated fees amounts. The updated fees will be reflected on your financial account on the SWS starting on July 16.

Paying fees for changed course loads
If you change your course load after you have made a payment, you can find out how much you owe by going to the SWS and selecting “Financial Accounts” from the main menu. Your current balance is displayed at the top of that page. You can make another payment for the balance. Please be aware that changing your course load could sometimes result in significant changes in your fee charges, depending on when you make the change.

How do I know that my enrolment is complete?
You can check to see if you are registered on the SWS. Log on and select “Course Enrolment” from the main menu. Your registration is complete if your status shown is "Registered" for the current session. If your status is “Invited” you need to pay or defer your fees or you risk being removed from your courses! You should check your status a few days after you have paid to be safe.

Refunds
If you withdraw from courses within the appropriate refund period and do not enrol in further courses, you may request a refund of the fees by emailing a request to the Office of Student Accounts. Before you send your email, check your account balance on ROSI to make sure you have a credit balance. You may also wish to set up direct deposit by recording your banking information on ROSI prior to requesting the refund.

Waiting lists enable you to “line up” for a space that might become available in a lecture section that is full, or in an enrolment category that is full. If a space becomes available, and you are next on the waiting list, you will automatically be enrolled. After the enrolment happens, a notification email will be sent to your UofT email address.

There are no fees associated with being on the waiting list for a course, but if you are enrolled from the waiting list, you will automatically be charged the appropriate academic and incidental fees.

Note: Being on the waiting list does not guarantee you a space in the course.

Question 1: When are waiting lists in use?

Waiting lists are available from the start of course enrolment for your year of study until September 16, 2012 for F/Y section code courses and January 13, 2013 for S section code courses. The exceptions are 1) with courses which have “AE” or “PE” indicators—waiting lists for these courses are turned off when the department assumes control of enrolment (July 26 for “AE” courses and August 14 for “PE” courses), and 2) with courses which have an asterisk (*) indicator—waiting lists for these courses do not begin until August 9. See the chart below for a summary of waiting list availability dates.

 When Waiting Lists are available

Enrolment Indicator Type	Course Duration	Available From:	Available Until:
AE	F, S and Y	July 10	July 25
PE	F, S and Y	July 10	August 12
No Indicator/P/R/RP	F and Y	July 10	September 16
	S	July 10	January 13
Indicator with an asterisk (*)	F and Y	August 9 (if enrolment control met); August 14 for all others	September 16
	S	August 9 (if enrolment control met); August 14 for all others	January 13

Question 2: How many courses can I choose to "waitlist"?

You are allowed to be on waiting lists for a maximum of 2.0 full-course equivalents (i.e. any combination of Y and H courses totalling no more than 2.0 credits); however, "waitlisted" courses count towards your maximum allowable course load. Since the maximum course load changes during the enrolment period, check the charts below to see how many courses you can enrol in, and be on the waiting list for:

From July 10 to August 7, the maximum course load is 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCE's).

If you are enrolled in this many courses (with "approved" or "interim" status)...:	...you can have this many "waitlisted" courses...	...for a total of 5.0 full-course equivalents between July 5 and August 3
3.0 FCE's or less	2.0 FCE's	5.0 total
3.5 FCE's	1.5 FCE's	5.0 total
4.0 FCE's	1.0 FCE's	5.0 total
4.5 FCE's	0.5 FCE's	5.0 total
5.0 FCE's	0.0 FCE's	5.0 total

From August 9 to September 16/January 13, the maximum course load is 6.0 full-course equivalents (FCE's).

If you are enrolled in this many courses (with "approved" or "interim" status)...:	...you can have this many "waitlisted" courses...	...for a total of 6.0 full-course equivalents between August 5 and September 18/January 15
4.0 FCE's or less	2.0 FCE's	6.0 total
4.5 FCE's	1.5 FCE's	6.0 total
5.0 FCE's	1.0 FCE's	6.0 total
5.5 FCE's	0.5 FCE's	6.0 total
6.0 FCE's	0.0 FCE's	6.0 total

Note: students restricted to part-time studies have a maximum course load of 2.5 full-course equivalents. These students can still have 2.0 "waitlisted" courses.

Question 3: Do all courses have waiting lists?

Not all courses have waiting lists. Meeting sections with a waiting list will have a "Y" in the "Wait List" column of the timetable pages.

Question 4: Are there waiting lists for practicals and tutorials?

No. Waiting lists are only available for lecture sections of a course.

Remember—if you are enrolled from a waiting list into a lecture section of a course that has practicals and/or tutorials, you are responsible for adding those practical and/or tutorial sections on ROSI yourself.

Question 5: Can I be on a waiting list for more than one lecture section of the same course?

Yes. Regardless of the number of meeting sections you "waitlist" for a particular course, the course will still only count as either 1.0 credit (Y course), or 0.5 credit (H course) toward your course waiting list total.

Please note: If you are on the waiting list for multiple lecture sections of a course, and are subsequently enrolled into any one of these lecture sections, you will be automatically be removed from the other waiting lists, so make sure that you are only on the waiting list for lecture sections of the course that fit your schedule and that you are willing to take.

Question 6: Can I be enrolled in one lecture section and be on a waiting list for another lecture section of the same course?

No. If you are enrolled in a lecture meeting section of a course, and choose to waitlist for another lecture meeting section of the same course, you will be removed from the lecture section that you are enrolled in, along with any associated practical or tutorial sections, as soon as you join the waiting list. For this reason, it is important that you carefully consider a choice to "waitlist" for a meeting section if you are already enrolled in a course.

Question 7: If I am on the waiting list for one section of a course, can I add myself later on to the waiting list for another section of the same course?

Yes. As explained in Question 5 (above).

Question 8: Can I change or drop sections that I'm on a waiting list for?

Yes. To change sections, you must ADD yourself to the waiting list of the new section, and THEN WITHDRAW from the waiting list of the original section. Once you remove yourself from a waiting list, you lose your position—if you add yourself back, you will be at the bottom of that list.

Question 9: How do waiting lists work?

If you try to enrol in a course that is full, or in a course in which the space for your enrolment control group is full, ROSI will give you the waiting list option (if the course has a waiting list.)

The message might be:

• "Meeting section is full. There are currently 6 students on the waitlist for 50 total spaces."

