Message from the Dean
The Faculty of Arts & Science Calendar is your guide to the wide range of academic choices available to you. With over 300 undergraduate
programs and 4,000 courses to choose from, you have a chance to pursue what you’ve always wanted to study as well as discover new
interests. As a student in Arts & Science, you have the flexibility to assemble your degree the way you want – combine different subjects by
doing majors and minors, or focus on a specific area by completing a specialist program. In addition, the Faculty’s Foundational Year, Research
Opportunities and Summer Abroad Programs provide our students unique learning experiences at different stages of their degree. While such
choice is exciting, it can also be somewhat overwhelming! Please remember that there are many people who work in Arts & Science whose job
it is to help you select your courses and programs based on your interests and goals. Your first stop for such advice is always your college
registrar’s office and I encourage you to take advantage of their expertise.
Besides the supports and services available at your College, the Faculty and the University at large, you have access to a number of online
tools to help you succeed. Use Degree Explorer (degreeexplorer.utoronto.ca) to check your academic progress and plan your future course
choices. Access past sessions’ course evaluation results on BlackBoard (portal.utoronto.ca) and find out what other students had to say about
these courses. Of course, whether you are in first or fourth year, there’s more to life as a student than your courses. You can explore the variety
of ways to get involved outside the classroom on the Co-Curricular Record database (ccr.utoronto.ca). We wish you all the best for the year and
as always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions about what we can do to improve your experience as a student in Arts & Science. Just
email us at ask.artsci@utoronto.ca.
Sincerely,

Important Notices
Important Notices
The undergraduate academic Calendar of the Faculty of Arts & Science is published online only. Any corrections and/or updates will be posted
here. Students are strongly advised to check the Calendar regularly to keep informed of changes.
While Departmental counsellors and the Registrars of the Colleges are always available to give advice and guidance, it must be clearly
understood that THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS WITH THE STUDENT for completeness and correctness of course selection, for
compliance with prerequisite, co-requisite requirements, etc., for completion of Program details, for proper observance of the Breadth or
Distribution Requirement and for observance of regulations, deadlines, etc.
Students are responsible for seeking guidance from a responsible officer if they are in any doubt; misunderstanding, or advice received from
another student will not be accepted as cause for dispensation from any regulation, deadline, program or degree requirement.
Effective for students registering in a degree program in the Faculty for the first time in the 2001 summer session or later, ONLY 20-course
(four-year) Honours B.A., B.Sc. and BCom degrees will be available. The St. George Campus of the Faculty of Arts and Science has
discontinued the 15-course (three-year) B.A. and B.Sc. degrees. Students registered in a degree program in the Faculty before the 2001
summer session may still choose a 15-course (three-year) degree.
The programs of study that our Calendar lists and describes are available for the year(s) to which the Calendar applies. They may not
necessarily be available in later years or offered in all years. If the University or the Faculty must change the content of programs of study or
withdraw them, all reasonable possible advance notice and alternative instruction will be given. The University will not, however, be liable for
any loss, damages, or other expenses that such changes might cause.
For each program of study offered by the University through the Faculty, the courses necessary to complete the minimum requirements of the
program will be made available annually. We must, however, reserve the right otherwise to change the content of courses, instructors and
instructional assignments, enrolment limitations, pre-requisites and co-requisites, grading policies, requirements for promotion and timetables
without prior notice.
As members of the University of Toronto community, students assume certain responsibilities and are guaranteed certain rights and freedoms.
The University has several policies that are approved by the Governing Council and which apply to all students. Each student must become
familiar with these policies. The University will assume that he or she has done so. The rules and regulations of the Faculty are listed in this
Calendar. In applying to the Faculty, the student assumes certain responsibilities to the University and the Faculty and, if admitted and
registered, shall be subject to all rules, regulations and policies cited in the Calendar, as amended from time to time.
More information about students’ rights and responsibilities can be found at http://life.utoronto.ca/get-help/rights-responsibilities/
Enrolment Limitations
The University makes every reasonable effort to plan and control enrolment to ensure that all of our students are qualified to complete the
programs to which they are admitted, and to strike a practicable balance between enrolment and available instructional resources. Sometimes
such a balance cannot be struck and the number of qualified students exceeds the instructional resources that we can reasonably make
available while at the same time maintaining the quality of instruction. In such cases, we must reserve the right to limit en rolment in the
programs, courses, or sections listed in the calendar, and to withdraw courses or sections for which enrolment or resources are insufficient. The
University will not be liable for any loss, damages, or other expenses that such limitations or withdrawals might cause.

Admission Requirements
English Facility Requirement
Applicants whose first language (language learned at home as a child) is not English may have to present proof of English facility. For details,
see the Enrolment Services web site.
Applicants to the Faculty apply into a general admission category rather than a specific Program of Study, as all Arts & Science students take a
general first year. The specific course requirements and average or standing required for each admission category vary from year to year.
Detailed information about admission requirements is available on the Enrolment Services website (www.future.utoronto.ca).
Candidates with acceptable standing at other universities, or at other divisions of this University, may be considered for admission with transfer
credit provided that the content of the studies for which credit is sought is considered appropriate for inclusion in a degree program offered by
the Faculty. Transfer credits are assessed to admitted students who have completed the online Transfer Credit application
(www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/tc/onadmission). A $30.00 CAD fee will be required for transfer credit assessment to be completed.
Students who have completed more than two years of study at a recognized university cannot transfer into the same field of study and will be
considered as equivalent to those who already hold a degree. Students who have completed a bachelor’s degree: see section entitled
“Admission of External Students to a Second Degree Program” in the next section. The Faculty grants up to a maximum of five credits to
candidates who have completed a three-year diploma at Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology/Institutes of Technology and
Advanced Learning, and up to a maximum of three generic credits to candidates who have completed a two-year diploma at Ontario Colleges
of Applied Arts and Technology/Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning. Otherwise a maximum of ten transf er credits may be granted
for previous study. Students who have completed post-secondary studies are required to apply for on-admission transfer credit.
7
Undergraduate Admission
Regardless of the number of transfer credits granted, at least five of the six 300+series full course equivalents (FCE) required for an Honours
degree must be completed with a passing mark in this Faculty. Newly admitted students have one year from the date of their transfer credit
assessment, or from the date of their first registration in the Faculty, whichever is later, to request a reassessment or adjustment. The same
time limit applies to all departmental interviews required as part of the transfer credit assessment.
Candidates who have completed Arts & Science courses while enrolled in other Divisions of this University or while enrolled as non-degree
students in this Faculty prior to degree studies will normally have these courses and grades included in the Arts & Science academic record.
Faculty of Arts & Science rules and regulations apply.
Admission from the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), and the University of Toronto
Scarborough (UTSC)
Candidates admitted for transfer from the University of Toronto Mississauga and the University of Toronto Scarborough will have all University
of Toronto Mississauga or University of Toronto Scarborough courses, grades, Credit/No Credit requests, and LWD requests included in their
Arts & Science academic record, and will be subject to Faculty rules and regulations. Note: a limit of six 100-level/A-level FCE is applied. All
300+ level credits may apply to the 6.0 FCE requirement for a degree in the Faculty of Arts & Science. Students admitted to Arts & Science
may not retain University of Toronto Mississauga or University of Toronto Scarborough programs, whether complete or incomplete. Only Arts &
Science programs may be used to complete degree requirements in the Faculty.
Students who have completed more than 10 UTM/UTSC FCE towards an Arts & Science degree are not eligible to transfer to the Faculty of
Arts & Science.
Admission from the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design
Candidates admitted for transfer from the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design will have all courses, grades,
Credit/No Credit requests, and LWD requests included in their Arts & Science academic record, and will be subject to Faculty rules and
regulations. Note: a limit of six 100-level FCE is applied. All 300+ level credits may apply to the 6.0 FCE requirement for the degree in the
Faculty of Arts & Science. Students admitted to Arts & Science may not retain Daniels Faculty programs, whether complete or incomplete. Only
Arts & Science programs may be used to complete degree requirements in the Faculty.
Applicants with a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science or equivalent from another university who wish to complete a second undergraduate
degree in the Faculty of Arts & Science may apply for admission to a second degree program. It is not possible to complete a second
undergraduate degree in the same field of study as the first degree. Those who are admitted will be granted a maximum of one year of transfer
credit (5 FCE) - four at the 100 level and one at the 200 level. Before applying, external candidates are urged to determine whether a second
degree is actually required for their purposes; for example, additional courses completed as a non-degree student may satisfy admission
requirements for a graduate program. Students who have completed post-secondary studies are required to apply for on-admission transfer
credit. For admission and application information, visit the Enrolment Services web site at www.future.utoronto.ca.
Non-degree students are registered in the Faculty but are not proceeding towards a degree offered by the Faculty. Most non-degree students
have completed a degree and are taking further courses for their own purposes, including admission to graduate studies. Students admitted as
degree students cannot become non-degree students unless they have completed an Honours or Four Year degree. Note that not all privileges
extended to degree students are extended to non-degree students (e.g., CR/NCR). To apply for admission as a non-degree student, visit the
Enrolment Services web site.
Students admitted as degree students who transferred to other universities should re-register at their College of last registration if they wish to
return to the Faculty. The home university may still require a valid Letter of Permission in order to assess studies done at the University of
Toronto for transfer credit.
Students with valid Letters of Permission from other accredited North American universities who have not been officially admitted to the Faculty
of Arts & Science may register as visiting students at Woodsworth College, taking courses for transfer credit at their home university. Non-
degree visiting student registration does not imply acceptance as either a student proceeding towards a degree or a non-degree student.
Students will receive grade point averages and academic standing as outlined in the Rules and Regulations section. Students must observe
Faculty policies, including the prohibition on repeating a passed course. For application information and deadlines, please v isit
http://wdw.utoronto.ca/index.php/programs/visiting_students/overview.
8
Undergraduate Admission
Students with valid Letters of Permission from recognized international universities who have not been officially admitted to the Faculty of Arts &
Science may register as visiting students through the International Summer Program (ISP) at Woodsworth College. Students take summer
courses for transfer credit at their home university. Non-degree international visiting student registration does not imply acceptance as either a
student proceeding towards a degree or a non-degree student. Students will receive grade point averages and academic standing. Students
must observe Faculty policies, including the prohibition on repeating a passed course. For application information and deadlines, check the
International Summer Program web site at wdw.utoronto.ca/index.php/programs/isp/isp_overview.
Candidates who do not meet the published admission requirements may qualify for various humanities and social science programs through
either the Academic Bridging Program or the Transitional Year Program.
The Academic Bridging Program is predominantly a part-time program (with a full-time option for students who qualify) intended for Canadian
citizens/permanent residents/protected persons (convention refugees) who do not hold the published admission requirements to qualify for
degree studies. Detailed information is available on the Academic Bridging Program website at
wdw.utoronto.ca/index.php/programs/academic_bridging/overview.
Students restricted to a reduced course load on admission from the Academic Bridging Program may take no more than 2.5 FCE over the
Fall/Winter Session. They may take a maximum of 1.0 FCE in the Summer Session. See Number of Courses Taken (“Course Load”) in the
Guide to Program & Course Descriptions section of the Calendar. If these students wish to transfer to full-time studies, they may apply through
their College Registrar after the session in which they pass the fourth FCE in the Faculty with a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average of
2.50. Candidates who have achieved the minimum required grade of 63% in the Bridging course for admission to the Faculty of Arts & Science
may count the Bridging course towards their degree.
The Transitional Year Program (TYP) is designed for those who could not finish high school because of financial constraints, family difficulties
or other circumstances beyond their control. It is a one-year, full-time program leading toward admission into an Arts & Science degree
program. Detailed information is available through sites.utoronto.ca/typ.
Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada who are at least sixty-five years of age by the first day of the term may register in the
Faculty of Arts & Science through Woodsworth College as part time non-degree students. They do not have to meet the academic requirements
for admission. Applicants can find more information at wdw.utoronto.ca/index.php/programs/seniors.
Students who were previously registered as degree or non-degree students in the Faculty of Arts & Science who have completed at least one
course in the Faculty and who wish to return after an absence must submit a “Request for Re-registration Form” (charge $25) through their
College Registrar’s Office. Re-registration is necessary for students who have not registered in this Faculty within the previous 12 months.
Students who were previously registered in the Faculty but who did not achieve final standing (i.e. a final grade, P/F, or CR/NCR) in at least 0.5
FCE must re-apply for admission through the Ontario Universities Application Centre.
Students with outstanding fees may not re-register in the Faculty until these fees are paid in full. See the Office of Student Accounts website at
www.fees.utoronto.ca for payment information; for payment deadlines, consult the Registration Instructions.
“Request for Re-Registration” forms should be submitted at least one week prior to course enrolment (see the Registration Instructions on the
Arts & Science website for details). Prior to course selection you will need to make sure you are enrolled in an appropriate combination of
programs for your degree. It is advisable for you to make arrangements to see an advisor at your college to go over any changes in policies and
procedures as well as to clarify the degree and program requirements you are following.
Students who previously studied as non-degree visiting students do not request re-registration. They must submit a new visiting student
application and valid letter of permission through Woodsworth College (see the section on “Admission as a Non-Degree Visiting Student” above
for details).
Many professional programs require completion of one or more years of study in the Faculty of Arts & Science prior to application. For detailed
admission and contact information on professional studies, please refer to www.artsci.utoronto.ca/futurestudents/academics/professional.

