Understand Your Degree
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The final key to success is …Understanding your Degree! We will review degree requirements, programs of study, courses, tuition fees and Financial Aid.
Let’s review what you need to know about your degree, as a first year student. This slide will give you an overall picture of what you need to graduate with an Honours Bachelor of Arts (or HBA) degree. When we refer to a ‘course’ we’re generally talking about an individual class. When we refer to a ‘credit’ we’re talking about the weight of a course. Courses are either a 0.5 or half credit, or a 1.0 or full credit. As part of your 20.0 credits you must have: No more than 6.0 introductory-level (100-level) credits At least 6.0 advanced-level (300/400-level) credits Complete a program combination of at least: 1 Specialist or 2 Majors or 1 Major + 2 Minors 12 distinct credits between your program courses (if NOT completing a specialist) Distribution requirements: 1.0 credit from each of three divisions – Humanities, Social Science and Science An overall Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 1.85 (or approximately 63%) Meet with Academic and Departmental Advisors at least once a year, so we can help monitor your progress.
Program of Study • Minimum program requirements:
• 1 specialist or • 2 majors or • 1 major + 2 minors
• Programs of study are requested during the term in which you plan to complete 4.0 UTM credits, including program entry requirements
• Note that some programs require 4.0 UTM credits with final grades
• Some Humanities and Social Science programs have entry requirements which include specific 1st year prerequisites and cumulative grade point average (CGPA) – check the Academic Calendar for detailed information
Presenter
Presentation Notes
You must select your program(s) of study towards the end of first year, when you anticipate completing 4.0 or more credits. At that time you will be selecting either 1 specialist or 2 majors or 1 major + 2 minors. The difference between a specialist, major and minor is the number of credits required within your 20.0 credit degree. Specialist programs consist of 9.0 to 16.0 credits Major programs consist of 6.0 to 8.5 credits and Minor programs consist of 4.0-4.5 credits When choosing your first year courses, consider which UTM program areas you may be interested in pursuing. The academic calendar lists which first year courses are needed for each program, along with any program entry requirements.
• You must complete 1.0 credit from each of the 3 divisions within your 20.0 credits: Science (SCI), Social Science (SSc) and Humanities (HUM)
• Course Distribution is indicated after the course title in the Academic Calendar
• Courses used for program(s) can also be used for distribution
• Not necessary to finish Distribution Requirements in 1st year
Distribution Requirement
Presenter
Presentation Notes
As part of your UTM degree, you need to take at least one full or two half credits in the Science, Social Science and Humanities divisions to expose you to other subject areas and broaden your scope of knowledge. You can find out which of these categories a course belongs to, by checking the Academic Calendar or online course timetable. Distribution requirements can be satisfied by courses taken towards your program(s) or as part of your electives. It is not necessary to finish Distribution Requirements in 1st year. But don’t leave them until your final year as it may be difficult to get in to the courses you want!
Sample Distribution Courses
Science (SCI): • ANT101H5 - Introduction to Biological Anthropology and Archaeology • BIO201H5 - The Biology Behind the News • BIO211H5 - Dinosaurs and the History of Life • ERS120H5 - Planet Earth • CSC104H5 - The Why and How of Computing • ENV100Y5 - The Environment • And more…
Social Science (SSc): • Courses in areas including (but not limited to): Anthropology, Political Science,
Economics and Geography
Humanities (HUM): • Courses in areas including (but not limited to): Fine Art History, History, Women &
Gender Studies, History of Religions and Languages
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Here are a few examples of courses that satisfy distribution requirements for Science, Social Science and Humanities categories.
• Normally, courses appear on your ROSI academic record with a final grade (i.e. B-, 71%).
• You can apply for up to 2.0 credits to be listed as CR/ NCR, instead of a grade.
• You must get a final grade of 50% or higher for a credit (CR); below 50% appears as no credit (NCR)
• CR/NCR courses do not affect your CGPA. CR (credit) courses also count for degree requirements towards graduation, but cannot be used for program requirements.
• Note some departments will not count CR courses as part of the 4.0 credits required for program entry
• CR/NCR can be used for Distribution and/or elective courses • Apply for CR/NCR on ROSI by the drop deadline for that particular
course (F, S and/or Y)
Credit/ No Credit