You will be given the choice to join the waiting list for any lecture section. If you decide to join a waiting list, you will get a message indicating the sections to which you have successfully added yourself. You will now have to view your courses to see your rank on the waiting list(s) that you joined. If a student drops out of the course or a new space is made available in the section, and you are the first person on the waiting list, you will be enrolled in the section. The rankings of all others on the waiting list will improve by one.

Question 10: What does "rank" mean?

Rank is your place in line. When you list your courses on ROSI, the courses will appear in the following sections:

• APPROVED (successfully enrolled)
• INTERIM (for AE courses awaiting decision)
• REFUSED (unsuccessful enrolment or removed)
• WAIT (on a waiting list)

For courses listed under the "WAIT" category, each lecture section will include a "rank." The message about rank that ROSI displays will contain information about the number of students already on the waiting list and the number of spaces available.

• "Currently Waitlisted. Your rank is 4 out of 20 total space(s) in the meeting section."

In this example, you are the fourth person on the waiting list for a section that has a total capacity of 20 students.

For you to be automatically enrolled through the waiting list process, 4 students out of the 20 currently enrolled have to cancel the course.

Question 11: How many students can be on each waiting list?

There is no limit to the number of students who can join a waiting list. Question 12: Will I be notified if I'm enrolled in a course through a waiting list?

Yes! ROSI will send an email to your UTORmail account notifying you that have been enrolled into a course from a waiting list. It is extremely important that you activate and regularly check your UTORmail account, and update your ROSI personal information to include the UofT email address. You will still be responsible for enrolling in any practical or tutorial sections associated with the course (see Question 4.)

Question 13: How do I know if I've been successfully enrolled?

Log in to the Student Web Service periodically, and list your courses and/or check your rank or check your UofT account regularly for an email notification of enrolment.

It is recommended that you check your rank on ROSI occasionally so that you can assess the situation and make an informed decision about remaining on the waiting list or choosing an alternate course that has available space.

It is important to note that ROSI does not enrol students from the waiting lists into courses in real-time; instead, the enrolments are done in batches. This means that there is no need to check ROSI many times per day to see if you've been enrolled from a waiting list.

Since the last day that you can join a waiting list or be enrolled into a course from a waiting list is September 16 for F and Y section code courses and January 13 for S section code courses, you should log on to ROSI on September 17 and/or January 14 and list your courses to see if you were enrolled in anything through the waiting list process.

You'll know that you've been enrolled because the course will be listed in the section called "Approved." If the course has any practical and or tutorial sections, you are responsible for enrolling in these sections as per the departmental instructions. You are also responsible for any academic and or incidental fees arising from the course enrolment.

Question 15: What happens if I'm not enrolled from the waiting list?

Waiting lists will be closed as of September 16 for F and Y section code courses; January 13 for S section code courses. Log on to ROSI on September 17 and January 14 if you were on a waiting list and list your courses.

If courses still appear in the section called “Wait” in the listing, check back later in the day. If the course is NOT listed in the section called “Approved” AND you no longer have courses in the section called “Wait," you were not enrolled through the waiting list process.

From September 17-23 (for F and Y section code courses) and January 14-20 (for S section code courses), enrolment in courses that previously had waiting lists becomes first-come, first-served. At this stage, you should try to enrol using ROSI.

Course (also called "Academic Activity")

• 3 letters denoting the department or college sponsoring the course
• 3 numbers denoting the level
• 1 letter indicating the credit or full-course equivalent (FCE) value (H = 0.5 credit, Y = 1.0 credit)
• 1 number indicating the campus (1 = St. George campus)

For example, ECO100Y1 is a 100-level course taught by the Department of Economics, with a credit value of 1, taught at the St. George campus.

Section Code

• F = fall session
• S = winter session
• Y = fall and winter sessions

Title

• abbreviated version of the full title of the course given in the Calendar; subtitle if used

Meeting Section

• LEC or L = lecture
• PRA or P = practical
• TUT or T = tutorial

All courses have an L meeting section. If there is more than one L section listed, select the one that is offered at the time most convenient for your schedule. If a course listing also includes P and T meeting sections, you must select these in addition to an L section. Meeting sections that begin with the number 5 (e.g., L5102, P5101) begin at 5 p.m. or later. Meeting sections that begin with the number 3 have an off-campus location.

Meeting sections that begin with the number 2 are reserved for students in other faculties; Arts & Science students cannot enrol in these sections. On the SWS, meeting sections appear as: LEC = lecture, PRA = practical, TUT = tutorial.

Waiting List Indicator

Information and instructions on waiting lists.

• Y indicates that the meeting section has a waiting list
• N indicates that the meeting section does not have a waiting list

Time:

• M = Monday
• T = Tuesday
• W = Wednesday
• R = Thursday
• F = Friday
• S = Saturday

Where more than one letter is used for a meeting section, classes meet on each day indicated. Classes begin at 10 minutes after the hour and finish on the hour. Unless otherwise stated, the duration of daytime classes is 50 minutes. For example, "TR10" meets both Tuesday and Thursday, beginning at 10:10 and ending at 11:00. Practical meeting times followed by (A) meet every other week.

Place

• Central = central area of campus between Queen’s Park and St. George Street
• East = area of campus east of Queen’s Park
• West = area of campus west of St. George Street

Instructor

If the instructor for the course is known at the time of publication, the name will be listed. As instructors are assigned to courses, information will be updated on the Faculty Registrar's timetable web site. Instructor names will be posted before classes begin.

Enrolment Indicator

Note: specific departmental instructions (if any) are provided in the departmental instructions in the timetable listings.