Student Services & Resources
Every Arts & Science student is a member of a college. Think of your college as your home in the familiar neighbourhood that is the university.
All the colleges provide advising and support services for students. Academic advising, as well as counselling on financial and personal
matters, is available through your college registrar's office. Also, each college provides its students with academic support services such as
writing centres, math aid centres, libraries and computer facilities. And remember, no matter which college you belong to, you have access to
all the courses and programs offered in Arts & Science.
The Registrar’s Office of each student’s college is the focal point for information and advice of all kinds, and should be consulted as soon as
any problems of an academic or personal nature are encountered.
Students with complaints or problems relating to the teaching of courses (lectures, tutorials, evaluation, work-load, etc.) that they cannot resolve
with the instructors concerned, can obtain advice and assistance either from the Associate Chair/Undergraduate Secretary of the particular
Department, or from their College Registrar.
The Departments and College Program offices should be consulted for advice on courses and programs they sponsor. They also have web
sites giving more details of courses and programs than is possible in the Calendar. First-year students are particularly urged to consult program
sponsors during the Fall-Winter Session for details on enrolling in programs. (All students must enrol in at least one Specialist or two Majors or
one Major + two Minor program(s) upon passing four courses.)
Students registered in Divisions other than Arts & Science who have problems with Arts & Science courses should go for advice either to the
departmental Undergraduate Secretary or to the registrar of their own Faculty or School.