Online Course Timetable
• Select courses in which you can be successful • Choose courses that interest you • Consider long term goals career, professional/grad school • For some, Grade 12 prerequisites, a minimum grade may be required
www.utm.utoronto.ca/timetable • Course offerings, meeting times, sections • Instructors, rooms • Registration priorities and restrictions • Both Fall/Winter and Summer Sessions
• Lecture sections – e.g. LEC0101 • Tutorial Sections – e.g. TUT0401 • Practical (lab) Sections – e.g. PRA5101
Selecting Courses
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Online course timetable lists all courses offered in the Fall-Winter session (between September and April) How do you decide which courses to select? Select courses in which you think you can be successful; courses that interest you; introductory courses that allow you to enter you desired programs; and consider your long-term career and professional school goals. If the timetable lists multiple lecture, practical or tutorial sections for the same course, you must choose one of each. Please note, not all courses have practical and tutorials.
Each course has a unique course code. Here is an example of ANT101H5S: Introduction to Biological Anthropology and Archaeology. Now let’s take this course code apart to figure out what it means: - The first three letters refers to the subject area. ANT means Anthropology. - 101 means it is a first year or 100 level course The university offers two types of courses: H courses are half credits or 0.5; Y courses are full credits or 1.0. In this example, ANT101H is a half credit. The next number in the example refers to the University of Toronto campus. The UTM campus code is 5. The final letter indicates when the course is offered. During the regular school year, F is Fall/First term that runs from September to December; S is Winter/Second term that runs from January to April, and Y runs all academic year from September to April. Since ANT101H5S is a course listed on the Fall-Winter timetable, this ‘S’ course will begin in January 2014. For courses taken in the Summer session which runs May to August, “F” refers to the first term of summer (May to June) and “S” refers to second term of summer (July to August). Now I’ll explain the three different kinds of instruction: - LEC stands for lecture. A lecture is a traditional class instructed by the course professor. - TUT stands for tutorial. Tutorials are small group sessions held to more fully explore and discuss course issues. Sometimes quizzes and tests are held in tutorial sections, in other cases participation grades are assigned. Check details on the course outline given on the first day of class. - PRA means Practical. Practicals are usually hands-on sessions held in a laboratory. On the course timetable, if a course lists a lecture, tutorial and practical section you MUST choose and attend one of each. Other courses will list a lecture and tutorial (or practical), and some courses only have lecture sections.
Understanding the Terminology Prerequisite A course required as preparation for a higher level course. Any prerequisite listed must be successfully met before a course is taken.
Corequisite A course to be taken concurrently with another course. A corequisite must be taken together with the course if the corequisite has not already been taken and passed
Exclusion A course with content too similar to another for credit to be given to both. A student will not receive degree credit for a course that is listed as an exclusion for a course in which he/she has obtained a passing grade or received transfer credit.
P.I. Means you can seek permission of the instructor or department to take a course, if you do not meet the course condition
Comma (,) or semicolon (;) means “and”
Slash (/) means “or”
For more information, see the Registration Guide & Academic Calendar
Presenter
Presentation Notes
It’s important to understand these terms prior to enrolling in your courses. �A prerequisite is a course required as preparation for a higher level course. Any prerequisite listed, must be successfully met before a course is taken. A corequisite is a course to be taken concurrently (or at the same time) with another course. An exclusion is a course with content too similar to another for credit to be given to both. A student will not receive degree credit for a course that is listed as an exclusion. It is your responsibility to comply with prerequisites, corequisties and exclusions listed in the timetable and calendar course descriptions. While ROSI may allow you to enrol in a course, you are at risk of being removed by the department at any time during their prerequisite checking process if you do not comply with prerequisites, corequisites or exclusions listed.
Sample Fall (F) Timetable: 1st year Social Science or Humanities
• Pre-enrolment in lecture sections of above courses only; students must select tutorials and/or practicals
• Please carefully read the online course timetable for enrolment instructions.
Social Science Humanities
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The following slides are samples of Social Science or Humanities student timetables. Classes begin 10 minutes after the hour, so if your classes are scheduled back to back, you will have enough time to travel from one class/building to another.
Forfeiting Transfer Credits For students with AP, GCE A-Level, IB, French Baccalaureate & CAPE courses only

• Enrol in courses early to avoid waitlists • If courses are full, the waiting list system allows you to “line
up” • Once space is available automatic enrolment • Email notification if enrolled • Added to timetable and tuition fees • It is your responsibility to monitor and cancel waitlist status if
no longer desired • ROSI allows you to enrol in a maximum of 6.0 credits
waitlisted courses are included in this amount
Presenter
Presentation Notes
If the course you are trying to add is full, you will have the option of being placed on a waitlist. Should space become available, you will automatically be enrolled into the course, charged for it and notified by email. Remember to monitor your waitlist status, and remove yourself from the waitlist if you no longer want the course. ROSI allows you to enrol in a maximum of 6.0 credits, including waitlisted courses. You can enrol in 5.0 credits to start, and then beginning July 26th, add up to 6.0 credits if you wish.
How many courses to take?
• 20 credits = 5.0 credits/year (4 years) or
• 20 credits = 4.0 in Fall/Winter + 1.0 in Summer
• Reminder: • No more than 12 hours/week of employment • Consider your commitments – home, family, work • Enrol in a manageable course load
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Students usually take 4.0 – 5.0 credits in their first year of study. Take a manageable course load based on your outside commitments.
Full-time vs. Part-time
• Full-time = 3.0 or more credits (Sept-April) • to stay in on campus Residence • for OSAP eligibility • for Varsity Sports • and other things (ex: scholarships)
• Part-time = 0.5 - 2.5 credits
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Students who are enrolled in 3.0 credits or more are considered full-time status students; those who are in 2.5 or fewer credits for the Fall-Winter (or September to April) session, are considered part-time students. Your student status can affect your eligibility to: play varsity sports, stay in university residence, among others things.
Tuition Fees
• Comprised of academic, incidental, and ancillary fees
• Academic fees are based on the number of enrolled credits, therefore, dropping and adding courses can change fees
• Payment deadline: August 21, 2013
• Pay through online banking or in person at a bank
• Invoices are not mailed - check ROSI on July 15
• May request a fee deferral online at www.rosi.utoronto.ca if you are eligible for OSAP (apply for OSAP now)

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Now let’s talk about your tuition fees. Academic fees are based on the number of enrolled credits. If you drop or add courses, your fees will change accordingly. To stay enrolled in the courses you’ve chosen, make at least the minimum first payment listed on your ROSI account by August 21, 2013. Payments must be made through your bank – the Office of the Registrar does not accept tuition fee payment. Once you’ve paid / deferred your fees, you’ll be officially registered at UTM.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
There are a number of programs offered at UTM which have “deregulated” fees. This means that students in deregulated programs are charged higher tuition fees. Students who are enrolled full-time in one of these deregulated programs, pay a program fee for courses taken between September – April, beginning in their second year of study (or after they have completed 4.0 credits). Part-time students pay tuition on a pro-rated basis. Fees information can viewed on the Student Accounts website at fees.utoronto.ca, and on your ROSI account beginning July 15, 2013 for your individual account balance. Tuition fees do not include additional fees such as books, course materials, meal plan, on-campus housing/residence, parking etc.