P	Students in a specific admission category or subject POSt and/or year of study will receive PRIORITY until August 3. On August 5 the priority is removed and any remaining spaces are available to all students. You can request P courses on the SWS. Waiting lists are available from July 5 to September 18, 2011 for F/Y section code courses and January 15, 2012 for S section code courses.
R	The course is RESTRICTED to a specific group of students at all times. This restriction does not change at any time during the enrolment cycle. You can request R courses on the SWS. Waiting lists are available from July 5 to September 18, 2011 for F/Y section code courses and January 15, 2012 for S section code courses.
RP	The course is RESTRICTED to a specific group of students during the St. George campus round of enrolment. When priorities are removed for P courses (starting August 5), restrictions remains for a specific group of students to enrol; however, some PRIORITY spaces may be made available to other students. You can request RP courses on the SWS. Waiting lists are available from July 5 to September 18, 2011 for F/Y section code courses and January 15, 2012 for S section code courses.
PE	Students in a specific admission category or subject POSt and/or year of study will receive PRIORITY until August 7. During this period, eligible students should enrol in the course on the SWS. Students not enrolled from the waiting list by August 7 will be removed from the waiting list when ROSI is closed on August 8. Starting August 9, the priority is removed and any remaining spaces are available to all students; however, you must ENROL at the department. Departmental enrolment instructions are located in the timetable listings. To cancel a PE course after August 7, go to the department or your college registrar’s office. Please note that certain deadlines occur on the weekend—if you need to contact the department or your college registrar’s office, it should be done the Friday before the deadline. Waiting lists are available from July 5 to August 7 only.
*	When an asterisk is used in conjunction with an enrolment indicator, not all enrolment controls listed are assigned the same number of spaces in a course. The division of spaces is in effect during the priority period in the St. George campus round of enrolment (from July 5 to August 3.) If the number off spaces in category fills during this time, students will have the opportunity to join the waiting list for the course starting August 5, when the priorities are removed and students have equal access to enrol in any remaining spaces. Waiting lists are available from August 5 to September 18, 2011 for F/Y section code courses and January 15, 2012 for S section code courses.

Waiting Lists

All lecture meeting sections with the exception of E indicator courses have waiting lists.

Waiting lists enable you to "line up" for a space that might become available in a lecture section that is full, or in an enrolment category that is full. If a space becomes available, and you are next on the waiting list, you will automatically be enrolled. ROSI will send an email to your U of T email account notifying you that have been enrolled into a course from a waiting list. You will still be responsible for enrolling in any practical or tutorial sections associated with the course.

Question 1: When are waiting lists in use?

Waiting lists are available from the start of course enrolment on April 9 until May 17 for F/Y section code courses, and until July 5 for S section code courses, with the exception of PE indicator courses, where waiting lists are available from April 9-15 only.

Course duration	Available from:	Available until:
F and Y	April 9	May 17
S	April 9	July 5

Question 2: How many courses can I choose to "waitlist"?

You are allowed to be on waiting lists for a maximum of 1.0 full-course equivalent (FCE)—2 half courses, or 1 full course—however, "waitlisted" courses count towards your maximum allowable course load. In the summer session, the maximum course is 2.0 FCEs, unless you have been restricted to part time studies, in which case your maximum course load is 1.0 FCEs.

 

If you are enrolled in this many courses (with "approved" or "interim" status.)..	...you can have this many "waitlisted" courses...	...for a total of 2.0 FCEs (for students not restricted to part-time studies)
1.0 FCEs or less	1.0 FCEs	up to 2.0 total
1.5 FCEs	0.5 FCEs	2.0 total
2.0 FCEs	0 FCEs	2.0 total

Question 3: Which courses have waiting lists?

Meeting sections with a waiting list have a "Y" in the "Wait List" column of the timetable listings.

Question 4: Are there waiting lists for practical and tutorial sections?

No. Waiting lists are only available for lecture sections of a course.

Remember—if you are enrolled from a waiting list into a lecture section of a course that has practicals and/or tutorials, you are responsible for adding those practical and/or tutorial sections on ROSI yourself.

Question 5: Can I be on a waiting list for more than one lecture section of the same course?

Yes. Regardless of the number of meeting sections you "waitlist" for a particular course, the course will still only count as either 1.0 credit (Y course) or 0.5 credit (H course) toward your course waiting list total.

For example, if does not matter if you are on the waiting list for one or two lecture sections of ECO100Y1 (L0101, L5101)—this will only count as 1.0 credit towards your allowable waiting list total of 1.0 credits. Likewise, if you are on the waiting list for all lecture sections of ENG100H1F (L0101, L0201, L5101), this will only count as 0.5 credits towards your waiting list total of 1.0.

Please note: If you are on the waiting list for multiple lecture sections of a course, and are enrolled into any of those lecture sections, you will be automatically removed from the other lecture section waiting lists. Be sure that you are only on the waiting list for lecture sections of the course that fit your schedule and that you want to take.

Question 6: Can I be enrolled in one lecture section and be on a waiting list for another lecture section of the same course?

No. If you are enrolled in a lecture section of a course, and choose to "waitlist" another lecture section of the same course, you will be removed from the lecture section that your were initially enrolled in, along with any associated practical and or tutorial sections, as soon as you confirm that you want to join the waiting list. For this reason, it is important that you carefully consider a choice to "waitlist" a meeting section if you are already enrolled in a course.

Question 7: If I am on the waiting list for one section of a course, can I add myself later on to the waiting list for another section of the same course?

Yes. For example if you are on the waiting list for ENG100H1F section L0101, you may add yourself to the waiting list for section L5101 at a later date without affecting your position on the waiting list for L0101. As explained in Question 5, above, the two "waitlisted" sections of ENG100H1F will count as 0.5 credits towards your waiting list maximum of 1.0 credit.

Question 8: Can I change or drop sections that I'm on a waiting list for?

Yes. To change sections, you must ADD yourself to the waiting list of the new section, and THEN WITHDRAW from the waiting list of the original section. Once you remove yourself from a waiting list, you lose your position—if you add yourself back, you will be at the bottom of the list.

Question 9: How do waiting lists work?

If you try to enrol in a course that is full, or in a course in which the space in your enrolment control group is full, ROSI will give you the waiting list option (if the course has a waiting list.)

The message that ROSI will display contains information about the number of students already on the waiting list and the number of spaces available.

If the meeting section is full, the message might be: "Meeting section is full. There are currently 6 students on the waitlist for 50 total spaces."

You will be given the choice to join the waiting list for any lecture section that has a waiting list option. If you decide to join a waiting list, you will get a message indicating the sections into which you have successfully added yourself. You will now have to view your courses to see your rank on the waiting list(s) that you joined.

If a student drops out of the course or additional space is added to the lecture section, and you are the first person on the waiting list, you will be enrolled into the lecture section. The rankings of all others on the waiting list will improve by one spot.

Question 10: What does "rank" mean?

Rank is your place in line. When you list your courses on ROSI, the courses will appear in the following sections:

• APPROVED (successfully enrolled)
• INTERIM (for AE courses – awaiting decisions)
• REFUSED (unsuccessful enrolment or removed from course)
• WAIT (on a waiting list)

For courses listed in the "WAIT" section, each lecture section will include a "rank." The message from ROSI will contain information about the number of students already on the waiting list and the number of spaces available.

