Summer Session 2013

Late Registration Instructions for the 2013 Summer Session

To enrol in F and Y courses for the 2013 Summer Session, please visit the Office of the Registrar to complete your registration.  The late registration period begins on Friday, May 3^rd and ends at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 10^th (the last day to add F and Y courses is Sunday, May 12^th).

The following 2 steps must be completed at the same time to complete your registration:

1. Present proof of payment for the minimum-amount-to-register to the Office of the Registrar.  The minimum amount includes all outstanding balance from previous sessions plus at least 65% of total anticipated fees for the 2013 Summer Session. 

To determine your minimum amount, view your financial account on SWS (ROSI) to verify if you have any outstanding balance from previous sessions.  Then visit the Student Account’s website (www.fees.utoronto.ca) to determine fees for the 2013 Summer Session.  Refer to the appropriate chart as fees vary depending on program of study and number of credits you wish to enrol for the session.

If you enrol into wait-listed courses only, you can pay a deposit of $100.  The deposit is refundable if you do not get into your wait-listed course(s).

How to Pay:  All tuition payments must be paid through the bank, either in person or online.    To submit payment at the bank, print your invoice from ROSI even though you have not yet enrolled into any courses and take the invoice to your bank.  Online banking is also acceptable. 

Proof of payment must contain the student’s name, student number, U of T account number (refer to invoice), payment date, and amount paid.  A stamped U of T invoice, printout of the confirmation page of payment transaction from online banking, or proof displayed on cell phone are all acceptable.  Do not alter any of the information on the proof of payment. Students who submit forged or altered documentation are subject to severe academic penalties.

2. Pay the late registration fee of $44 for the first day (an additional $5 is added for each subsequent business day).  The late registration fee is payable directly to the Office of the Registrar, by debit or credit card only.  Please do not include the late registration fee payment along with your tuition fee payment.

Once proof of payment and late registration fee are collected, your registration will be complete and you will then have access to course enrolment for the 2013 Summer Session.  Please note that successful registration does not guarantee enrolment into your desired courses.

Steps to Becoming a Summer Student

Step 1: Things to Consider Before Becoming a Summer Student

Are You Ready for a Summer Course?

Summer courses are an intensive way to earn a university credit. A variety of full-credit (Y) courses and half-credit (F or S) courses are offered. Some students thrive in the condensed class environment while others are significantly challenged by it. If you think you’re up to the challenge, then register. If you’re unsure, register and monitor your progress carefully and meet with an academic advisor in the Office of the Registrar to discuss your progress. Deadlines for dropping a course from your academic record are: June 3 for F courses; July 28 for Y courses; and Aug. 5 for S courses. Course refund dates are different. Please see page 13 of the 2013 Summer Registration Guide.  
 

Academic and OSAP Probation & Summer Courses
Students on academic probation should NOT enrol in summer courses. Students on academic probation who enrol in a summer course(s), and do not achieve a 1.70 sessional GPA or a 1.50 CGPA, will be suspended.
Students on academic probation or returning from suspension must see an academic advisor in the Office of the Registrar before enrolling in the Summer session.
Students who are on OSAP Academic Probation must see a financial aid advisor before they consider enrolling in summer courses. 

Step 2: See What's Available Online for Summer

Find Available Courses Online

Check the online timetable for up-to-date course availability, room locations, instructor information, course information page and start times. Consult the Academic Calendar for course descriptions and a complete listing of requirements. It’s a good idea to consult the timetable regularly as course locations change periodically.

Select courses that fulfill degree requirements and meet your personal goals. Make sure you have all necessary prerequisites and/or corequisites.

Summer Full-time/Part-time Status

Maximum Summer Course Load

Students can take up to a maximum of 2.0 credits during the Summer Session and a maximum of two courses in each term. To take more than 2.0 credits (2 courses per term) in the Summer session you must submit an online course overload petition (http://registrar.utm.utoronto.ca/student/petitions) and receive approval prior to the start of classes and no later than the end of the first week of classes. After the end of the first week of classes, students enrolled in more than 2 courses per term without prior petition approval, will have the last course(s) they were enrolled in removed from their course load for that session.

Only students who are have minimum CGPA of 1.85 and who may be eligible to graduate in November 2013 will be considered for a course overload. Consideration may be given to those students with a minimum CGPA of 2.70 with mitigating reasons for requiring a course overload. Students will not receive special consideration of any kind because of a course overload. To calculate course loads, students need to consult the course timetable, www.utm.utoronto.ca/timetable, to determine when the course is offered and the duration of the course. To petition, use this form.

Credit/No Credit Option

Students at University of Toronto Mississauga may select up to a total of 2.0 credits to be assessed on a Credit/No Credit basis.

To achieve a status of CR (Credit), a student must achieve a final mark of at least 50%. Marks below that will be assessed as NCR (No Credit). Courses with a final status of CR will count as degree credits but will have no effect on the student’s GPA. They will count as Distribution Requirements and degree credits, but cannot be used to satisfy Subject POSt requirements.