(d) Obtain a Cumulative GPA of 1.85 or more by the time of graduation. Students who meet all the requirements for the Honours Bachelor of
Arts/Honours Bachelor of Science except for the GPA requirement may elect to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree
provided they are In Good Standing (i.e., CGPA is 1.50 or more).
admission requirements for graduate school. Students are governed by the rules of the Faculty in place at the time they commence their
second degree.
Students who successfully apply for a second degree may pursue either an Honours Bachelor of Arts or an Honours Bachelor of Science
degree; a Bachelor of Commerce degree may not be pursued as a second degree. The second degree, however, may not be in the same
field(s) as the first degree.
The Faculty normally exempts students from the first year of the degree requirements (five (5.0) transferred/retained credits: four 100-level and
one 200-level), regardless of the number of previous degrees held. Second degree candidates may not repeat courses taken in a previous
degree; they may, however, count such courses towards satisfying prerequisite and program requirements, on approval of the
department/programs office concerned. Candidacy in a new degree program of study will be established for the Fall or Summer, as appropriate,
and a new grade point average will commence with the second degree courses.
Program Requirements
Completion of one or more programs is only one part of the general degree requirements. Variations made in program details for individual
students do not in any way affect degree requirements.
Programs are groupings of courses in one or more disciplines; these groupings are listed with each academic unit entry in the “Programs and
Courses” section of this Calendar.
• Specialist Program: a sequence of between 10.0 and 14.0 Full Course Equivalents (FCE) in one or more disciplines (note that s ome
interdisciplinary Specialist programs may require up to 16.0 FCE). Specialist programs must include at least 4.0 300+series FCE, at
least 1.0 FCE of which must be at the 400-level.
• Major Program: a sequence of between 6.0 and 8.0 FCE in one or more disciplines. Major programs must include at least 2.0
300+series FCEs, at least 0.5 FCE of which must be at the 400-level.
• Minor Program: a sequence of 4.0 FCEs in one or more disciplines. Minor programs must include at least 1.0 FCE at the 300+lev el.
Please note:
Some courses included as program options may have prerequisites as requirements not listed in the program but which must be taken.
Programs which list optional courses do not necessarily list their prerequisites. Students are responsible for fulfilling prerequisites; students
enrolled in courses for which they do not have the published prerequisites may have their registration in those courses cancelled at any time
without warning.
1. Enrol in at least one and no more than three programs (of which only two can be Majors or Specialists), in the session in which they
pass the fourth Full Course Equivalent (FCE). See the Arts & Science Program Enrolment web site for details. Students admitted with
transfer credit for 4.0 FCE or more must enrol in programs immediately upon admission.
2. Meet any enrolment requirements for a program as stated in the Calendar.
The programs(s) you complete determine whether you receive a Science or an Arts degree upon graduation. In the “Programs and Courses”
section, each program indicates the type of degree to which it leads. For example, in the English section, the English Specialist listing is
followed by “Arts program”; in the Mathematics section, the Math Major is followed by “Science program”, etc. A student completing one
Specialist in an Arts area would receive the Honours Bachelor of Arts; a student completing one Specialist in a Science area would receive the
Honours Bachelor of Science.
For program combinations that include more than one area (Arts and Science), the following applies:
• A student completing one Major in a Science area and one Major in an Arts area has a choice of either the Honours Bachelor of
Science or the Honours Bachelor of Arts.
• In combinations of one Major and two Minors, the type of degree depends on the areas of the three programs. For example, if the
Major is in a Science area and the two Minors are in Arts areas (or vice versa), the student has a choice of either the Honours
Bachelor of Science or the Honours Bachelor of Arts. If the Major and one Minor are in Science areas and the other Minor is in an
Arts area, the student would receive the Honours Bachelor of Science. Similarly, if the Major and one Minor are in Arts areas and the
other Minor is in a Science area, the student would receive the Honours Bachelor of Arts.
• A student completing one Specialist in a Science area and an additional Major in an Arts area (or vice versa) has a choice of either
the Honours Bachelor of Science or the Honours Bachelor of Arts.
26
Degree Requirements (H.B.A., H.B.Sc., BCom)
Students enrolled in either two Majors or one Major + two Minors must ensure they have a minimum of 12.0 different Full Cours e Equivalents
(FCE) between the programs. For example:
• A student is enrolled in the Physiology Major (8.0 FCE) and the Biology Major (8.0 FCE). In order to meet the 12.0 different FCE
requirement, they may have up to 4.0 overlapping FCE between their Majors (8.0 + 8.0 = 16.0; 16.0 – 12.0 = 4.0). These two
programs contain 3.0 core FCE in common: (BIO120H1+BIO130H1), (CHM138H1+CHM139H1), and (BIO220H1+BIO230H1).
Therefore, they may take up to 1.0 more overlapping FCE between the majors. In short, 8.0 for PSL + 8.0 for BIO = 16.0 FCE; 16.0
FCE - 12.0 different FCE = 4.0 FCE overlap allowed.
• A student is enrolled in the Economics Major (7.0 FCE) and the Statistics Major (6.5 FCE). In order to meet the 12.0 different FCE
requirement, they may have up to 1.5 overlapping FCE between their Majors (7.0 + 6.5 = 13.5; 13.5 – 12.0= 1.5). They take
MAT135Y1 and STA257H1+STA261H1 (2.0 FCE total) towards both programs. Since they have exceeded the 1.5 FCE overlap limit
by 0.5, they must take an additional 0.5 FCE towards one of the Majors so that they will have 12.0 different FCE between them.
Note:
In biological and science programs there may be occasions when scientific observations are made by students on themselves or on fellow
students. These include common diagnostic or immunization procedures. Unless a valid reason exists, students are expected to participate in
such exercises. If any investigative work involving student participation does not form part of the program, participation is voluntary.
Self-Designed Programs
Students may design their own programs, which must be substantially different from any program in this Calendar. Such a program, if formally
adopted by the student’s College on the basis of its academic rigour and coherence, and if approved by the Committee on Academic
Standards, will be accepted as fulfilling the degree requirement for certification in a program (transcripts indicate only “Completed Self-designed
Program approved by ’X’ College”). Since the approval process is necessarily a long one, students following this alternative must discuss this
process with their College Registrar immediately after completion of the fourth course in the Faculty.
Courses in the Faculty of Arts & Science are classified into five Breadth categories by subject content. (Note that some courses do not have a
Breadth Requirement assigned and therefore do not count toward this degree requirement.) The purpose of the Breadth Requirement is to
ensure all students graduating with an Honours degree from the Faculty of Arts & Science have chosen courses across a broad range of
subject areas in the Faculty as part of their undergraduate education.
Students must take at least 4.0 Full Course Equivalents (FCE) that have been designated as satisfying the Breadth Requirement. These 4 .0
FCE must be either (a) at least 1.0 FCE in each of any 4 of the 5 categories above, or (b) at least 1.0 FCE in each of any 3 of the 5 categories,
and at least 0.5 FCE in each of the other 2 categories.
A course’s Breadth designation can be found following the course description in the Calendar for the year in which the course is taken. Courses
marked "BR=None" do not count toward any breadth category.
For example:
27
Degree Requirements (H.B.A., H.B.Sc., BCom)
Students may count towards the Breadth Requirement any course which has a Breadth designation, and in which they have achieved standing
(a grade of 50% or higher/P/CR). Courses that you take as part of your Specialist, Major and/or Minor programs count towards the Breadth
Requirement.
• Humanities
• Social Science
• Sciences
To qualify for any degree you must complete at least 1.0 Full Course Equivalent (FCE) in each of these three areas, for a total of 3.0 FCE.
Courses that you take as part of your Specialist, Major and/or Minor programs count towards the Distribution Requirement.
A course’s Distribution Requirement designation can be found following the course description in the Calendar for the year in which the course
is taken. For example:
(a) Obtain standing (i.e., complete with a grade of 50% or higher/P/ CR) in at least 20.0 Full Course Equivalents (FCE) that meet the following
criteria:
(b) Complete one of the following program requirements: Specialist in Accounting, Specialist in Finance and Economics, or Specialist in
Management
(c) Complete the Arts & Science Breadth Requirement (see above)*;
28
Degree Requirements (H.B.A., H.B.Sc., BCom)
*Note: September 2016 and onward students will follow the Arts & Science Breadth Requirement and are no longer required to have 1.0 FCE
from category 1 (BR1).
Students who began degree studies prior to September 2010 must complete the Faculty Distribution Requirement for Bachelor of Commerce
students (see below).
As part of the degree requirements for the BCom, Students who began degree studies in the Bachelor of Commerce prior to September 2010
must complete 1.0 Full Course Equivalent (FCE) in each of the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences areas as they are defined below:
Certificates offered in conjunction with an undergraduate degree program are composed of a sequence of courses relating to a particular
subject or theme, intended to complement an existing program. The total number of FCE required for a Certificate is less than a Minor (normally
2.0-3.0 FCE), to allow room for completion alongside normal programs of study.
The University of Toronto is an ideal place for students to pursue the advanced study of languages. Our students live in a country that promotes
multiculturalism, and our university is located in one of the world’s most diverse cities. We offer significant language opportunities in both
ancient and modern languages. We also offer a variety of international academic programs and the number of such programs will expand. As
our students seek further international study, work opportunities, and post-graduate study, they may be assisted by a notation on their
academic record of language proficiency.
The Language Citation in the Faculty of Arts & Science is official recognition on a student’s transcript that the student has progressed to an
advanced level in the study of a language, and has been assessed as achieving good results in that study. In particular, to achieve the
Language Citation, a student must complete 2.0 Full Course Equivalents (FCE) in language instruction or in courses taught in the language to
be assessed, beyond the first-year level, and must achieve at least a B- in each of the courses beyond the introductory level. The Language
Citation will consist of a notation on the transcript that reads: “Completed Requirements of Language Citation in [name of language].” This
notation will appear in the Faculty of Arts & Science sessional segment of the student’s academic record on the transcript listing the courses
and marks for the session in which the Citation is assessed as complete.
Note that Language Citation is not a program, and will not contribute toward the program(s) required to complete the degree. The Citation may
be of interest to those who are completing programs involving language study, but it may also be of interest to those whose program interests
lie elsewhere, but wish to have achievement in a language noted on their academic record.
To be assessed for the Language Citation, students should contact the academic unit that will be assessing the language for the Citation and
indicate which courses they would like to be considered for the assessment. If students already have proficiency in a language and wish to
move directly to courses beyond the introductory level, they should consult the relevant academic unit about appropriate placement. Students
wishing to include courses taken in the country where the language is spoken should consult the relevant academic unit about appropriate
study abroad options.
The Citation can be earned in any language, modern or ancient, which provides sufficient advanced training at the University of Toronto,
provided the unit offering the instruction participates in the Citation. Courses taken at the University of Toronto Mississauga or University of
Toronto Scarborough may also be eligible to be included in the assessment for Faculty of Arts & Science students.
The list below identifies the academic units that offer a Language Citation. For details, including the languages in which students may achieve
a Citation, see the relevant entries in this Calendar.
• Indigenous Studies
• Classics
• East Asian Studies
• French
• Germanic Languages & Literatures

Graduation
There are two graduation periods: June and November. Students must request graduation using ACORN by the deadline specified in the
Sessional Dates section of the Calendar. Prospective graduands should check Degree Explorer (https://degreeexplorer.utoronto.ca) at the end
of March (for June graduation)/late September (for November graduation) to see if their programs have been confirmed by the relevant
academic unit(s). They should also check Degree Explorer at the end of May/late October for confirmation of their eligibility for graduation by
the Office of the Faculty Registrar.
For students graduating in June, only courses completed by the end of the preceding winter term (ending in April) will be assessed for
graduation. For students graduating in November, only courses completed by the end of the preceding summer session (ending in August) will
be assessed for graduation.
Prospective graduands should receive an email from the Office of Convocation providing details of the convocation ceremony in late March (for
June graduation)/mid-October (for November graduation). An email will be sent from the Office of the Faculty Registrar in late May or early
June (two weeks prior to the convocation ceremony)/late October (two weeks prior to the convocation ceremony) to students who have a
request for graduation confirming their eligibility.
Students who graduate with a Cumulative GPA* of 3.50 or above are described as graduates “With High Distinction”. This achiev ement is noted
on the diploma and transcript.
Students who graduate with a Cumulative GPA* of 3.20 to 3.49 are described as graduates “With Distinction”. This achievement is noted on the
diploma and transcript.
* Note: the Cumulative GPA must be based on at least 5.0 FCE taken for Faculty of Arts & Science degree credit.

