Fall & Winter

 

Students must use the Timetable Builder (TTB) to look up  course scheduling details. TTB an explorative tool that lets you search for courses and build potential timetables. It does not connect to your ACORN account, does not check your eligibility for courses, and will not enrol you in courses. To enrol, please visit ACORN during your assigned enrolment times. For detailed information about course enrolment overall, or for instructions for specific courses, remember to check the information listed on this page.  

You may only enrol in courses that are part of the CHRM program.  ACORN does not check for program requirements.  Enrolling in a non-CHRM program will result in being removed from courses at any time when discovered and the student will be responsible for paying any fees associated with the enrolment of such courses.  No exceptions will be made.

Program Requirements:

The courses offered in this program are from the Faculty of Arts & Science and may be available only during the day or evening in the Summer and the Fall/Winter Sessions. Not all courses may be offered every session. Please consult the timetable for course offerings.  Certain groups of students in the Faculty of Arts and Science in programs other than CHRM may be given priority for enrolment into certain courses.

A Certificate in Human Resource Management will be awarded upon successful completion of five (5.0) full course equivalents with a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average of 1.85.

Students must complete 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs), of which no more than 1.0 FCE may be taken from Group B. 
Most students will complete the 5.0 FCEs from Group A.

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 fee implications. Double-check the time for the 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 before enrolling or immediately after enrolling in the course to avoid being removed.

Notes:

  1. The courses offered in this program are from the Faculty of Arts & Science and may be available only during the day or evening in the Summer and the Fall/Winter Sessions. Not all courses may be offered every session. Please consult the timetable for course offerings.  Certain groups of students in the Faculty of Arts and Science in programs other than CHRM may be given priority for enrolment into certain courses. 
  2. Enrol as soon as registration in courses opens on ACORN; this includes courses that start in January.   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.  If a course is full, you must add yourself to the waiting list.  It is not possible to bypass the waiting list.
  3. Do not enrol in course conflicts (ACORN will not prevent you from enrolling in courses that conflict).    Instructors will not accommodate missed classes, tests, or assessment due dates resulting from timetable conflicts.

 

The following applies to students who have secured spaces in courses or are only waitlisted in courses.  If you don't pay the minimum installment or defer your fees by the deadline (August 11, 2026), you may be removed from your enrolled and/or waitlisted courses.  Payments can take up to ten business days to be recorded in ACORN – the University has a grace period to allow for the processing time. You do not need to worry about being removed from your courses if you've made your minimum payment by the deadline.  

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.  Students removed from a course for non-payment of fees will not be reinstated if the course has reached capacity. Any position previously held on the waitlist will be forfeited and cannot be restored. 

Important:  If your status still shows as "Invited" as of August 18, 2026, it means your payment has not reached the University, and you risk being removed for non-payment of fees. To secure your courses and rank in the waitlisted courses, you must email us your proof of payment no later than 4 pm on August 19, 2026.  

If you have not paid all outstanding fees by the deadline, a service charge 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 for future sessions until your balance is paid in full.

You can view your fees invoice and account balance on ACORN (https://acorn.utoronto.ca/).  Once you have your invoice, you can pay your fees at a bank or online.

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.

The Office of Student Accounts is responsible for your tuition and ancillary fees, processing payments, issuing refunds, and applying service charges. For detailed information about fees and refunds, visit the Office of Student Accounts website.

Course enrolment begins in July, and many Fall and Winter courses fill quickly. Students are encouraged to enrol as early as possible, as delaying registration may reduce their chances of securing a place in their preferred courses.

*Important:  Refund deadlines are not the same as course cancellation deadlines. Check Student Accounts for the refund schedule.

Non-Attendance:  Non-attendance in courses is not the same as dropping the course from your official record on ACORN.  Students who stop attending classes are still registered in the course, and the transcript will reflect the grade earned to date (usually a failure).

The academic dates include enrolment dates, drop deadlines, exam periods, petition deadlines, and more.  You may view them using the link below.

It is important to take note of all your academic dates, payments, and refund deadlines. Your refund eligibility depends on a variety of factors, including how your fees are assessed (either program fee or course fee) and on what date you cancelled the course. 