If the meeting section is full, the message might be:

"Currently waitlisted. Your rank is 4 out of 20 total space(s) in the meeting section."

In this example, you are the fourth person on the waiting list for a section that has a total capacity of 20 students. For you to be automatically enrolled through the waiting list process, 4 students out of the 20 currently enrolled have to cancel the course, or the department has to increase the total space in the section to at least 24.

Question 11: How many students can be on each waiting list?

There is no limit to the number of students that can join a waiting list.

Question 12: Will I be notified if I'm enrolled in a course through a waiting list?

Yes. ROSI will send an email to your U of T email account notifying you that have been enrolled into a course from a waiting list. Because of this, it is extremely important that you activate and regularly check your U of T emailaccount, and update your ROSI personal information to include this email address.

Question 13: How do I know if I've been successfully enrolled?

ROSI will send an email to your U of T email account notifying you that have been enrolled into a course from a waiting list.

Since the last day that you can join a waiting list or be enrolled into a course from a waiting list is either May 17 (for F and Y section code courses) or July 5 (for S section code courses), you should log onto ROSI on May 18 and/or July 6 and list your courses to see if you were enrolled in anything through the waiting list process. You’ll know that you’ve been enrolled because the course will be listed in the “APPROVED” section. If the course has any practical or tutorial sections, you are responsible for enrolling in these sections as per the departmental instructions. You are also responsible for any academic and or incidental fees arising from the course enrolment.

If the course still appears in the "WAIT" section, check back later in the day. If the course is NOT listed in the "APPROVED" section AND you no longer have courses in the "WAIT" section, you were not enrolled through the waiting list process.

After the waiting lists are closed, course enrolment for courses that previously had waiting lists becomes first-come, first-served. The dates for this period are:

• May 18 to 21 for F and Y section code courses
• July 6 to 9 for S section code courses

During this period, you should try to enrol using ROSI.

The examination timetable is posted here.

A Faculty final examination counting for between one-third and two-thirds of the final mark must be held in each 100-series course, unless exemption has been granted by the Faculty of Arts & Science. Courses in the 200-series will normally have a final examination.  In 200-, 300- and 400-series courses, the Departments will decide whether or not an examination is appropriate. The ratio of term work to examination mark will be the same for all sections of multi-section courses that have final examinations. The relative value of each part of a written examination must be indicated on the question paper.

Final examinations are held at the end of each session or sub-session. Students taking courses during the day may be required to write evening examinations, and students taking evening courses may be required to write examinations during the day. Examinations may be held on Saturdays. Students who make personal commitments during the examination period do so at their own risk. No special consideration is given and no special arrangements are made in the event of conflicts resulting from personal commitments.

Students who are unable to write their examinations due to illness, etc., should contact the Program Office.

Students who have two Faculty final examinations at the same time, or three consecutive Faculty final examinations (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening; or afternoon, evening, next morning) should report the conflict to the Office of the Faculty Registrar by the deadline shown on the examination schedule. Information regarding dates, times and locations of examinations will not be given by telephone or email; for the most up to date examination timetable consult the Faculty's current students web site at http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current. 

Students who cannot write a final examination at the scheduled time because of a religious obligation should report this conflict to the Office of the Faculty Registrar as soon as the conflict is known, and no later than the deadline shown on the examination schedule.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: APRIL 26, 2012
You will be able to view your academic fees invoice on ROSI starting April 14, 2012.

Fee Payment
Registration will occur automatically if you pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by April 26. If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by April 26, you will be removed from your courses at any time. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University before removing you from courses. If you wish to register after you have been removed, you will be charged a late registration fee.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Keep your dated receipt of fees payment in case it is required later.
• If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by April 26, you will be removed from your courses at any time. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University.
• Students with outstanding financial obligations to the university (including tuition and residence charges) must pay their fees in full before registering in the next academic session. Payments will be applied first to outstanding debts from previous sessions before being applied to the 2012 summer session.

Be sure to keep your mailing address current on ROSI. All mail from the University will be sent to this address at all times. The University is not responsible if mail is not received because of an incorrect mailing address.

OSAP
If you have no outstanding fees from previous sessions and if you applied for OSAP by March 31 deadline, you may request deferral of your fees payment. This deferral is not automatic! You must complete the deferral online (on ROSI) or at the Office of Student Accounts, 215 Huron St or at Woodsworth College registrar's office by April 26 or you will be removed from your courses.  For details, see the Student Accounts web site.

If you need to defer your fees but did not apply for OSAP by the deadline you should go to Admissions & Awards, 172 St. George St., to request a deferral form.

Financial Aid
For most full-time, undergraduate students at Woodsworth College, the first avenue of financial assistance is through the federal and provincial (ie OSAP) loan program.  Eligible students must maintain a course load of at least 60% in each term to qualify for federal/provincial funding.

Woodsworth College Bursaries and Grants
The College has an extensive bursary and grant program.  Students are encouraged to apply when applications become available October 1 for the Fall/Winter Session and the first day of classes in the summer session.  Most students applying for a bursary will have already applied for other funding. However, students are encouraged to meet with the College’s financial advisor to discuss their individual circumstances.

There are also a variety of bursaries and grants available to students studying part-time. Students can apply for the Ontario Special Bursary Program, a grant to low-income Ontarians enrolled in a degree program. OSBP applications are available on the OSAP website or through the University of Toronto’s Office of Admissions and Awards.  Part-time students can also apply for the Noah Meltz Grant, a grant offered though the University of Toronto to assist part-time degree students with their educational costs.  The application for the Noah Meltz grant can be found on the Admissions and Awards website.

There are many ways to tap into additional financial resources while studying at Woodsworth College. Do not hesitate to make an appointment to see the Awards Officer. Contact Yvonne Hilder to discuss your financial plan.

OSAP Repayment
If you have been financing your education with Canada or Ontario student loans (OSAP) you should consider a repayment plan. Your first payment is due in the seventh month after you cease to be a full-time student. This is your “Consolidation Date”. While you are a full-time student (i.e., 60% course load or greater), the Federal and Provincial governments pay the interest on your student loans. You are responsible for arranging repayment with your lender(s) before your six-month period expires by signing a Consolidation Agreement/Loan Repayment form. This will specify your monthly payments, the term and the interest rate. For detailed information go to this site.