Guide to Program & Course Descriptions
In the Calendar, the word “course” is used in reference to a single course (such as “standing in a course” etc.) “Course” refers equally to a full
course or a half course. A full course is 1.0 Full Course Equivalent (FCE), and a half course is 0.5 FCE. To “pass a course” or “obtain standing
in a course” normally means to obtain a mark of 50 or more in that course.
• "Specialist Program (X FCE or their equivalent)”; “X” is the number of FCE required for that program out of the total of 20 FCE needed
for an Hon. B.A. or Hon. B.Sc.
• “Major Program (X FCE or their equivalent)”; “X” is the number of FCE required for that program out of the total of 20 FCE needed for
an Hon. B.A. or Hon. B.Sc.
• "First Year”, “Second Year”, etc.: Sequences of courses are given as guides, but need not be followed in the exact order listed,
provided all pre- and co-requisites are observed.
• Higher Years = Second, Third and Fourth Years
• An oblique stroke (“/”) means “or”. A comma and a semi-colon both mean “and”.
• In describing the level of a course, the word "series" is used interchangeably with the word "level". e.g. 100-series is the same as 100-
level
• 200-series or 200-level = courses numbered in the 200’s ONLY;
• 200+series or 200+ level = courses in the 200’s or 300’s or 400’s
• 300+series or 300+ level = courses numbered in the 300’s or 400’s
• Approved = approved by the college or academic unit sponsoring the program
• Group = a group of related courses; Groups are at the end of the relevant program listings
• The code Y1 or H1 in a course code in this Calendar indicates the credit value:
o Y1 = a full course (1.0 FCE), for which one credit is given (e.g. ANT100Y1)
o H1 = a half course (0.5 FCE), for which one-half credit is given (e.g. HIS321H1)
Courses
Choosing Courses
NOTE: While Departmental counsellors and College Registrars are always available to give advice, THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS
WITH THE STUDENT for completeness and correctness of course selection, for compliance with exclusions, prerequisite and co-requisite
requirements, for completion of Program details, for proper completion of the Distribution Requirement, and for observance of regulations,
deadlines, etc. Students are responsible for seeking guidance from a responsible officer if they are in any doubt; misunderstanding,
misapprehension or advice received from another student will not be accepted as cause for dispensation from any regulation, deadline,
Program or Degree requirement.

Guide to Program & Course Descriptions
Please Note:
1. The Faculty of Arts & Science Council reserves the right to change the content of, or to withdraw, any course. In such cases every
effort is made to provide equivalent alternative instruction, but this cannot be guaranteed.
2. The Faculty reserves the right to limit the number of students in any course or any section of a course if the number wishing to take
the course should exceed the resources available. Notwithstanding this, every effort is made to accommodate students in 100-series
courses according to admission category.
Course descriptions, in alphabetical order by Academic unit/College, are listed in the Programs and Courses section. For an explanation of
terms and abbreviations used in these descriptions, including prerequisites, co-requisites, exclusions, etc., see below. Students may choose
from among these courses, subject to the following rules:
1. Students must satisfy the degree and program requirements and other regulations set out in the Calendar and its supplements.
2. Students must meet all prerequisite, co-requisite and exclusion requirements.
3. Students may take no more than six 100-series FCE for degree credit.
1. The recommended course load for full-time students in each of the Fall and Winter terms is no more than 2.5 FCE; the maximum
course load in the Fall/Winter Session is 3.0 FCE per term.
2. The maximum course load during the Summer Session is 1.0 FCE per term.
3. College Registrars may approve an exception to the above limits where circumstances warrant. The College Registrar, following
Faculty guidelines, has the discretion to approve or deny such requests. Students will not receive special consideration of any kind on
account of a course overload. Examination schedules may be affected by a course overload. Note: students enrolled in Commerce
programs must obtain course overload approval from the Rotman Commerce Program Office.
4. Students “On Academic Probation” may take no more than 2.5 FCE in each of the Fall and Winter terms and no more than 1.0 FCE in
each of the Summer terms, except as provided under “students restricted to a reduced course load” (see 5. below).
5. Students restricted to a reduced course load on admission may take no more than 2.5 FCE during the Fall/Winter Session. Students
may take no more than 1.5 FCE in a Fall or Winter term unless approved by their College Registrar. They may take a maximum of 1.0
FCE in the Summer Session. Students restricted to part-time studies who wish to transfer to full-time studies should consult with their
College Registrar.
6. Students should attempt to balance their course load between the Fall and Winter Sessions.
7. To calculate course loads, students should consult this Calendar together with the Registration Instructions & Timetable. The codes
“Y1” or “H1” in a course code in the Calendar indicate the credit value:
Y1 = a full course (1.0 FCE), for which one credit is given (e.g. ANT100Y1)
H1 = a half-course (0.5 FCE), for which one-half credit is given (e.g. HIS332H1)
8. In the Timetable a section code is associated with a course code to indicate when the course is offered:
F = “First Term”; i.e. first term of the Fall/Winter Session (September – December) or first term of the Summer Session (May-June)
S = “Second Term”; i.e. second term of the Fall/Winter Session (January – April) or second term of the Summer Session (July –
August)
Y = full session, i.e. September – April or May – August
9. Students should note that courses designated as “...Y1F” or “...Y1S” in the Timetable are particularly demanding.
10. In the Fall/Winter session, full-time students (except those in 4. and 13.) may select an additional 0.5 FCE per term (3.0 FCE
maximum) after the priority period ends during the course enrolment cycle (see the Registration Instructions and Timetable for
details).
11. Students are advised to use discretion if exceeding the recommended maximum of 2.5 FCE in each term of the Fall/Winter session.
Students will not receive special consideration of any kind on account of enrolling in more than the recommended maximum.
Examination schedules may be affected by this course load.
12. Students are not allowed a course overload in any term until they have completed four (4) FCE in the Faculty. This applies to first year
students and transfer students from other institutions.
Year of Study
The University of Toronto uses the following to define the year equivalency and therefore the academic status of a student:
• 4th year Arts & Science student: has completed 14.0 full course equivalents or more;
33
Guide to Program & Course Descriptions
• 3rd year Arts & Science student: has completed 9.0 to 13.5 full course equivalents;
• 2nd year Arts & Science student: has completed 4 to 8.5 full course equivalents;
• 1st year Arts & Science student: has completed less than 4 full course equivalents.
Full/Part-Time Status
Full-time status
Part-time status
Course designators are the three-letter codes which appear at the beginning of each course code (e.g., CHM is the designator for chemistry
courses; PHL for philosophy courses).
All courses are listed in the sponsoring department's section in the Calendar. See the home page (under Programs & Courses) for sponsoring
departments.
Course Number
The course number generally indicates the level of difficulty, e.g., a 100-series course normally indicates an introductory course, a 400-series
course is an intensive course at the senior level.
The codes “Y1” or “H1” in a course code in the Calendar indicate the credit value:
• Y1 = a full course (1.0 FCE), for which one credit is given, e.g., ANT 100Y1
• H1 = a half-course (0.5 FCE), for which one-half credit is given, e.g., HIS 322 H1.
• L= Lectures
• S= Seminars
• P= Practical work in laboratories or studios
• T= Tutorials
34
Guide to Program & Course Descriptions
In the Fall-Winter Sessions the normal period of instruction is 24 weeks; the Fall Term lasts 12 weeks, and the Winter Term lasts 12 weeks. The
number preceding the instruction codes opposite the course number and title indicates the total number of hours of instruction given in the
course. The number of hours listed is approximate only; the actual contact hours of a course, or of different sections of a course, may vary from
the number indicated in the Calendar, due to the size of the class or section, and the use being made of the tutorial or prac tical components of
the class. This variation is at the discretion of the “course sponsor” (the college or academic unit sponsoring the course); any questions
concerning the allotment of hours in a course should be addressed to the course sponsor.
Calendar Description
The description is a short summary of topics and themes covered in the course. The description may include information about special aspects
of a course, for example field work.
Students are responsible for fulfilling prerequisites and co-requisites; students enroled in courses for which they do not have the published
prerequisites may have their registration in those courses cancelled at any time without warning. Students must also observe exclusions.
Failure to meet these requirements may result in academic difficulties. If students withdraw from a course they must also withdraw from any
course for which it is a co-requisite unless the Department giving the latter course agrees to waive the co-requisite.
Exclusions
Students may not enrol in a course if that course lists as an exclusion a course they are currently taking or a course they have already passed.
If allowed by special permission to enrol in an excluded course, the second course taken will be listed as an “Extra” course. Students will be
required to withdraw from the course if discovered during the session of enrolment and will be refused degree credit in the excluded course if
discovered at any time in a subsequent session.
Prerequisite
A course (or other qualification) required as preparation for entry to another course. If students consider that they have equivalent preparation,
they may ask the Department concerned to waive the stated prerequisite.
Co-requisite
A requirement to be undertaken concurrently with another course. The co-requisite will be waived if a student has previously obtained standing
in it, or if the Department consents.
Recommended Preparation
This image shows a course description in diagram form, with explanations of all the various symbols.
Section Code
Section codes do not appear in the Calendar. In the Timetable, a section code is associated with a course code to indicate when the course is
offered:
• F = “First Term”; i.e. first term of the Fall/Winter Session (September – December) or first term of the Summer Session (May-June)
• S = “Second Term”; i.e. second term of the Fall/Winter Session (January – April) or second term of the Summer Session (July –
August)
• Y = full session, i.e. September – April or May – August

