Transcript of Course Selection Step 1: Review Degree and Subject POSt ( P rogram O f St udy) Requirements
There are limits on the number
of 100-level courses that
can be used for credit towards
your degree
Combination of full and half
credits. No time limit for
the completion of a degree
Subject POSts (Programs Of Study) are the focus of your
degree and you should select a
combination of first-year courses that will give you the option to enter
several different Subject POSts at the end of your first year
of study
You have the option of completing either:
one Specialist program (9.0 to 15.0 credits)
or two Major programs
(6.0 to 8.0 credits each) or
one Major program (6.0 to 8.0 credits)
plustwo Minor programs
(4.0 credits each)
Course Selection Step 1: Review Degree and Subject POSt (Program Of Study) Requirements
You can complete more than the “minimum” number of
Subject POSts. You can select up to 3 Subject POSts with a maximum of 2 large Subject
POSts ( e.g. Majors or Specialists).
Breadth Requirements are “exit” requirements – they
don’t have to be completed in your first year of study but are required for the completion of
your degree.
The CGPA determines your academic status (e.g. In Good Standing, On
Academic Probation etc.) and your eligibility to graduate. Grades in the low-to-mid 60’s would provide a CGPA in the
1.85 range.

Step 2: Review Subject POSt (Program Of Study) Options in the Online Calendar and Registration Instructions
A complete listing of Subject POSts, and
program advisor contact information, can be found in the online Registration
Instructions and Timetable.
More detailed Subject POSt information,
including first- year required
courses, can be found in the
online Arts and Science
Calendar.
You don't have to choose your Subject POSts (Programs of Study) until the end of first year but you do
have to think about Subject POSt options in order to make sensible
course choices in your first year of study.
Most Subject POSts will have one or more required first-year courses and
you should select your combination of 5.0 first-year credits carefully to ensure that you will have access to a variety of Subject POSt options at the end of your
first year of study.
Step 3: Review Program Descriptions in online Calendar to determine Required 1st Year courses
Major program in Economics requires two courses in first year with
specific final grades as part of the requirements for admission to this
limited enrolment program: ECO100Y1/ECO105Y1 plus
MAT133Y1/(MAT123H1, MAT124H1)/ (MAT135H1,
MAT136H1)/ MAT137Y1/MAT157Y1
Step 4: Consider Elective Course Options
1. Courses that can help fulfill the Breadth Requirement:
• The required courses for your programs of interest will fulfill some of your breadth requirement.
• You don’t have to complete the Breadth requirement in 1st year, but it can be a good opportunity to take an elective course in a category you need
2. Small class experiences – 199 courses, FLCs, New One
3. These are unique opportunities only available in your 1st year, including a chance to get to know your professor - each class usually has no more than 25 students
• 199 courses are designed to help fulfill the breadth requirement and you should ideally choose one in a category that is different from your main programs of interest
3. Skills development courses – e.g. writing courses and languages:
• Courses such as Effective Writing (ENG100H1) or Writing Essays (INI103H1) can help build skills that will be valuable for other courses you take
• U. of T. offers over 40 different languages to learn
4. Introductory courses that will give you additional Subject POSt options:
• It is important to have several options for Subject POSts at the end of 1st year in case your first choice is not what you expected or you do not achieve the grade needed to enter the program
• Taking an additional introductory course allows you to explore other interests you may have
5. Explore something that wasn’t available in high school or that may help towards future goals:
• The advantage of being at a university as large as U. of T. is the huge selection of courses
• Professional programs (medicine, pharmacy, social work etc.) generally focus on marks and not program choices, but may suggest some courses to take during your undergraduate years
6. Anti-Calendar - available online at www.assu.ca:
• Consider what other students have thought of courses
• The Anti-Calendar is published by the student union and provides student evaluations of courses and professors to help students make informed choices
Step 5: Review Course Descriptions and Course Prerequisites in the Arts and Science online Calendar
PHY131H1 Introduction to Physics I

course listed as an exclusion, then you can’t take PHY131H1 for credit
Lists courses you must have completed before you can
take PHY131H11Lists courses that must be taken
concurrently with PHY131H1
PHY = Departmental Identifier