Your student account is managed by Student Accounts, which is also referred to as the Fees Office. The Fees Office is responsible for your tuition and ancillary fees, processing payments, issuing refunds and applying service charges. 

The last date to cancel a course or cancel your registration in a session with no academic penalty DOES NOT coincide with the last date to be eligible for a refund.   The refund schedule is posted on the Student Accounts web site.

Adding/Cancelling Courses

Section Code	Final Date to Add	Final Date to Cancel
F	May 21	June 11
Y	May 21	July 22
S	July 9	July 30

 

It is important to officially cancel a course as soon as you have decided you do not want to continue in it, since fees refunds are calculated according to the date the cancellation is recorded. Cancellations must be done on ROSI.  Courses that are not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures. A cancellation of your registration in the summer session after May 13 is subject to a minimum charge—refer to the Student Accounts web site for details. 

Courses that are not cancelled by the deadlines will remain on your record and may count as failures. A cancellation of your registration in the summer session is subject to a minimum charge. Check the Student Accounts web site for details.

Courses
A course listing consists of a string of 8 characters (e.g., WDW260H1):

• three letters, which indicate the department or college offering the course
• three numbers, which indicate the level of the course
• one letter, which indicates the weight of the course: Y = 1 full credit (1.0), H = 1 half credit (0.5)
• one number, which indicates the campus where the course is offered (1 = St. George)

Sessions
The summer session is divided into two terms. The first term is May 14 to June 22 (exams June 25-29); the second term is July 3 to August 13 (exams August 14-17). Note that Y section code course lectures do not meet the week of June 25-June 29; term tests may be held in these Y courses.

Section Code
A section code is associated with an academic activity (course) code to indicate the duration of the course:

• F = first term (May-June)
• S = second term (July-August)
• Y = first and second terms (May-August) 

For example, WDW260H1F is a half-credit course offered in the first term (May 14 to June 22); STA221HS is a half-credit course offered in the second term (July 3 to August 13); ECO100Y1Y is a full-credit course offered over the first and second terms (May 14 to August 13).

Meeting Section
Meeting sections indicate the type of academic activity being conducted. Every course has at least one meeting section. The meeting section consists of a string of 7 characters (e.g., LEC 0101.) The types of academic activity being conducted are lecture (L/LEC); practical (P/PRA); tutorial (T/TUT) followed by four numbers. All courses have an L meeting section. If there is more than one L section listed, select the one that is offered at the time most convenient for your schedule. If a course listing also includes P and T meeting sections, you must select these in addition to an L section.

Time
M = Monday; T = Tuesday; W = Wednesday; R = Thursday; F = Friday

Note: Classes begin at 10 minutes after the hour and finish on the hour. Unless otherwise stated, the duration of daytime classes is 50 minutes. For example, TR10 meets both Tuesday and Thursday, beginning at 10:10 and ending at 11:00. Practical meeting times followed by (A), for "alternate", meet every other week. Note: no practical or tutorial section meets until after the first lecture.

Locations
The "Location" column consists of two elements: a two-letter building code, and a room number—e.g., SS2117. See the campus map at the back of this booklet for the names of the buildings and their locations.

Instructor
If the instructor for the course is known at the time of publication, the name will be listed.

CHRM students will be eligible to enrol in all courses, except RSM,  starting on Monday, April 9, 2012 at 6:00 a.m.

Program Information
The Certificate in Human Resource Management (CHRM) is designed for students who have completed undergraduate degrees in subjects other than human resource management or related programs such as Employment/Industrial Relations who now wish to study courses in this field to meet professional needs, prepare for advanced studies or simply to broaden their academic experience. CHRM is a part-time program and the level of instruction is undergraduate. The program consists of five full course equivalents and there is no time limit for completion of the program.

Human Resource Management is an interdisciplinary field which offers students the opportunity to study the employment relationship in a Canadian context. The program allows students to examine the nature of the institutions involved in the employment relationship and the practices and procedures governing that relationship. The program provides students with a theoretical background and knowledge of current developments in the labour and management fields that will serve as a basis for careers in employment relations and human resource management or for further training at the graduate level.

HRPA has more than 19,000 members in 28 chapters and hosts the largest annual HR conference in Canada.

Completion of HRPA’s certification process confers the right to use the title Certified Human Resources Professional and the right to use the initials C.H.R.P. or CHRP after one’s name.

The domestic fee for taking one full-credit course (1.0) in the 2011- 12 session was approximately $1455.78.  In 2011/12 the cost for the CHRM Program Total cost  (5.0 courses excluding books) was $6506.00.

Tuition fees are subject to change from year to year.   The 2012/13 tuition fee schedule will be made availabe, by  Student Accounts, on their website. To view a pdf of last year's tuition & incidental fees click here.

 

Tution Fees Payment

Registration will occur automatically if you pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by April 26 (summer session) or August 21 (fall/winter sessions). If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by these dates you will be removed from your courses at any time.  The Student Accounds office will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University before removing you from courses. If you wish to register after you have been removed, you will be charged a late registration fee.

Important:

• Keep your dated receipt of fees payment in case it is required later.
• If your payment has not been received or officially deferred by the above deadlines, you will be removed from your courses at any time. We will allow a processing time of 10 days for bank payments to be received by the University.
• Students with outstanding financial obligations to the university (including tuition and residence charges) must pay their fees in full before registering in the next academic session. Payments will be applied first to outstanding debts from previous sessions before being applied to a subsequent session.
• Be sure to keep your mailing address current on ROSI. All mail from the University will be sent to this address at all times. The University is not responsible if mail is not received because of an incorrect mailing address.

OSAP
If you have no outstanding fees from previous sessions and if you applied for OSAP by March 31 deadline, you may request deferral of your fees payment. This deferral is not automatic! You must complete the deferral online (on ROSI) or at the Office of Student Accounts, 215 Huron St or at Woodsworth College registrar's office by April 26 or you will be removed from your courses.  For details, see the Student Accounts web site.  If you need to defer your fees but did not apply for OSAP by the deadline you should go to Admissions & Awards, 172 St. George St., to request a deferral form.

Financial Aid
For most full-time, undergraduate students at Woodsworth College, the first avenue of financial assistance is through the federal and provincial (ie OSAP) loan program.  Eligible students must maintain a course load of at least 60% in each term to qualify for federal/provincial funding.