Rules & Regulations
While advisors in academic units and the Registrars of the Colleges are always available to give advice and guidance, it must be clearly
understood that the ultimate responsibility rests with the student for completeness and correctness of course selection, for compliance with
prerequisite, co-requisite requirements, observance of exceeded courses, etc., for completion of Program details, for proper observance of
degree requirements, the Distribution/Breadth Requirement and for observance of regulations, deadlines, etc. Students are res ponsible for
seeking guidance from a responsible officer if they are in any doubt; misunderstanding, or advice received from another student will not be
accepted as cause for dispensation from any regulation, deadline, program or degree requirement.
Students should also note the Important Notices section of this Calendar.
Registration
Details of the procedures by which students of the Faculty of Arts & Science register -- enrol in courses for which they are eligible, and pay or
make arrangements to pay fees -- are found in the Registration Instructions online: www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/course/timetable.
Students registered in the Faculty of Arts & Science may enrol in most courses offered by UTM, UTSC, and Daniels, provided that they meet
the enrolment controls and prerequisites established by those divisions. These courses count towards the 20.0 Full Course Equ ivalents (FCE)
required for a Faculty of Arts & Science degree and are included in the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) calculation. These courses may
also count towards Faculty of Arts & Science program requirements; students should check with the relevant academic unit before enrolling.
Faculty of Arts & Science students enrolling in UTM, UTSC, and Daniels courses should also note that, although academic and course refund
deadlines may be different for UTM/UTSC/Daniels students, as a Faculty of Arts & Science student they must adhere to all Faculty of Arts &
Science deadlines (e.g. enrolment deadlines, drop deadlines, CR/NCR deadlines, refund deadlines, etc.), with the exception of the start and
end of classes.
Non-degree students in the Faculty of Arts & Science may enrol in Arts & Science, UTM, UTSC, and Daniels courses.
For degree requirement purposes, a graduate course will count as a 400-level course. Permission to count a graduate course toward a
student’s program requirements is a separate matter and at the discretion of the relevant program.
Students should initiate the procedure well in advance of the beginning of classes, so that they may choose alternate courses if permission is
not granted. Once the form is completed, the academic unit that will count the course towards a program will arrange to enrol the student in the
course (unless enrolment has already taken place.) When taking a course in another division, a student is subject to course-specific dates and
deadlines of the other division.
Non-degree students in the Faculty of Arts & Science may enrol only in Arts & Science, UTM, UTSC, and Daniels courses. They may not
request permission from the Faculty to enrol in courses from other divisions.
for transfer credit. Transfer credits received as a result of studies completed on an exchange program are not included in this maximum.
Students admitted with transfer credit may be limited in the number of courses that they may transfer after admission (with the exception of from
an exchange program) and should consult the chart available on the web at www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/tc/postadmission/eligibility. Prior to
taking courses at a Canadian or U.S. university, students are advised to request a Letter of Permission to confirm acceptability of those courses
for transfer credit. For other universities, students may submit a request for transfer credit after completing courses elsewhere; note that there is
no guarantee that transfer credit will be awarded. Permission obtained from an instructor or from an academic unit for program purposes does
not obligate the Faculty to grant transfer credit. There is a $40.00 non-refundable charge for each Letter of Permission and associated
Addendum request and a $25.00 non-refundable fee for each Transfer Credit request. Assessments of transfer credit may take several weeks
to process depending on the time of year and the nature of the request. Applicants are responsible for submitting requests well in advance of
any deadlines they must meet and for obtaining the appropriate advising concerning the Letter of Permission and Transfer Credit processes.
Note: Only 1.0 FCE in transfer credit at the 300+ level may be used to satisfy the degree requirement of a minimum of 6.0 FCE at the 300+
level. All 300+ level transfer credits received as a result of studies completed on an exchange program can contribute toward the 300+ level
degree requirement. Please refer to the Letters of Permission and Transfer Credit (Post-Admission) Guidelines on the Registrar’s Office web
site at www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/tc/postadmission.
International Opportunities
See the section on Student Services & Resources for international opportunities for Arts & Science.
Course Loads
For more information on course loads please refer to the Guide to Programs & Courses section.
Fall/Winter Session
The recommended course load for full-time students in each of the Fall and Winter terms is no more than 2.5 FCE; the maximum course load in
the Fall/Winter Session is 3.0 FCE per term.
Summer Session
The maximum course load during the Summer Session is 1.0 FCE per term.
Students who do not intend to complete a course or courses must cancel the course on ACORN (www.acorn.utoronto.ca) before the final date
to cancel courses from the academic record (see Sessional Dates). Students still enrolled in a course after the final date to cancel the course
will receive a mark for that course (unless Late Withdrawal is requested: see below for details). Not attending classes, ceasing to complete
further course work, and/or not writing the examination do not constitute grounds for cancellation without academic penalty from a course; the
course remains on the record with the mark earned, including a zero for incomplete work.
Students are not permitted to cancel or withdraw from a course in which an allegation of academic misconduct is pending from the time of the
alleged offence until the final disposition of the allegation.
Cancelling Registration
Students who wish to cancel all their current courses in the Fall/Winter Session or in the Summer Session, and who do not intend to enrol in
any other courses for the rest of the Session, must cancel their registration on ACORN (www.acorn.utoronto.ca) or notify their College Registrar
in writing. The cancellation of registration must be completed by the appropriate deadline in order for the student not to incur an academic
penalty. When cancelling their registration, students must:
Please note: Students who have not achieved final standing (a final passing mark/P/CR) in at least one course in the Faculty of Arts & Science
who cancel their registration must re-apply for admission through the Ontario Universities Application Centre if they wish to return in the future.
Fees
Fees are subject to change at any time by approval of the Governing Council. Tuition fees normally consist of academic fees (including
instruction and library) and incidental/ancillary fees (including Hart House, Health Services, Athletics and student organizations). Additional
ancillary fees may also be assessed for enrolment in some specific courses. Consult the Student Accounts web site or the Bursar of Trinity
College (Trinity students).
37
Rules & Regulations
Payments to cover fees may only be made at financial institutions, not in person — consult the Registration Instructions & Timetable or the
Office of Student Accounts website (www.fees.utoronto.ca) for further details.
Payment Deadlines
Deadlines are available from the Student Accounts Office or from the Trinity College Bursar’s Office (Trinity students). To avoid delays,
students are advised to pay fees early.
All fees and charges posted to your account are deemed payable. If not paid in full, any outstanding account balance is subject to a monthly
service charge of 1.5% per month compounded (19.56% per annum). Outstanding charges on your account from prior sessions are subject to a
service charge as of the 15th of every month until paid in full.
Students with outstanding accounts may not receive official transcripts and normally may not re-register at the University until these accounts
are paid.
In accordance with the regulations of the Government of Ontario, certain categories of students who are neither Canadian citizens nor
permanent residents of Canada are charged higher academic fees. Refer to the Student Accounts web site at www.fees.utoronto.ca for details.
Further information on fees may be obtained by students of Innis, New, St. Michael’s, University, Victoria and Woodsworth Colleges from the

