Step 3: Review Program Descriptions in Calendar to determine required 1 st Year courses Economics Major (Arts program) This is a limited enrolment program. Students who request the program and obtain at least the specified mark(s) in the required course(s) will be eligible to enrol. Programs determine the type of degree you receive: Required courses and grades for program enrolment: - Honours Bachelor of Arts (H. B. A. ) - Honours Bachelor of Science (H. B. Sc. ) (ECO 101 H 1 with a final mark of at least 63% and ECO 102 H 1 with a final mark of at least 63% , or ECO 105 Y 1 with a final - Bachelor of Commerce (B. Com. ) mark of at least 80%), AND MAT 133 Y 1 with a final mark of at least 63%, or Major in Economics (MAT 135 H 1 with a final mark of at least 60% and MAT 136 H 1 withprogram a final mark of at leastrequires 60%), ortwo FCE’s (Full Credit Equivalents) in first MAT 137 Y 1 with a final mark of at least 55%, or year as part of the requirements for MAT 157 Y 1 with a final mark of at least 55%. admission to this limited enrolment program: ECO 101 H 1+ECO 102 H 1 (or ECO 105 Y 1) plus MAT 133 Y 1 (or MAT 135 H Program Course Requirements: 7 full courses or their equivalent + MAT 136 H or MAT 137 Y 1 or MAT 157 Y) First Year (2. 0 FCE): 1. (ECO 101 H 1 + ECO 102 H 1)/ECO 105 Y 1; 2. MAT 133 Y 1 /(MAT 135 H, MAT 136 H)/MAT 137 Y 1/MAT 157 Y 1 Minimum grades in required first year courses Second Year (Core courses, 3. 0 FCE) : determine eligibility for admission to 1. ECO 200 Y 1/ECO 204 Y 1/ECO 206 Y 1, limited enrolment programs of study 2. ECO 202 Y 1/ECO 208 Y 1/ECO 209 Y 1, 3. ECO 220 Y 1/ECO 227 Y 1/(STA 220 H 1, STA 255 H 1)/(STA 257 H 1, STA 261 H 1)

Consider Elective Course Options: 1. Introductory courses that will give you additional program options: 4. 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 1 st year, but it can be a good opportunity to take an elective course in a category you need • It is important to have options for several programs at the end of 1 st 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 that you may have 2. Small class experiences – 199 courses, FLCs, New One (other college ‘One’s), • • These are unique opportunities only available in your 1 st 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 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, pharmacy, social work etc. ) generally focus on marks and not program choices, but may suggest some courses to take during your undergraduate years 3. Skills development courses – e. g. writing courses and languages: 6. Review Course Evaluations on the Learning Portal (portal. utoronto. ca) • • Consider what other students have thought of courses • Evaluate the courses you are enrolled in • Courses such as Effective Writing (ENG 100 H 1) or Writing Essays (INI 103 H 1) can help build skills that will be valuable for other courses you take U. of T. offers over 40 different languages to learn

Step 4: Understand Course codes and descriptions in the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar Campus code indicator. 1 = course PHY = Departmental Identifier offered on the St. George campus Y = 1. 0 (Physics credit, H Department) = 0. 5 credit First digit indicates year level Course code PHY 131 H 1 Introduction to Physics I Course Description Course title A first university physics course primarily for students not intending to pursue a Specialist or Major program in Physical or Mathematical Sciences. Topics include: classical kinematics and dynamics, momentum, energy, force, friction, work, power, angular momentum, oscillations, waves, sound. Prerequisite: MCV 4 U Calculus & Vectors / MHF 4 U Functions & Calculus Corequisite: MAT 135 H 1/MAT 137 Y 1/MAT 157 Y 1 Exclusion: PHY 151 H 1 Recommended Preparation: SPH 4 U Physics and SCH 4 U Chemistry Lists courses you must have Course is a Breadth Requirement completed before you can (BR) Category 5 ‘The Physical take PHY 131 H 1 and Mathematical Universes’ Lists courses that must be taken concurrently with Distribution Requirement Status: This is a Science course PHY 131 H 1 Coursesthat withare similar course content. Courses recommended by the Breadth Requirement: The Physical and Mathematical Universes (5) If you have taken a course Department as pre-requisiteslisted or coas an exclusion, then you can’t requisites for PHY 131 H 1, but not required take PHY 131 H 1 for credit

Step 5: Understanding Credits and Section Codes for Timetabling Purposes September ---------------- December January --------------------- April H Course Code (0. 5 credit) F Section Code (Timetable) = First Term S Section Code (Timetable)= Second Term Y Course (Code 1. 0 Credit) Y Section Code (Timetable) = Full Year (Sept. -April) Y Course Code (1. 0 credit) F Section Code (Timetable) = First Term S Section Code (Timetable) = Second Term H Course (Code 0. 5 credit) Y Section Code (Timetable) = Full Year (Sept. -April)

Commerce First Year Rotman Commerce students will be pre-enrolled in 4. 0 credits: RSM 100 H, MAT 133 Y and ECO 101 H 1, ECO 102 H 1. Courses required for program admission and completion. and RSM 219 H 1, RSM 230 H 1 and RSM 250 H 1. Optional courses designed to give insight into Specialist Programs. Should have electives to provide additional/alternate program options

Step 6: Consult Online Fall/Winter Session Registration Instructions and Timetable for Course Offerings, Times and Enrolment Instructions ‘F’ section code ‘H’ indicates 0. 5 credit course takes place in First Term Sept. to Dec. Several–Lecture, Activity codes correspond to specific time slots e. g. Lecture LEC 0101 takes place on Practical and Tutorial Some courses will offer the option Mon. , Wed. and Fri. from 12: 10 till 1: 00 Meeting Sections to of joining a waitlist if the meeting p. m.

A ‘Y’ indicator hour and end on the hour. ) Practical (lab) choose one of each type means that a waitlist function is PRA 0302 takes place on Thurs. from 2: 10 (if offered – not every available till 5: 00 p. m. Practical (lab) Meeting Section takes place in alternate course will offer Practical weeks, not every week. This may allow you to create a and Tutorial Meeting more “efficient” timetable by selecting a Practical Meeting Sections) Section for a first-year science course that will alternate - in the same time slot - with a Practical Meeting Section in Enrolment Indicators and Controls give first-year science course. e. g. CHM 135 H 1 (F) access to a course to specific groups another of students for specific times (See PRA 0302 (Thurs. 2: 00 -5: 00) will alternate with BIO 120 H 1 (F) for PRA 0301 (Thur. 1: 30 -4: 30). ( Refer to online Timetable Registration Instructions and Timetable for more details. ) details) and some courses – those with ‘E’ Enrolment Indicators cannot be added via ACORN/ROSI