Woodsworth College Bursaries and Grants
The College has an extensive bursary and grant program.  Students are encouraged to apply when applications become available October 1 for the Fall/Winter Session and the first day of classes in the summer session.  Most students applying for a bursary will have already applied for other funding. However, students are encouraged to meet with the College’s financial advisor to discuss their individual circumstances.

There are also a variety of bursaries and grants available to students studying part-time. Students can apply for the Ontario Special Bursary Program, a grant to low-income Ontarians enrolled in a degree program. OSBP applications are available on the OSAP website or through the University of Toronto’s Office of Admissions and Awards.  Part-time students can also apply for the Noah Meltz Grant, a grant offered though the University of Toronto to assist part-time degree students with their educational costs.  The application for the Noah Meltz grant can be found on the Admissions and Awards website.

There are many ways to tap into additional financial resources while studying at Woodsworth College. Do not hesitate to make an appointment to see the Awards Officer. Contact Yvonne Hilder to discuss your financial plan.

OSAP Repayment
If you have been financing your education with Canada or Ontario student loans (OSAP) you should consider a repayment plan. Your first payment is due in the seventh month after you cease to be a full-time student. This is your “Consolidation Date”. While you are a full-time student (i.e., 60% course load or greater), the Federal and Provincial governments pay the interest on your student loans. You are responsible for arranging repayment with your lender(s) before your six-month period expires by signing a Consolidation Agreement/Loan Repayment form. This will specify your monthly payments, the term and the interest rate. For detailed information go to this site.

 

The following information is copied from the Admissions and Awards website.  Every effort has been made to ensure that the information posted here is correct.  In the case of any discrepancy, the online version published on the Admissions and Awards website shall apply.  Students are strongly advised to check the Admissions and Awards website for up-to-date information regarding deadlines, eligibility and application procedures for any financial aid related issues.

CHRM Program Requirements 
If you requested graduation on ROSI, your academic record will be checked by the Program Coordinator.  A confirmation of your graduation eligibility will be emailed to your utor account shortly after the graduation request deadline.

Your contact information on ROSI must be accurate and up to date or you’ll miss essential notices about graduation from a number of University offices.  Please take a moment now to look at your address, your phone number and your email address and ensure they’re accurate.  Note that only UTOR email addresses are considered ‘official’ for correspondence with the university. 

Can you take more courses after you have graduated? 
It is not possible to take additional courses in the CHRM program once you have graduated from the program.

Name Changes for graduating students must be made by the appropriate deadline.  Late requests will not be accepted.  If you want to make any change to your name as it appears on ROSI, bring official documentation (eg. birth certificate or Canadian passport) to the Registrar’s Office room 220 (Woodsworth College) and fill out a Name Change form as soon as possible.  Late request cannot be accommodated.

Convocation Dates,Times & Ceremony Information are posted on the Office of Convocation website.  For any questions relating to the ceremonial aspect of graduation (tickets, special seating for guests, etc.) please see the Office of Convocation website.

Information about the ceremony will be sent via email [to utor email accounts only] by the Office of Convocation in October.  You will be directed to their website to order tickets for your guests and to rent your gown and hood for the ceremony. There are deadlines, so make a note of them to ensure that you get your tickets!

Your Diploma will be given to you at the convocation ceremony.  If you can’t attend the ceremony, you can obtain your diploma either by picking it up in person or paying for it to be mailed to you.  Details are on the Convocations website.

Final examinations are held at the end of each session or subsession. Students taking courses during the day may be required to write evening examinations, and students taking evening courses may be required to write examinations during the day. Examinations may be held on Saturdays. Students who make personal commitments during the examination period do so at their own risk. No special consideration is given and no special arrangements are made in the event of conflicts.

Schedule

The current examination schedule is posted on the Faculty of Arts and Science site.

Instructors are not authorized to re-schedule or excuse students from final faculty examinations.  Students who are unable to write their examinations due to illness, domestic affliction, etc., must petition for a deferred examination. Students who make personal commitments during the examination period do so at their own risk. No special consideration is given and no special arrangements are made in the event of conflicts. 

Reread of Final Examination
If a student believes that a final faculty examination has been incorrectly marked in its substance, he/she may request a “reread.” Students should consult the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar website for detailed procedures. The student must demonstrate that his/her answers are substantially correct by citing specific instances of disagreement, supported by such documentary evidence as course handouts, textbooks, lecture notes, etc. The student must do more than simply assert that “I disagree with the marking,” or that “I believe I deserve more marks.” The Department concerned will reread the examination in light of the arguments presented. There is a $35.00 fee for this procedure, which is in addition to the fee of $13.00 charged for the photocopy of the final examination. The fee must be submitted, with the completed form, to the Office of the Faculty Registrar within six months of the final examination period. If the mark is changed as a result of this review both the photocopy and reread fees will be refunded. It should be noted that when a course is failed, the examination must be reread before the mark is reported.

Exam Viewing Instructions

Rules for the Conduct of Examinations

Use of the SWS to enrol in courses means that you agree to abide by all the academic and non-academic rules and regulations of the University and college in which you are registered and assume the obligation to pay academic and incidental fees according to the policies and requirements of the University of Toronto. The SWS is at www.rosi.utoronto.ca.

Normal Hours of Operation

• Monday: 6 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.
• Tuesday to Thursday: 12:15 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.
• Friday: 12:15 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Weekends: Saturday 12:00 a.m. through Sunday 11:45 p.m.

Hours may change from time to time for scheduled maintenance or technical reasons. For up-to-date information on SWS availability, check "Hours of Operation" on the SWS.

First-time Users: Logging In

When you access the SWS for the first time, you must login using your student number and your PIN (Personal Identification Number). Your initial six-digit PIN is your year, month and day of birth in YYMMDD format (e.g., April 23, 1980 = 800423). As soon as you have logged in using your birth date PIN, you will be prompted to select a new PIN. You have to select a new PIN only once. You will also be asked to complete a questionnaire that helps you reset your PIN in case you forget it (see PIN reactivation).

Main Menu

After you have successfully logged in to the SWS, select "main menu." The available options are:

Course Enrolment

• manage your courses
• add, modify or delete a course
• ist your courses (includes approved, interim, refused, and waitlisted courses); you can also drop courses from the list
• manage waiting lists (including viewing rank on a waiting list)

View timetable/Spaces

• enter up to three courses and ROSI will show timetable information and space available;
• if courses are full, you can display lectures with waiting lists; the display includes the number of students already on the waiting list

Logout

• Once you have logged in, the session will remain active until YOU log out or the system finds it inactive. The SWS allows one minute between asking for information and receiving it. If it is not received, it assumes you wish to terminate the session. If you begin a transaction and hesitate for one minute or more while you are looking up information, you will get a message indicating you have been timed out.