Rules & Regulations
Course Marks
Term Work and Term Test Regulations
The following regulations summarize the Faculty’s implementation of the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy, P arts A and B,
available on the Governing Council web site at www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies.htm (however grade scales relevant to the Faculty of
Arts & Science can be seen below).
Marking Schemes
As early as possible in each course, and no later than the last date to enrol in the course, the instructor shall make available to the class, and
shall file with the division/faculty or department, the course marking scheme, i.e., methods by which student performance shall be evaluated.
This should include whether the methods of evaluation will be essays, tests, class participation, seminar presentations, examinations, or other
requirements; the relative weight of these methods in relation to the overall mark; and the timing of each major evaluation.
No essay, test, examination etc. in the marking scheme may be assigned a weight of more than 80% of the course mark. This limit does not
apply when an instructor makes an accommodation at a student's request to take into account assessments missed for legitimate, documented
reasons.
After the marking scheme has been made known by the last date to enrol in the course, the instructor may not change it or the relative weight of
assessments without the consent of a simple majority of students attending the class, provided the vote is announced no later than in the
previous class. Any changes must be reported to the division or the department. The only exception to this is in the case of the declaration of a
disruption. [Please see the University’s Policy on Academic Continuity.]
In the event that this policy has not been followed, a student may petition to have the course removed from the record, provided such a petition
is filed no later than the last day of classes.
Term Work
Instructors shall return by the deadline one or more marked assignments worth a combined total of at least 10% of the total course mark for H
courses and 20% for Y courses.
The deadline for returning such marked work shall be the last regularly-scheduled class meeting prior to the deadline to cancel without
academic penalty, with one exception: for courses that run the entire Fall/Winter Session (Y1Y or H1Y courses), the deadline shall be the last
regularly-scheduled class meeting of the first week of classes in January.
All term work must be submitted on or before the last day of classes in the course concerned, unless an earlier date is specified by the
instructor. Students who for reasons beyond their control are unable to submit an assignment by its deadline must obtain approval from their
instructor for an extension of the deadline. This extension may be for no longer than five business days after the end of the Examination period.
If additional time beyond this period is required, students must petition through their College Registrar before the end of the examination period
for a further extension of the deadline. (See section below on Petitions)
Students are strongly advised to keep rough and draft work and copies of their essays and assignments, as these may be requir ed by the
instructor.
All written work that has been evaluated should be returned to the student with such detailed comment as the instructor deems appropriate, and
time made available for discussion of it. Any enquiries or appeals about a graded piece of work must be made to the instructor as soon as
possible and no later than two weeks after the work was returned. Instructors must keep unclaimed term work for at least six months beyond
the end of the course.
Term Tests
No term test or combination of term tests held in the last two weeks of classes at the end of any term may have a total weight greater than 25%
of the final mark. This includes term tests in Y courses held in December, and also includes “take-home tests” and assignments where the
topics or questions are both assigned and due with the last two weeks of classes.
All term tests must be held on or before the last day of classes. No term test may be held during Reading Week in November and in February,
during the Study Break in April, or during Faculty Examination Periods, except for those in F or Y-courses scheduled by the Faculty in the
December Examination Period.
Students who miss a term test will be assigned a mark of zero for that test unless they satisfy the following conditions:
1. Students who miss a term test for reasons beyond their control may, no later than one week after the missed test, submit to the
instructor or academic unit a request for special consideration explaining the reason for missing the test, and attaching appropriate
documentation, such as the Verifiction of Illness or Injury form (www.illnessverification.utoronto.ca).
2. If a request with documentation cannot be submitted within one week, the academic unit may consider a request to extend the time
limit.
3. A student whose explanation is accepted by the academic unit will be entitled to one of the following considerations:
a) Whenever possible, the student may be offered the opportunity to do a make-up test.
39
Rules & Regulations
b) Where a make-up test is not possible or the student’s circumstances do not permit a make-up test, the instructor may allocate the
percentage weight of the test to any combination of the remaining term work and/or final exam in the course.
c) If the student misses the remaining term work for acceptable reasons, the full percentage weight of the missed work may be
allocated to the final exam. Exception: the weight of a final exam in a 100-series course may not be increased beyond 80% as an
initial accommodation for a legitimate absence. However, if the student misses the make-up opportunity or subsequent test that was
to be re-weighted, then the weight of the final exam may be increased beyond 80%.
d) In courses where the mid-term test is the only marked work in the course other than the final examination, an initial make-up test
opportunity normally must be given.
4. No student is automatically entitled to a second make-up test opportunity. The academic unit will determine what accommodation is
appropriate for a student who misses a make-up test for legitimate reasons.
5. A student who misses a term test cannot subsequently petition for late withdrawal from the course without academic penalty on the
grounds that no term work was returned before the drop date.
A student who believes an individual item of work has been incorrectly or unfairly marked may request that it be remarked. Such requests
should be made initially to the instructor in the course as soon as possible after the work was returned, and no later than two weeks after it was
returned.
If an instructor refuses the request to remark a piece of work, or if the student believes the remarking was incorrect or unfair, the student may
appeal to the Undergraduate Coordinator (e.g. Associate Chair who is acting on behalf of the Chair) of the academic unit sponsoring the
course.
Appeals beyond the academic unit should be made to the Office of the Dean. Such appeals about the marking of term work must be made in
writing. They will be reviewed to ensure that appropriate procedures have been followed in earlier appeals, that the student has been treated
fairly, and that the standards applied have been consistent with those applied to other students doing the assignment. The Office of the Dean is
the final level of appeal for marks in the Faculty of Arts & Science; no further appeal is possible.
An appeal of a mark beyond the instructor for term work may only be made for an item worth at least 20% of the course mark.
All appeals beyond the instructor must be made in writing in a timely manner, and no later than two weeks after the work was returned,
explaining why the student believes the mark was inappropriate and summarizing all previous communications in the matter.
Students making a request for a remarking must accept that the resulting mark will become the new mark, whether it goes up or down or
remains the same.
Final examinations are held at the end of each term. Students taking courses during the day may be required to write evening examinations,
and students taking evening courses may be required to write examinations during the day. Examinations may be held on Saturdays. Students
who make personal commitments during the examination period do so at their own risk. No special consideration is given and no special
arrangements are made in the event of conflicts resulting from personal commitments.
Students who are unable to write their examinations due to illness, etc., should contact their College Registrar (see "Petitions Regarding
Examinations", below).
Students who have two Faculty final examinations in the same time slot, or three consecutive Faculty final examinations (e.g., morning,
afternoon, evening; or afternoon, evening, next morning), should submit a Final Examinations Conflict form using their University of Toronto
email account to examconflicts.artsci@utoronto.ca
Students who cannot write a final examination at the scheduled time due to a religious obligation should should submit a Final Examinations
Conflict form using their University of Toronto email account to examconflicts.artsci@utoronto.ca as soon as the conflict is known, and no later
than the deadline shown on the examination schedule.
Information regarding dates, times and locations of examinations will not be given by telephone or email; for the most up to date examination
timetable consult the Faculty's current students web site at www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current.

