First Year Seminars
The following timetable information is the most current information available as of the publication of the 2011-2012 Registration Handbook.
First Year Seminar courses are offered as full-credit courses or as half-credit courses. Each 199Y1 or 199H1 seminar has a generic designator, which corresponds to the Breadth Category the course fulfils:
CCR – Creative and Cultural Representation
TBB – Thought, Belieft and Behaviour
SII – Society and Its Institutions
LTE – Living things and Their Environment
PMU – Physical and Mathematical Universes
XBC – Cross Breadth Category - Y course seminar that counts as half in each of two breadth categories
These courses do not have waitlist on the first day of enrolment.The waitlist option will be available on July 26, at 6:00 a.m. Each meeting section is a different course with a few exceptions where two sections of the same course are offered. Refer to the Faculty of Arts and Science website, www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current for further information and full descriptions of the seminar courses.
First Year seminar courses are restricted to first year degree students newly admitted to the first year in the Faculty of Arts and Science, St. George campus. Students admitted from other institutions or faculties with fewer than four transfer credits are also eligible to enrol in these courses.
Some first year seminar courses have college membership as an enrolment control. During the priority period, July 25 to August 4 college sections of Innis, New, St. Michael's, Trinity, University, Victoria and Woodsworth give students associated with that college priority. On August 5, starting at 6:00 a.m., first year students from any college may enrol into these college section courses pending availability of space. For example, XBC199Y1 section L0031, title, gives priority to students accepted into Victoria College from July 25 to August 3. On August 5, students from any of the other St. George campus colleges may try to enrol. You will not be permitted to add the course if you do not satisy the college membership during the priority period. If you "view timetable/spaces" on ROSI for the First Year seminars, ROSI will indicate "You do not fit any enrolment control". For these sections, try on August 5.
SPECIAL FIRST DAY OF ENROLMENT INSTRUTIONS – July 25 ONLY!
On July 25 only, the first day of enrolment for 1st year students, a certain number of spaces is allocated to each admission stream. When you "view timetable/spaces" for the first year seminar courses, ROSI will indicate your enrolment category is full; however, there may be spaces still remaining in the course. Try to enrol on July 26 at 6:00 a.m., when any remaining spaces will be open to students in any admission stream. There are no waitlists on the first day of enrolment, July 25.Waitlists will be turned on starting July 26 at 6:00 a.m.