Courses with a final status of NCR will not count as degree credits and will not be included in the GPA calculation.

Students may exercise this option for a total of 2.0 credits within the total number of credits required for a degree. The choice is not restricted as to year or level of course, but it must be a U of T Mississauga course. This option is not available to non-degree students or to students from other faculties/divisions of the University of Toronto.

The Credit/No Credit option must be chosen or cancelled no later than the last day to cancel that course from your academic record. The online form can be found at www.utm.utoronto.ca/forms.

The Credit/No Credit option cannot be used for a course in which the student has committed an academic offence. If a student has specified the CR/NCR option in a course in which he or she commits an academic offence, the CR/NCR option will be revoked and the percentage grade will stand as the course grade.
 

Step 3: Enrol In Your Courses Using ROSI

Enrolment is the process of selecting your courses on ROSI.

Registration involves both enrolling in courses and paying (or deferring) your fees.

Check your Start Time

U of T Mississauga Summer Session enrolment begins March 21. Check ROSI for your start time on March 18. Your start time is determined by your year of study.

How to Enrol

Go to ROSI beginning March 21 at your start time (see above).

• Login using your Student ID number and PIN.
• Go to "Course Enrolment" and follow the instructions. Use the online calendar and timetable for reference.

Conflicting Courses

In order to succeed, students must fulfill the attendance requirements of each class as set by the professor on the course syllabus. When you are planning your schedule, do not enrol in two or more courses, tutorials or practicals that are held at the same time. Where a student has enrolled in courses held at the same time, no special accommodation will be made (eg. for conflicting tests or exams lecture material, in-class participation, labs, etc.)

Late Registration

A late fee of $44 plus $5 for each additional weekday will apply to any student who initially enrols in Y and/or F courses as of May 6, or S courses only as of July 8.

Step 4: Record When Your Classes Begin & Print a Timetable
 

All course information, including class location, class times, syllabi and instructors, is available from the timetable. This information is updated periodically, so check to ensure your course location, time and instructor do not change before classes begin. 

Step 5: Pay Your Fees

Remember, becoming registered involves both enrolling in courses AND paying (or deferring) your fees. The deadline is April 22. If you miss the April 22 deadline, you will need to visit the Office of the Registrar with proof of your fees payment. If your status is not updated from "Invited" to "Registered" by May 1, you will be removed from your courses on May 2 and your status will be marked as “FINCA” (financially cancelled). If you enrol in an S course only after May 2, you must pay your fees by June 21, or show proof of payment or defer your fees by July 3, or you will be removed from your courses on July 4. If you are only on the wait list, consult with the Office of the Registrar.

If you are unable to pay the first instalment of fees out of your own funds and have applied for OSAP, you may be eligible for a deferral. A deferral allows you to officially postpone fee payment until your OSAP loan documents arrive. (See page 10 of the Summer Registration Guide for more information.)

How are Fees Determined?

Deregulated Program Fees 

Fees Invoices

Methods of Payment

Payments cannot be made at the Office of the Registrar. Please allow at least three to five business days for bank payments to appear on ROSI.  Payment made outside of Canada will take at least 10-14 business days to appear on ROSI.  Payments can be made using one of the following methods:

1. Online & Telephone Banking: The quickest and most convenient method of paying your fees is through online or telephone banking.  Set up “U of T” as a bill to be paid on your online bank account. Your U of T account number is located on the top right hand corner of your ROSI financial account (invoice format). A printout of the payment transaction is your proof of payment.  It must show the amount paid, the payment date, and your UofT account number.
2. Paying at the Bank: If you pay in person at the bank, you will need to bring a print out of your fees invoice from your ROSI account. Keep your stamped bank receipt; it is proof that your fees have been paid.
3. Payment from Outside Canada: Travelex Bank-to-Bank Transfer is available to students from outside of Canada who wish to pay the Canadian dollar payment in the currency of choice at a local bank. There are NO transaction charges from Travelex or the University of Toronto. Payments must be accompanied by the student’s name and account number in order to avoid delays in payment processing. For details visit www.fees.utoronto.ca.
4. Faculty/Staff Fee Waiver: If you are eligible for a U of T faculty/staff fee waiver, complete a fee waiver form found at www.hrandequity.utoronto.ca/forms. Before sending your tuition waiver to the Human Resources (HR) office, you must first pay your incidental fees via the bank by April 22. (If you pay between April 23 and May 1, you must bring your receipt to the Office of the Registrar to have your account updated to “REGISTERED” or you will lose your courses and your registration will be cancelled.) Send your tuition fee waiver and a copy of the receipt for your incidental fees to the HR office where the staff member is employed.
5. Third-party Billing: If your fees are paid by an outside organization directly to the university on your behalf, send a copy of your scholarship/bursary notification letter and a completed invoice to: U of T Student Accounts, 215 Huron Street, Toronto, ON, M5S 1A2. Your letter must reach Student Accounts before May 1.

Fee Refunds

For all financial deadlines please see page 12 of the Summer Registration Guide and check the Student Account website at www.fees.utoronto.ca.