Maintain your PIN

• change your PIN

PIN reactivation

You no longer need to go into your College Registrar's office to reset your PIN if you forget - just set yourself up for PIN reactivation. When you log onto ROSI, you'll be prompted to set it up. You will be presented with a list of questions; of these, you must answer three. Choose questions and answers you are not likely to forget.

If, after setting up for PIN reactivation, your access to the SWS is suspended or you forget your PIN, you can select the "PIN Reactivation" button from the login page of the SWS. Upon successfully answering two randomly selected questions (of the three you answered during the setup process), you can reset your own PIN and log back in to the SWS.

The CHRM Program Office considers petitions to have regulations waived or varied, if a student presents compelling reasons; however, students must convince the CHRM Program Office that they have acted responsibly and with good judgement in observing the University regulations. If students have failed to observe deadlines, to heed warnings or to organize their academic priorities accordingly, or if they have been negligent about their responsibilities, then special consideration may not be warranted. The petition process is not a means to salvage courses and the academic record, after the fact. The CHRM Petitions Committee routinely denies petitions that in its view do not present a valid reason for an exemption from the regulations. Students are encouraged to seek counselling and, if necessary, to initiate a petition through the CHRM Program Office. All petitions must be submitted in writing.

Deadline to File Petitions
Term work: The last day of the examination period.
Examinations: Within one week of the end of the examination period;
Withdrawal:  Fall/Winter Session courses:  the following 15 November
Withdrawal:  Summer Session courses:  the following 28/29 February

All supporting documentation must be submitted within three weeks of the date of initiating the petition. Late petitions and petitions with late documentation will not be considered.

Documentation in Support of Petitions
The Program Office seeks documentation that provides pertinent evidence for decisions determining whether or not an exception should be made to regulations that are designed to ensure equitable treatment for all students.

Medical Documentation
The “University of Toronto Student Medical Certificate” must be submitted in support of a request for an exemption from University regulations, if illness is being used as the reason for the request. The claim of illness, however, is not sufficient grounds in itself to guarantee approval of the request. Other medical notes will not be accepted. Note that the physician’s report must establish that the patient was examined and diagnosed at the time of illness, not after the fact. The Faculty will not accept a statement that merely confirms a report of illness made by the student for documentation by the physician.

Petitions Regarding Term Work
Matters concerning term work normally fall within the authority of the instructor. Students unable to comply with given deadlines must contact their instructor prior to the deadline if an extension to the deadline is requested. All term work must be submitted by the last day of classes, unless an earlier date has been specified. Instructors may grant extensions beyond their own deadlines or beyond the last day of classes up to the last day of the examination period provided that a student presents reasons of illness, etc., with appropriate documentation. Extensions beyond the last day of the examination period interfere with the Faculty’s schedule for the submission of final grades and must therefore be approved by petition. These petitions for an extension of time for term work must be initiated by the last day of the relevant examination period. Late requests will not be accepted. Students must file the petition with the Program Office after consultation with the instructor regarding a suitable extension date. The Petitions Committee consults the department concerned for information about the status of the course work, and the steps, if any, that must be taken to complete the course. Students seeking an extension of time for term work are expected to continue their course work while they await a decision. They will not be granted additional time after the petition decision has been issued.

Petitions Regarding Examinations
Petitions regarding final examinations must be submitted within five days after the end of the examination period. Late requests will not be accepted. Petitions based on travel, employment, or personal plans will not be considered.

Students are expected to write examinations as scheduled.  Only in cases of documented debilitating illness or legitimate conflict should a student request a deferral of a final examination.  Students who are too ill and/or incapacitated at the time of the examinations should petition to defer the examination they are unable to attend due to their medical condition.  Requests to write exams at an earlier time/date will not be considered. 

A deferred special examination at a subsequent examination period or the regular offering of the examination when next taught may be granted at the discretion of the Faculty.  Satisfactory evidence in the form of the University Student Medical Certificate must be provided to corroborate the illness.  Students with chronic illnesses must provide medical documentation for the specific date on which the illness was acute.  Students must submit a petition to the Program Office within one week of the end of the examination period.  There is a fee of $70.00 per deferred examination (maximum $140.00). In the petition decision students are notified of the examination period in which the deferred examination will take place, and if the examination will be a regular or special examination. They must register and pay the fee by a given deadline, in order that arrangements can be made, an examination requested, etc. The Faculty will notify those who do not register by the deadline that they have lost their privilege of a deferred examination and will revert the grade to one that includes a “0” for the final examination. No further consideration will be given.  The Faculty posts personal deferred examination schedules online for students who have paid the deferred examination fee, as soon after the regular examinations have been scheduled as possible.  Those who do not pay the deferred examination fee lose the privilege of a deferred examination and their grade reverts to one that includes a “0”  for the final examination. 

Deferred Examination Periods

• April/May Final Examination Period
  Deferred Examination: June examination period, if course is offered in Summer Session May to June; August examination period for all others
   
• June Final Examination Period
  Deferred Examination: August examination period, if course offered in Summer Session May/July - August; December examination period, if course is offered in Fall Session; August examination period for all others
   
• August Final Examination Period
  Deferred Examination:  December examination period
   
• December Final Examination Period
  Deferred Examination: April/May examination period, if course offered in Winter Session; Reading Week for all others

Students who must write a deferred examination in a course that serves as a prerequisite for subsequent courses may enrol in those courses with the approval of the department concerned and provided that the term mark in the prerequisite (deferred) course is at least 60%.

NOTES:  N.B.  Students who are granted DEFERRED STANDING (i.e., a grade of “SDF”, for an extension of time for term work or for a deferred examination) or permission to rewrite an examination and who have earned a Cumulative Grade Point Average of less than 1.50 may not be permitted to enrol in further courses until the outstanding course work has been completed and final cumulative and sessional GPAs and status for the session have been assessed.

If students decide to write an examination which does not go well, they MAY NOT PETITION FOR A REWRITE. Post hoc arguments claiming an inability to function at full potential or to exhibit full knowledge of the subject matter will not be accepted as grounds for consideration of a petition concerning performance on an examination. Furthermore, students who choose to write an examination against medical recommendation should do so knowing that they will not be given consideration after the examination has been written. Students must not only take responsibility for making appropriate judgements about their fitness to attend examinations, but also must accept the outcome of their choices.