Credit/No Credit
Degree students in the Faculty of Arts & Science may select up to 2.0 Full-Course Equivalents (FCE) of their degree credits to be assessed on
a Credit/ No Credit (CR/NCR) basis. This option is available for Arts & Science students taking courses offered by the Faculty of Arts &
Science, the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design (Daniels), the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), or the
University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC). Some courses may not be eligible for CR/NCR -- refer to the Academic Calendar of the relevant
division.
Students must choose this mode of assessment no later than the last date to cancel the relevant course. Once the deadline has
passed, students may not reverse this decision. Students may add or remove the CR/NCR option on ACORN (www.acorn.utoronto.ca). See
the Faculty's website for full details of the CR/NCR option: www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/forms-services/crncr
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, Breadth Requirements, and degree credits, but cannot be used to satisfy program requirements or the 12.0 different FCE
requirement between programs for a student's degree unless explicitly permitted by the program.
Courses with a final status of NCR will not count as degree credits but will not count as failures, and will also not be included in the GPA
calculation.
Students may exercise this option to a total of 2.0 FCE throughout their degree studies. The choice is not restricted as to year or level of
course.
Students taking a course on a CR/NCR basis will not be identified individually to the instructor teaching that course; they will be assessed in the
same way as all other students in the course, i.e. will have the same assignments and tests and will be evaluated with the same expectations.
Note to graduating students: The CR/NCR option is only open to degree students. Once students have graduated, they become non-degree
students and they may not complete courses on a CR/NCR basis, even if they enrolled in the course before their graduation. This means if a
41
Rules & Regulations
student is graduating in June and they select a summer course as CR/NCR or if a student is graduating in November and they enroll in a fall or
winter course as CR/NCR, the CR/NCR option will be removed and a percentage mark will appear on the student’s record.
Students opting to do courses on a CR/NCR basis should be aware that their underlying percentage/letter grade will not be released or reported
in any way. However, the Faculty cannot determine how an external body may read or interpret the CR/NCR on a transcript. If a specific mark
may be required in a course for professional/graduate school applications or for other reasons in the future, students should not choose the
CR/NCR option. Students may wish to seek academic advising at their College Registrar's Office when considering use of CR/NCR.
Students who transfer to the Faculty of Arts & Science from Daniels, UTM or UTSC will have all Daniels Faculty/UTM/UTSC CR/NCR options (if
any) included in their Arts & Science academic record. These CR/NCR options are counted towards the 2.0 FCE maximum.
The CR/NCR 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 for a course in which an academic offence has been committed, the CR/NCR option will be revoked and the percentage mark
will stand as the course mark.
The following courses are not eligible to be taken as CR/NCR: courses where an individual student works on independent study or individual
research supervised by a professor; First Year Seminars (199s)/Research Opportunity Program (399s)/Research Excursions (398s);
Foundational Year Program courses (College Ones, Munk One); Rotman Commerce (RSM) courses; field courses; courses evaluated on a
Pass/Fail basis.
Degree students in the Faculty of Arts & Science may request to withdraw without petition from a total of no more than 3.0 Full Course
Equivalent (FCE), provided such a request is made by the last day of classes in the relevant term. Non-degree students may also request LWD,
provided they do not exceed the 3.0 FCE maximum throughout their combined degree and non-degree studies.
Withdrawals approved under this procedure will be noted on the academic record by the course status LWD (Late Withdrawal). This course
status will have no effect on the GPA or other elements of the academic record.
Students who have fallen behind with assignments or are not at all prepared to write exams in one or more of courses will be expected to make
use of this remedy, and should contact their College Registrar’s Office immediately.
Students seeking to avail themselves of this remedy will be expected to work with their College registrarial advisor to analyze what led to their
predicament, to discuss what steps they can take to prevent it from happening again, and to learn from their experiences.
Students who transfer to the Faculty of Arts & Science from the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) or the University of Toronto
Scarborough (UTSC), or the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design (Daniels) will have all UTM/UTSC/Daniels LWD
requests (if any) included in their Arts & Science academic record. These LWD requests are counted towards the 3.0 FCE maximum.
Note that the option for Late Withdrawal is not available if an allegation of academic misconduct is under investigation. If LWD was previously
granted in the course, it will be revoked and the percentage grade will stand as the course grade.
Please note: Students who have not achieved final standing (a final passing mark/P/CR) in at least one course in the Faculty of Arts & Science
who cancel their registration must re-apply for admission through the Ontario Universities Application Centre if they wish to return in the future.
Late Withdrawal (LWD) does not constitute final standing in a course.
Each course with a passing mark/P/CR counts for credit towards a degree unless:
• the course is a 100-level course and the maximum of 6.0 FCE at the 100-level allowable for degree credit has already been
completed (see 1. below), or
• the course repeats work previously taken, either the same course taken over again (see 2. below) or the course lists as an exclusion
another course that has already been completed (see 3. below)
42
Rules & Regulations
Students requesting to repeat a course must do so at their College Registrar’s Office, where they will receive appropriate advising and will be
enrolled in the course, provided there is space available, only after other degree students have had an opportunity to enroll.
3. Exclusions
Students may not receive degree credit for a course that lists as an exclusion a course they are currently taking or a course they have already
passed. If they enrol in such a course, they may be removed at any time during the enrolment period or during the session at the discretion of
the department, or the course will be designated Extra: it will appear on the academic record but it will not be included in GPA calculations or in
the degree credit count.
Grading Regulations
Marks Review Procedure
The Faculty of Arts & Science implements the Grading Regulations, reviews course marks submitted by academic units and posts the official
marks. Official marks are communicated to the students via ACORN.
Each academic unit has an appointed faculty member (e.g. a Chair, Program Director, Vice Principal) who is responsible for reviewing marks
submitted by instructors. This appointed faculty member may ask for clarification of any anomalous results or distributions, or disparity between
sections of the same courses. Both the appointed faculty member and the Dean have the right, in consultation with the instructor of the course,
to adjust marks where there is an obvious and unexplained discrepancy between the marks submitted and the perceived standards of the
Faculty. Final marks are official, and may be communicated to the students only after the review procedure has taken place. M arks, as an
expression of the instructor’s best judgment of each student’s overall performance, will not be determined by any system of quotas.
* The grade point values above apply to marks earned in individual courses; grade point averages (SGPAs/AGPAs/CGPAs) are weighted
sums of the grade points earned (see below), and thus do not necessarily correspond exactly to the scale above.
Note:
In order to “obtain standing” in a course, a student must receive at least a passing grade (50%)/P/CR in that course. A Grade of “F” is a failure.
There are no supplemental examination privileges in the Faculty.
AEG - Aegrotat Standing on the basis of term work and medical evidence
CR/NCR - Credit/No Credit; see above
EXT or XTR or X - Extra course, not for degree credit; course has no effect on status or grade point average.
GWR - Grade withheld pending Review
IPR - (Course) In Progress
LWD - Late withdrawal without academic penalty
NGA - No grade available
P/FL - Pass/Failure. In cases where the FL grade is used in calculating grade point averages, the symbol “FL %” is used and a grade point
value of 0.0 is assigned
SDF- Standing Deferred; granted only by petition
WDR - Late Withdrawal without academic penalty after the relevant deadline; granted only by petition Refer to information on Petitions.
Courses that are not included in the GPA are: courses noted with AEG standing, transfer credits, courses designated as Extra, courses taken
as CR/NCR, and courses evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis in which a grade of Pass (P) is achieved.
If a grade of Fail (FL) is achieved in a course evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis, a grade point value of 0.0 may be assigned in which case the
course is included in the GPA.
Courses taken as a non-degree student or a non-degree visiting student are included in the GPA.
1. The sessional GPA is based on courses taken in a single term or Session (Fall, Winter or Summer);
2. The annual GPA is based on courses taken in the Fall/Winter Session;
3. The cumulative GPA takes into account all courses taken in the Faculty, except courses marked Extra, courses completed with a
grade of P, and courses taken as CR/NCR;
4. The Concurrent Teacher Education Program (CTEP) GPA takes into account all Bachelor of Education courses. This GPA is only
used for CTEP students.
Sessional, annual, and cumulative GPAs are also calculated for all non-degree and non-degree visiting students. For non-degree students who
have completed a degree in the Faculty, the cumulative GPA includes all courses taken both as a degree student and as a non-degree student.
Academic Standing
There are four kinds of academic standing: In Good Standing; On Probation; On Suspension; Refused Further Registration. Academic standing
is assessed for the first time at the end of the session in which a student achieves final standing in at least 0.5 Full Course Equivalents (FCE)
(excluding Credit/No Credit, Pass/Fail, and courses marked Extra) in the Faculty of Arts & Science.
1. At the end of the Fall/Winter Session; the GPAs used for this assessment are the annual and the cumulative GPAs.
2. At the end of the Summer Session; the GPAs used for this assessment are the sessional and the cumulative GPAs.
In Good Standing:
Students are described as In Good Standing if they have not been assessed as On Probation, Suspended nor Refused Further Registration;
these terms are explained below.
44
Rules & Regulations
NOTE: Students On Academic Probation may take no more than 2.5 Full Course Equivalents (FCE) in each of the Fall and Winter
terms, and no more than 1.0 FCE in each of the Summer terms.
Academic appeals concern issues arising within a course that relate to the pedagogical relationship of the instructor and the student, such as
the organization of a course, grading practices, or conduct of instructors. These fall within the authority of the academic unit sponsoring the
course and are not the subject of petitions. Students are encouraged to discuss any issues regarding the academic aspects of a course first
with the instructor. It is recommended that such discussions should be documented in writing where appropriate. The successive stages of
appeal after the course instructor must be documented in writing. These successive stages are: the Undergraduate Coordinator or Associate
Chair; the Chair or Program Director of the Academic Unit; then the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Arts & Science. An appeal must have been
reviewed at the academic unit level before being referred to the Dean’s Office; appeals to the Dean’s Office must be in writing.
Petitions concern issues relating to degree requirements, academic regulations, examinations, and administrative rules. These may be
petitioned to the Faculty, provided the petition is submitted prior to the specified deadlines. The Faculty recognizes that an exception may be
required in the face of unpredictable, exceptional circumstances. In submitting a petition to have regulations waived or varied, students must
present compelling reasons and relevant documentation, and must demonstrate that they have acted responsibly and with good judgment in
attempting to observe Faculty regulations. Students are requested to present their entire case from the outset so their circu mstances may be
reviewed adequately for an equitable decision. The Committee on Standing routinely denies petitions that in its view do not present a valid
reason for an exception to the regulations. Students are encouraged to seek advice on all such matters from their College Registrar's Office.
Petitions must 1) state the student’s request; 2) provide the reasons why an exception should be made in a clear and concise manner; and 3)
be accompanied by relevant supporting documentation. A petition is considered in confidence by the Committee on Standing, which is charged
with interpreting and administering the regulations of the Faculty. The Committee has the authority to grant exceptions and to attach conditions
to its decisions.
It is the responsibility of the student to provide a valid UofT email address to which a petition decision may be sent. Only UofT email will be
used to reply to petitions. Non-receipt of a decision due to incorrect email address is not grounds for reconsideration.
The deadlines for petitions are strictly enforced. If there are compelling reasons why a petition is being filed after the deadline, a covering letter
explaining the reasons and requesting late consideration must accompany the petition. The issue of lateness must be satisfactorily resolved
before the substance of the petition may be considered. Late petitions without sufficient reason for lateness will not be considered, no matter
how compelling.
45
Rules & Regulations
• The deadline is five working days after the last day of the examination period for the term in question (for term work during the Fall
term, the deadline is five working days after the University reopens in January).
• The deadline is five working days after the last day of the examination period for the term in question (for December examinations, the
deadline is five working days after the University reopens in January)
• UTM/UTSC courses: Within 72 hours of a missed examination, students must file a petition with their Faculty of Arts & Science
College Registrar's Office, with the required supporting documentation
All documentation supporting petitions must be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than three weeks after the date th e student initiates
the petition.
Late petitions and petitions with late documentation will not be considered, as above.
The Faculty seeks documentation that provides pertinent evidence for decisions determining whether or not an exception should be made to
regulations that are designed to ensure equitable treatment for all students. Acceptable forms of documentation are of two types:
1) Medical:
• The best medical documentation acceptable at the University of Toronto is the University's Verification of Illness or Injury Form. This
form is designed to solicit the information needed for a petition, and nothing more. When submitted with a petition, students submit the
original document only; no faxed or scanned copies will be accepted. This form may only be completed by Dentists, Nurse
Practitioners, Physicians/Surgeons, Psychologists, Psychotherapists or Social Workers registered and licensed in
Ontario: www.illnessverification.utoronto.ca.
• If a student must substitute another document, the best document will contain precisely the same information required on a
Verification of Illness or Injury form: date(s) of visits, date range when the student was affected by the medical circumstances, and the
degree of impact on the student. This documentation must be original and be clearly marked with a signature, the practitioner’s
address, and the practitioner’s registration number.
2) Non-Medical:
Medical Documentation:
If illness is being presented as the reason for the request for an exception or an accommodation, the claim of illness itself is not necessarily
sufficient grounds to guarantee approval of the request. All cases are examined in their entirety before a decision is made: an illness or injury’s
duration and resulting incapacitation are taken into account along with other relevant factors in the context of the course at issue. Note that the
physician’s report must establish that the patient was examined and diagnosed at the time of illness, not after the fact. The Faculty will not
accept a statement that merely confirms a later report of illness made by the student to a physician.
Matters concerning term work normally fall within the authority of the instructor. Students unable to comply with given deadlines must contact
their instructor prior to the deadline if an extension to the deadline is being requested. Students should expect no consideration if an issue is
raised after the assignment deadline.
46
Rules & Regulations
Normally, all term work must be submitted by the last day of classes, unless an earlier date has been specified by the instructor. Instructors
may grant extensions beyond their own deadlines or beyond the last day of classes up until five working days after the end of the examination
period, provided that a student presents legitimate reasons, e.g. illness, with appropriate documentation as determined by the instructor.
Extensions beyond five business days after the end of the examination period can be approved only through a petition. Such petitions for an
extension of time for term work must also be initiated within five business days after the end of the relevant examination period. Late requests
will not be considered. Students must file the petition after consultation with the instructor regarding a suitable extension date. The Committee
on Standing consults the academic unit concerned for information about the status of the course work, and the steps, if any, that must be taken
to complete the course. Students seeking an extension of time for term work are expected to have been in contact with their instructor before
the initial deadline and must continue working on the outstanding assignments while they await a decision.
Students are expected to write their examinations as scheduled. Only in cases of documented debilitating illness or legitimate conflict should a
student request a deferral of a final examination. Students who are too ill and/or incapacitated at the time of the examinations should petition to
defer the examination they are unable to attend due to their medical condition. Petitions based on travel, employment, or personal plans will not
be considered as students are expected to make themselves available during the published Examination Period to write final examinations.
In response to a petition for a deferred examination, a student may be granted the opportunity to write a special examination at a subsequent
examination period or the regular examination in the next offering of the course. Satisfactory documentation must be provided to corroborate
illness (see above). Students with chronic illnesses must provide medical documentation for the specific date on which the illness was acute, or
a letter from Accessibility Services for those registered for such a disability (indicating they were seen at the time of flare up, etc.).
Students who have missed an examination and are requesting a deferral must submit a petition no later than one week after the end of the
examination period through their college registrar. There is a fee of $70.00 per deferred examination (maximum $140.00 for multiple deferral
requests in the same petition).
In the petition decision students are notified of the examination period in which the deferred examination will take place, and if the examination
will be a regular or special examination. They must register to take the deferred examination and pay the fee by the deadline given, in order that
arrangements can be made. The Faculty will notify those who do not register by the deadline that they have lost their privilege of a deferred
examination and will revert the mark to one that includes a zero for the final examination. No further consideration will be given.
The Faculty posts, as soon as possible after the regular examinations have been scheduled, personal deferred examination schedules online
for students who have paid the deferred examination fee. The table below should be used as a guideline; deferred exams may occur outside of
this timeline.
June • August examination period, if course offered in the second term of the Summer (July to August)
• December examination period, if course offered in Fall term
• Usually August examination periods for all others; could be April the following year.
August • Usually December examination period; could be February/April the following year.
Students who must write a deferred examination in a course that serves as a prerequisite for subsequent courses may enrol in those courses
provided they obtain the approval of the academic unit concerned and provided the term mark in the prerequisite (deferred) course is at least
60%. If students are enrolling in courses for which the deferred examination is a prerequisite, they are advised to consult the ac ademic unit
sponsoring the upcoming course: as they do not have the stated prerequisite, they may be removed during a pre-requisite check and
reinstatement may not be possible if the course is full.
Students who request permission to write an examination outside the normal examination arrangements, e.g. at an Outside Centre, must
submit a petition making their request at least three weeks prior to the beginning of the examination period. Late requests cannot be
accommodated. A non-refundable fee of $30.00 for each examination is charged at the time of application. Students who have been granted
permission to write a deferred examination will pay this fee in addition to the deferred examination fee of $70.00 per examination. These fees
do not apply for accommodations resulting from conflicts with religious obligations or from arrangements made through Accessibility Services.
47
Rules & Regulations
If permission has been granted for the examination to be written at an Outside Centre, students are also responsible for all costs for invigilation,
postage, etc. charged by the Outside Centres involved. Students are advised to determine the total cost before petitioning. Such permission is
granted only in the most extreme circumstances.
Notes:
1. Students who are granted Deferred Standing (i.e., the notation of “SDF”, for an extension of time for term work or for a deferred
examination) and who have earned a Cumulative Grade Point Average of less than 1.50 will not be permitted to enrol in any further
courses until the outstanding course work has been completed and final cumulative and sessional GPAs and status for the session
have been assessed.
2. A second deferral of an examination is generally not permitted. In the unusual instance where a second deferral is granted, the
student may not enrol in further courses until the deferred examination has been written and the course has been completed. In such
instances, pending the second deferred examination a mark of “0” for the examination will be included in the calculation of the course
mark and the “SDF” notation will be replaced by the resulting mark. Students are charged a further fee for each subsequent deferred
examination.
3. Students who are not feeling well at the time of an examination must decide whether they are too ill to write. If unsure, they should
seek medical advice. Students who become ill during an examination and cannot complete the examination must notify the Presiding
Officer at the examination about their situation before they leave the exam hall and should seek immediate medical
attention. Students who simply leave the examination hall will be assumed to have completed the examination.
4. If students decide to write an examination which does not go well, they may not petition for a rewrite or late withdrawal. Arguments
after the fact claiming an inability to function at full potential or to exhibit full knowledge of the subject matter will not be accepted as
grounds for consideration of a petition concerning poor performance on an examination.
5. Students who choose to write an examination against medical advice should do so knowing that they will not be given consideration
after the examination has been written. Students must not only take responsibility for making appropriate judgments about their fitness
to attend examinations, but also must accept the outcome of their choices.
1. Petition to the Committee on Standing by appropriate deadline submitted through College Registrar (see Deadlines to File Petitions);
2. Appeal to the Committee on Standing within ninety days of the first decision; second petition submitted through the College Registrar;
3. Appeal to the Faculty Academic Appeals Board within ninety days of the second decision; written request for a hearing submitted
through the College Registrar;
4. Appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee of Governing Council within ninety days of the decision of the Faculty Academic Appeals
Board; written request for a hearing submitted directly to the Governing Council Office in Simcoe Hall, through the Appeals, Discipline
and Faculty Grievances Office.
Reassessment of Marks
Requesting a Recheck of Calculation of a Course Mark
If a student believes that there has been an arithmetical error in calculating the course mark, a recheck can be requested. A recheck can be
requested with or without requesting a photocopy or viewing of the final examination. The student must fill out a “Request for Recheck of
Course Mark” form and submit it to the Office of the Faculty Registrar within six months of the final examination (see list of deadlines
below). Whenever possible, the student should indicate precisely the location of the possible error. The academic unit concerned will check
that the examination marks have been added correctly; the examination will not be reread. The academic unit will also check that all term work
marks have been correctly calculated. There is no fee for the recheck of a course mark. If the mark is changed as a result of this review, any
fees paid for an exam photocopy will be refunded.
If a student believes that a final examination has been incorrectly marked in its substance, or that a portion of an examination has not been
marked, a reread of the final examination may be requested. The student must first purchase a photocopy or request a supervised viewing of
the exam. Once the exam has been reviewed by the student, a “Request for Reread of Final Examination” form must be submitted to the Office
of the Faculty Registrar within six months of the final examination (see list of deadlines below). The student must demonstrate that that
examination answers are substantially correct by citing specific instances of disagreement, supported by such documentary evidence as course
handouts, textbooks, lecture notes, etc. The student must do more than simply assert that “I disagree with the marking,” or that “I believe I
deserve more marks.” The academic unit concerned will reread the examination in light of the arguments presented. There is a $36.00 fee for
this procedure, which is in addition to the fee of $15.00 charged for a photocopy of the final examination. If the mark is changed as a result of
this review, both the photocopy fee (if paid) and the reread fee will be refunded. It should be noted that when a course is failed, the
examination must be reread before the mark is reported.
NOTE: A recheck or reread may result in a raised mark, a lowered mark, or no change. By requesting a reread or recheck a student agrees to
abide by the outcome.