Important dates are posted here:  https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/dates-deadlines/academic-dates#academic-dates-deadlines-accordion-6

Visit the Fees & Refunds page for information about how to pay your fees and learn how fees and refunds are calculated. Visit the Office of Student Accounts website for information about your tuition and ancillary fees, payments, refunds, and service charges.

Being unaware of, or misinterpreting, an academic, payment, or refund deadline is not a valid reason to request an exception or extension.

For refund deadlines, please refer to the Office of Student Accounts website.

Dropping courses:
If you decide that you no longer want to take a course, drop it as soon as possible. This applies to courses that you've added to the waitlist, as well as those in which you are enrolled. If you drop the course before the deadline to add courses, your space becomes available to another student. If you’re not sure how to drop a course, check out the ACORN How-To page.

Last day to cancel:  This is the last day to cancel an individual course on ACORN so that it disappears from your permanent academic record.

Financial Aid:
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a government financial aid program that assists eligible Ontario residents attending university through a combination of loans and grants.  For more information please visit https://future.utoronto.ca/finances/financial-aid/osap-and-other-government-aid/

UofT Tuition Waiver:
For instructions and information, visit https://studentaccount.utoronto.ca/making-payments/pay-with-a-tuition-waiver-for-staff-and-dependants-of-staff/

Important:    You must pay your incidental fees and plan sufficient time for your bank to transfer the funds to the University’s bank account by August 112, 2026 otherwise you will be required to show proof of payment to the CHRM Program Ofice by August 19, 2026 to complete your registration.  Students whose payment is not received by August 19, 2026 or fail to present proof of payment by August 19, 2026 risk being removed from courses for non-payment of fees.  Reinstatement will not be possible if courses are full.  For questions regarding Staff waiver eligibility, please contact your HR department.

Waitlists let you "line up" for courses that are currently full. If space becomes available and you are next on the waitlist, you will be enrolled automatically.  There are no fees associated with being on the waitlist for a course. If you are enrolled in the course from the waitlist, you will be charged additional fees. You are responsible for managing your course load, this includes dropping courses by the appropriate deadlines to avoid fee charges, as charges will not be reversed.  No exceptions will be made for students who fail to manage their course enrolments promptly. 

Things to Consider

  • In the Fall/Winter session, you can be on the waitlist for up to 2.0 credits per term.

  • If you are on the waitlist for a course, it will count towards your maximum course and term load.

  • Not all courses have waitlists.

  • You cannot enrol in one section of a course and add yourself to the waitlist for another section.

  • You can add yourself to the waitlist for multiple sections of the same course. If you are on the waitlist for multiple lecture sections of a course, and are subsequently enrolled in any one of these lecture sections, you will automatically be removed from the other waitlists.

Waitlists for Tutorial/Practical sections
Tutorials (TUT) and Practicals (PRA) don't have waitlists. You can only add yourself to the waitlist for a lecture (LEC) section of the course. If you are enrolled from the waitlist, you are responsible for adding any tutorial and practical sections.

Enrolling in a Course from a Waitlist
When a spot opens up, you will be enrolled in the course from the waitlist automatically. An email will be sent to your U of T email account to notify you that you have been enrolled. If you were on waitlists for additional sections of the course, you will be removed from those waitlists automatically.

Waitlists and Fees
There are no fees associated with being on the waitlist for a course.  If you are enrolled in the course from the waitlist, you will be charged additional fees. You are responsible for managing your course load. This includes dropping courses by the appropriate deadlines to avoid fee charges, as charges will not be reversed.  No exceptions will be made for students who fail to manage their course enrolments by the appropriate deadlines.
 
Waitlist Deadlines
Waitlists are closed on a specific date each term, usually a few days before the last day to add courses. Check the Important dates for the date that the waitlists close, and the last day to enrol in courses.
You could be enrolled from the waitlist up until 11:59 pm EST (Toronto time) on the date that the waitlists close. After 11:59 pm on that date, everyone is removed from the waitlist. Spaces that open up from students dropping the course are available on ACORN on a first-come, first-served basis until the last day to enrol in courses.