Campus code indicator. 1 = course offered on the St. George campus
Lists courses that are recommended by the Department as pre-requisites or co-
requisites for PHY131H1, but not required
Course is a Breadth Requirement (BR) from Category 5 ‘The Physical and Mathematical
Universes’
Step 6: Understand Credit and Section Codes in Order to Create Your Timetable
September ------------------------------- December January ------------------------------------------ April
H Course Code (0.5 credit)
F Section Code = First Term
H Course Code (0.5 credit)
S Section Code = Second Term
Y Course Code (1.0 credit)
F Section Code = First Term
Y Course Code (1.0 credit)
S Section Code = Second Term
Y Course Code (1.0 credit)
Y Section Code = Full ‘Year’ (Sept. – April)
H Course Code (0.5 credit)
Y Section Code = Full ‘Year’ (Sept. – April)
Step 7: Consult the online Registration Instructions and and Timetable for Time and Location of Course Offerings
‘H’ indicates 0.5 credit‘F’ section code indicates
course takes place in First Term – Sept. to Dec.Several Lecture,
Practical and Tutorial Meeting Sections to choose from. You
must choose one of each type
if offered (not every course will offer
Practical and Tutorial Meeting Sections)
Meeting Section codes correspond to specific time slots e.g. Lecture L0201 takes place on Tues. (‘T’),
Thurs. (‘R’) and Fri (‘F’), from 12:10 till 1:00 p.m. (Classes begin 10
minutes after the hour and end on the hour.) Practical (lab) P0401
takes place on (‘R’) Thurs. from 2:10 till 5:00 p.m.
(A) Indicates that the Practical (lab) Meeting Section takes place in alternate weeks, not every week. This may allow you to create a more “efficient” timetable by selecting a Practical Meeting Section for a first-year science course
that will alternate - in the same time slot - with a Practical Meeting Section in another first-year science course. e.g. CHM138H1 (F) P0201 (Tues. 2:10-5:00) will alternate with BIO120H1 (F) P0202 (Tues. 1:30-4:30).
( Refer to online Registration Instructions and Timetable for more details. )
Enrolment Indicators and Controls (See online Registration Instructions and
Timetable for details) give access to a course to specific groups of students for specific times and some courses –
those with ‘E’ Enrolment Indicators cannot be added via R.O.S.I./S.W.S
A general location on campus is provided for first-year courses to assist you in
planning your academic timetable. Avoid back-to-back East/West classes as it is
difficult to travel across campus in the 10 minute interval between classes
Some courses will offer a waitlist option if the meeting
section is filled. A ‘Y’ indicator means that a waitlist function
is available.
Step 8: Check Faculty Website for Changes to Timetable Listings Prior to Course Enrolment
Check course listings on the Faculty of Arts and Science’s online Timetable periodically to see if there have been any changes made to
the time or location of classes you wish to enrol in
Step 9: Plan and Record Course Preferences
List your 5.0 credits in order of priority. You select all of your
First Term, Second Term and Full Session courses when you log on
to ROSI at your assigned start time.
Make timetabling easier by scheduling the 1st choice of
Lecture/Practical/Tutorial Meeting Sections for all 5.0 credits before attempting to schedule 2nd or 3rd
choice “back-up” meeting sections for each course.
Try to select 2nd and 3rd choice “back-up” Meeting Sections in the event that your first choice of Lecture/Practical/Tutorial is filled. Ensure that these “back-up”
options do not create timetable conflicts or back-to-back East/West difficulties
Choose alternate courses in the event that you
cannot obtain a space in one of your first 5.0 preferred courses
Courses selected to
meet the first- year
requirements for entry to
your preferred Subject POSts
Elective courses selected to fulfill
additional breadth
requirements; provide
alternate/back-up program
options; allow for the
acquisition of new skills etc.
You may take 200-level (second year) courses in your first year of study
provided that you have the appropriate background (prerequisites, corequisites etc.) but 200-level courses are generally more difficult and demanding than 100-
level courses
