Important Dates
Managing your time effectively also means being aware of the many dates and deadlines that affect you as a student, and planning accordingly. Most important University dates are divisional - that is, they are specific to your faculty, school, UTSC, UTM or a specific program of study. The official source for these dates is your division's academic calendar.
Here are the different kinds of dates you should seek out from your division and carefully record. This is not an exhaustive list; rather a starting point.
Each faculty or school publishes a list of important academic dates. These include the first and last day of classes, examination periods and the deadlines for adding and dropping courses. Please note that course add/drop dates are
not the same as the fee refund schedule for your division (see Financial Dates below).
Here are the links to the Sessional Dates for the largest University divisions:
For all other divisions, check your
academic calendar .
Financial Dates
Deadlines for fee payment, fee refund schedules and other financial dates are posted on the
Student Accounts Web site .
Each division publishes a refund schedule (
summer 2008 |
fall/winter 2008-2009 ). This schedule outlines the dates by which you must drop a course in order to be refunded all or part of your fees. The refund dates are
not the same as the academic add/drop dates (see above).
Exam Timetables
Most exam timetables are published online. Here are link to some of the largest divisions' examination timetables.
All other students should check with their faculty registrar for up to date information regarding exam schedules.
