Important Notes about using ACORN
Changes are made in real-time
Changes are recorded immediately on the student record system. You will know right away whether or not the transaction is successful.
View your courses in the Enrol & Manage menu
Always take a look at your courses in the Enrol & Manage: Courses menu after you add or cancel courses or make changes to verify you have done what you intended to do. You are charged fees for all courses in which you are enrolled.
Cancellation of Your Last Course
ACORN will warn you if you are cancelling your last course. If you do not intend to take any other courses in the 2016 summer session, choose the "cancel registration" option. This will ensure that your fees account will be adjusted properly. If you intend to enrol in other courses later in the session, consult your College Registrar's office for advice.

Be sure to keep all your contact information, including your Mailing Address, telephone number and U of T email, current on ACORN at all times. Communications from the University are sent to your U of T email address or Mailing Address only. The University is not responsible if these communications are not received because of incorrect information recorded on ACORN.