Students who miss a deferred examination receive a grade of “0” for the examination in the calculation of the final grade. If the Program Office accepts the student’s reasons for missing a deferred examination as legitimate, a further deferred examination may be permitted; however, the “SDF” notation will be replaced by the original grade. Students are charged a further fee for each subsequent deferred examination. Note that in such situations of further deferrals the Petitions Committee on Standing regularly prohibits registration in further sessions until the outstanding course work has been completed.

 

Certificate in Human Resource Management students who have obtained standing in the CHRM and have not registered in the program within the previous 12 months must submit a request for reactivation if they wish to resume their studies in the CHRM Program.

Students admitted to the program who have not completed courses in CHRM are not eligible to submit a reactivation form.  The offer of admission is valid only for a specific academic year - students who did not register during that specific academic year must reapply for admission consideration and meet the current admission requirements. 

If you are not sure of your status in the program please contact the for clarification prior to submitting this form.  Make sure to include your student number in your email.

It is not possible to enrol in additional courses after the student has graduated from this program. 

Space in courses is limited and some courses fill on the first day of enrollment. “Request for Re-activate” must be submitted by the following deadlines:

Summer:  April 1
Fall and Winter:  June 1

If you submit a reactivation form after the deadline there is no guarantee that you will be able to enrol in courses.

Where to submit the form and payment:

HRPA is Canada's HR thought leader and the largest HR association in the country. In Ontario, HRPA regulates the HR profession and issues the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation, the national standard for excellence in human resources management. HRPA has more than 18,000 members in 28 chapters and hosts the largest annual HR conference in Canada. HRPA is the largest community of HR professionals in Canada. Networking and volunteering opportunities through the Association and its 28 chapters give HR professionals a true sense of belonging.

The following information about the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) provides students with a general overview of HRPA.  HRPA is not administered by or affiliated with the University of Toronto.  You are responsible for obtaining complete and up-to-date information about HRPA and its Certification Process directly from HRPA.

Overview of HRPA’s CHRP Certification Process

Completion of HRPA’s certification process confers the right to use the title Certified Human Resources Professional and the right to use the initials C.H.R.P. or CHRP after one’s name.

Certification is a “warrant of competence” or “warrant of expertise”

The overarching objective of HRPA’s certification process is to ensure that those HR professionals who are certified by HRPA possess the knowledge and skills in sufficient degree to competently perform important occupational activities and to protect the public interest.

There are a number of interests to balance in setting the certification standard. On the one hand, it is important to exclude individuals who are deemed to be not qualified to do the work; on the other hand the standards must not be so strict as to unduly restrain the right of qualified individuals to offer their services to employers or clients.

Certification Requirements

HRPA’s certification process has five components:

* Membership Requirement
* Coursework Requirement
* Exam Requirement
* Degree Requirement
* Experience Requirement

These requirements may be achieved in any sequence with the exception that the requisite coursework must be completed before attempting the exam. You must be a member of HRPA to write the exam and to have your experience recognized. When all requirements are met, individuals are notified that they have met all requirements for the CHRP designation as established by the Board of Directors of HRPA and their names have been added to the HRPA Register.

Coursework Requirement

The coursework requirement is established to ensure that certified human resources professionals have a solid foundation in the Human Resources discipline. There are two routes to meeting the coursework requirement: (1) by completing the requisite coursework or (2) by demonstrating equivalent preparation in Human Resources. This second route is called the alternate route and will be discussed below.

The coursework requirement consists of successful completion of nine courses. Successful completion means obtaining a grade of 70% or better over all nine courses with no single course below 65%. The nine courses are:

* Human Resources Management (HRM)
* Organizational Behaviour
* Finance and Accounting
* Human Resources Planning
* Occupational Health and Safety
* Training and Development
* Labour Relations
* Recruitment and Selection
* Compensation

University Policy on Official Correspondence with Students
The CHRM Program Office and other UofTdivisions use electronic message services/website as the main mechanism for delivering official correspondence/information to students.  Official correspondence may include, but is not limited to, matters related to students’ participation in their academic programs, important information concerning University and program scheduling, fees information, and other matters concerning the administration and governance of the University.  Students are responsible for maintaining and advising the University, on the University’s student information system (currently ROSI), of a current and valid postal address as well as the address for a University-issued electronic mail account that meets a standard of service set by the Vice-President and Provost.

Failure to do so may result in a student missing important information and will not be considered an acceptable rationale for failing to receive official correspondence from the University.

UTOR Accounts
As a student at the University of Toronto, you have automatic access to the Information Commons, which is your passport to e-mail, the library and the Internet.

Once you have your TCard, you must activate your University of Toronto e-mail account. Setting up a UTORmail account is mandatory.  Do not forward your UTOR e-mail to other servers which frequently fail to deliver forwarded mail.  Failure to do so may result in a student missing important information and will not be considered an acceptable rationale for failing to receive official correspondence from the University.

TCards
New students are issued a TCard, which serves as the official student card as well as ID for other services, i.e. Library, Athletic Centre, etc. Students must bring one piece of photo-identification ( i.e. driver’s license, passport, etc.) and a current university document containing student name and student number.  Any returning student who needs to replace a lost Photo Library Card or TCard will need to purchase a TCard. To do so, an authorization form from Woodsworth College Registrar’s Office is required, as well as one piece of photo ID.

Change or Correction of Name in the Records of the University of Toronto
Request must be submitted in writing along with supporting documentation such as a birth/marriage/baptismal certificate or a court name change.
Note:  Students who are requesting graduation must submit any changes by specific deadlines.  Check the graduation link on your left.

• Tips to help you avoid carelessly committing an academic offence during your exams:
• Listen to and follow all instructions! Keep your eyes and thoughts to yourself! You may only be looking around to clear your head or mumbling to yourself, but invigilators don't know that!
• Leave all unauthorized aids in your bag/at home! Possession of an unauthorized aid is an offence! If you're not sure what's authorized, ask! Aids include notes or any kind of personal electronic device.
• A cellphone is an unauthorized aid! That means if you've got it on your desk, in your pocket, or anywhere near you, you are committing an offence!
• "Stop writing" means stop writing! When the exam is over, put your pen/pencil down! If you keep writing, you are committing an academic offence!
