Graduate Enrollment

How to Sign Up for Distance Courses

 
Always refer to the RO site for up-to-date step-by-step instructions as modifications may occur from year to year. This page is a quick overview.

1. You can register (pre-enrol, add a course) for courses through ROSI  
   up to that term's Deadline Date.  After the Deadline Date, the  
   instructor's permission is required to join a course.

   • The Deadline  Date for Fall Courses is usually at the end of July.

   • For Winter Courses, the Deadline Date is usually at the beginning of December. 

   • The exact Deadline Dates for each term can be found in the "Summer, Fall and Winter Sessions Important Dates" document on the Registrar's site at: http://ro.oise.utoronto.ca
     Click Graduate Studies
     Click Summer, Fall and Winter Sessions Important Dates (under the Registration heading).

2. If you register on ROSI for a course that is already full, you will  
   be added to a waiting list.  If a spot becomes available, you will  
   automatically be enrolled in the course. You will NOT be notified of  
   your enrollment -- you must periodically check ROSI to determine your  
   status in the course. Once the Deadline Date mentioned in #1 is  
   reached, the waiting list is deleted, and you must contact the  
   instructor for permission to join the course.
   
   There is a document that explains the Wait List Do's and Don't's  
   at: http://ro.oise.utoronto.ca/

3. If the Deadline Date is passed, then you will need the instructor's  
   permission to join the course, regardless of whether the course is  
   full or not. If the instructor grants you admission to the course.  
   then you must complete an "Add/Drop Form". This form must be signed by  
   you and submitted to the Registrar's office. The form should also be  
   signed by the instructor. 
   
   However, in Distance Education courses, it  may be difficult to obtain the instructor's signature. In that case, the instructor can confirm his/her permission through email. The instructor's email message should include your name, your student  number, and an explicit statement that you may join the course. You should attach a printout of the instructor's email message to the Add/ Drop form. 
   
   The Add/Drop form can be obtained online by going to:
   http://ro.oise.utoronto.ca/
   Click Graduate Studies
   Click Request Forms (under the Registration heading)
   Click Course Add/Drop
   

4. You can return the completed Add/Drop form to the Registrar's  
   Office using any of the following methods:

• in person (go to the Registrar's Office on the fourth floor of OISE.);

• by regular mail (mailing address: OISE/UT Registrar's Office, 252  Bloor St. West, 4th Floor, Toronto ON, M5S 1V6)

• by fax (416-323-9964)

• by scanning the completed Add/Drop form, with your signature included, and emailing it to Linda Pereira for CTL courses, or Lynn Romero for TPS courses.

Regardless of which method you use, it is important to fill out the  
Add/Drop form correctly, provide all relevant information, and make  
sure your signature is on it.
