Be sure to check out the Course Selection Module
All students attending in person or virtual programmng are required to review the Course Selction module (and Transfer Credit module for transfer students) beforehand. Within these modules you will learn about: degree requirements, resources available to help you choose your courses, how to enroll in your courses (using a student-web service called ACORN) and how to plan ahead to complete your program and degree requirements.
- Throughout the module you will find opportunities to check your knowledge which will help you feel prepared to make informed decisions about your course selection
- Hosted on the UofT Learning Management System called "Quercus", all students will be automatically added to the FirstYear@UTSC course (remember to login using the button the upper left corner once you are at the page)
