Fall & Winter

Select Courses

Review the information provided in the timetable to decide which courses you wish to take. Enrol only in program courses. Prerequisites, co-requisites and exclusions are listed in the timetable. Course descriptions must be carefully observed. Students who do not observe these regulations may be removed from courses at any time. Non-program courses will be removed at any time they are discovered and this may have fees implications. Double-check the time for courses you have chosen to avoid conflicts.  ACORN does not check for time conflicts - it is your responsibility to create a conflict-free schedule, unless otherwise noted.  Students using courses taken at another university (including the University of Toronto Mississauga and the University of Toronto Scarborough) to fulfill prerequisites must contact the offering department prior to enroling or immediately after enroling in the course to avoid being removed.

Spend some time planning out your courses and making a draft schedule. Keep in mind that there are five delivery methods for Arts & Science courses in Fall/Winter 2023-2024:

• In Person: This meeting section is in person. You will be required to attend this meeting section at a specific time and location.
• Online Synchronous: This meeting section is online and requires online participation at a specific time for class activities. There are no in-person activities or assessments (e.g., exams).
• Online Synchronous (with in-person assessments): This meeting section is online with mandatory in-person components (e.g., exams, other assessments). Online activities are scheduled at a specific time.
• Online Asynchronous: This meeting section is online and does not require attendance at a specific time for class activities. There are no in-person activities or assessments (e.g., exams).
• Online Asynchronous (with in-person assessments): This meeting section is online with mandatory in-person components (e.g., exams, other assessments). Online activities are not scheduled at a specific time.

Registration Start Time: July 10, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. (exception: See SOC in the timetable)

The last day to add courses or make section changes to F and Y courses is September 20, 2023; for courses that begin in January, the last day to add courses or change sections on ACORN is January 21, 2024.   Enrol as soon as registration in courses opens on ACORN; this includes courses that start in January.   Remember that course enrolment is done in real-time, on a first-come, first-served basis. Courses fill up fast, so prioritize your top courses and enrol in those first.

Course Conflicts:  If you enrol in two courses that take place at the same time, you will have a conflict. When planning your schedule, it's important to make sure none of your courses overlap in time. Since you can't be in two classes at the same time, you must avoid conflicts in your schedule. 

Note: ACORN will not prevent you from enrolling in courses that conflict.   You should not expect instructors to grant any accommodations if coursework due dates overlap. 

It is important to remember that if you don't pay the minimum installment or defer your fees by the deadline (August 30, 2023) you may be removed from your courses.

If you have not paid all outstanding fees by the deadline, a service charges of 1.5% per month compounded (19.56% per annum) will be applied to your unpaid balances. If you have not paid your fees in full by the end of the session, a financial hold will be placed on your account and you will not be able to register in future sessions until your balance is paid in full.

You can view your fees invoice and account balance on ACORN. Once you have your invoice, you can pay your fees at a bank or through online or telephone banking.

If you applied for OSAP or government financial aid by the deadline and cannot pay the required fees before receiving your funds, you can defer payment of your fees on ACORN.

After you have paid your fees, you can check your registration status in ACORN.  Your registration status is displayed under "Academics" on the Home/Dashboard page after you log in.

• Registered: This means your registration is complete.
• Invited: This means your registration is not complete and you may be removed from courses after the payment deadline noted above.
• Financially Cancelled: This means your registration has been cancelled.
