Statement Regarding In-Person Learning
The University of Toronto delivers academic programs through an in-person learning environment. All students should therefore plan to attend on-campus activities in person in order to successfully complete their program/degree unless: (i) students have been approved by the University to participate in off-campus activities (such as study abroad or work terms), or (ii) the calendar entry for a program/degree explicitly states that no in-person activities are required.

While the University strives to maintain an in-person learning environment, the University reserves the right to alter the manner in which it delivers its courses and co-curricular opportunities in response to health and safety emergencies and public health guidance.

Academic Sessions and Terms
There are two Academic Sessions at the Faculty of Arts & Science.

  • The Fall/Winter Session runs from September to April and is divided into two terms: First (September to December) and Second (January to April).

    • Each term of the Fall/Winter is comprised of 12 weeks for classes/lectures (thus, 24 weeks in total for the Session) and includes days for study break and for Faculty final exams (also called the Exam Period). Some courses, normally full (1.0 credit) courses, run the full 24 weeks from September to April; normally half-courses (0.5 credit) run in the Fall or Winter term. In some cases, courses may repeat and be offered in the Fall and the Winter.

    • Enrolment for an upcoming Fall/Winter normally begins in early July.

  • The Summer Session runs from May to August (with a total of 12 weeks possible for course content) and has two short terms, a “First” and “Second”.

    • The first term runs from early May to mid-June, the other from early July to mid-August. Days are also allotted for exam preparation and for writing exams. Because of this compressed time period, many courses have double the normal lectures/tutorials in any week, and so the limit on the number of classes a student can take in the Summer is lower.

    • Enrolment for an upcoming Summer session normally begins in early March.

Students enrolled in a course are normally expected to be available from the start of classes through to the end of the Session, which is the last day of the final exam period.

Course Offerings

Each academic unit reserves the right not to offer every course every academic year. Every effort, however, is made to ensure that core mandatory courses are offered reliably every year, and in many cases, more than once through an academic year.  Rules and Regulations relating to the CHRM program are found in CHRM Calendar.