Rules & Regulations
For some examinations, particularly those with multiple-choice questions and/or those designed to be read mechanically, there may be an

The Colleges
The Arts & Science Council is the governing body in the Faculty of Arts & Science. The Council is composed of elected members from the
Faculty’s undergraduate and graduate students, teaching staff, administrative and technical staff, and normally meets eight times per year. It
approves policy for the Faculty in the areas of admissions, curriculum development, evaluation and academic standing, among others, and
determines the Faculty’s rules and regulations. Budgetary and administrative matters are not within the purview of Council; those
responsibilities lie with the Dean of the Faculty.
The Council has a number of Standing Committees charged with specific responsibilities to formulate policy and to apply it in specific cases.
Those committees are: Undergraduate Curriculum Committees, Committee on Standing (petitions), Academic Appeals Board, and the
Committee on Admissions. Approval of graduate curriculum in the Faculty is delegated to a Three Campus Curriculum Committee and reported
to Council for information only.
Details on the Council and its sub-committees, along with the Constitution and By-Laws, rules for elections, meeting dates and agendas can be
found on the Faculty’s Governance web site at http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/main/governance.
Elections to fill the positions on the Arts & Science Council and its committees are held in the Spring for the following year’s Council and
committees. The exception is the election of First-Year representatives, held early in the Fall Term. Notification of the nomination and election
dates, as well as nomination forms, will be available on the Faculty’s Governance web site and from the Office of the Faculty Registrar.
Students will be notified by email sent to their U of T email account.

many challenging opportunities, including student government, sports, drama, debates, choir, outreach programs, clubs, and research and
conference opportunities associated with academic programs.

University of Toronto. This has created a close-knit community that allows students to access a supportive, personalized and engaging
academic and social environment. Students have many opportunities to interact with each other and with staff and College Fellows and
Associates, who are among the University of Toronto’s most distinguished and are highly involved in student life. The College fosters

Learning Strategist, the International Student Advisor, and the Academic and Career Advisor. The College also places a significant emphasis

faculty students living in residence – to provide academic and community support for all Trinity students, both resident and commuter. The
College also offers a Peer Advisor program which consists of upper-year Trinity College students who offer guidance and advice to first-year

This course explores cinema's century-long fascination with animals.
Its investigations are organized around three central questions. First,
what does cinema teach us about animals (why and how we look at
animals on film, how we represent and understand animals through
film, and what lessons we hope to gain from animals on film)?
Second, what do animal films reveal or teach us about the cinema?
Third, what are the aesthetic, theoretical, and ethical stakes of such
encounters between animals and cinema?
