Timetable example : CHM138H1

‘H’ indicates 0.5 credit

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

‘F’ section code indicates course takes place in First

Term – Sept. to Dec. Some courses will offer a waitlist option if the meeting

section is filled. A ‘Y’ indicator means that a waitlist function

is available on ROSI (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 Timetable for more details. )

Enrolment Indicators and Controls 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 ROSI/SWS

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.

1.Review Degree requirements2.Review Subject POSt/program options3.Find your 1st year required courses4.Consider your elective options5.Check course descriptions in the Calendar6.Check course information in the Timetable7.Create a schedule with a list of courses and

back up choices8.Check the A&S website for any updates9.Enroll on ROSI

Page 12: 2015-2016 Sciences. 1. Introduction 2. Materials for choosing courses 3. Steps to choosing courses 4. Important Dates 5. Registration & Fees 6. Keys to

Step 1: Review Degree RequirementsCombination

of full and half credits.

No time limit for the

completion of a degree

There are limits on the number

of 100-level courses that

can be used for credit towards

your degreeSubject 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 17.5 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)

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.

Students admitted after

September 2010 do NOT complete the Distribution Requirement

Page 13: 2015-2016 Sciences. 1. Introduction 2. Materials for choosing courses 3. Steps to choosing courses 4. Important Dates 5. Registration & Fees 6. Keys to

Breadth Requirement

Must take at least 4.0 credits from the following categories:take at least 4.0 credits from the following categories:

1. Creative and Cultural Representations (CCR)2. Thought, Belief and Behaviour (TBB)3. Society and Its Institutions (SII)4. Living Things and their Environment (LTE)5. The Physical and Mathematical Universes (PMU) 

Credits must be either:a) 1.0 credit in each of 4 of the 5 categories; orb) 1.0 credit in each of 3 of the 5 categories and 0.5 in

each of the other 2 categories

Page 14: 2015-2016 Sciences. 1. Introduction 2. Materials for choosing courses 3. Steps to choosing courses 4. Important Dates 5. Registration & Fees 6. Keys to

Step 2: Review Subject POSt (Program Of Study) Options

Most Subject POSts have one or more required first-year courses.

Select your combination of 5.0 first-year credits carefully to ensure that you will have a

variety of Subject POSt options at the end of your first year of

study.

Start with the listing of Subject POSt options on the New Students

website under ‘Course Selection’

More detailed Subject POSt information,

including first- year required courses,

can be found in the Calendar.

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, Foundational Year Programs, eg. UC One

• 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, law, social work etc.) generally focus on marks and not program choices, but may suggest some courses to take during your undergraduate years

Step 7: Sample course choices with back up options: Life Science

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
