Hi there,
I’ve tried asking my college about it but I think they misunderstood me. Long story short, I haven’t taken any courses this year at U of T but I want to take summer courses. I know the registration only opens on April 7 ( my college told me that) but when I go to ‘course enrolment’, ROSI tells me I am not eligible for course enrollment. This worries me a little. I really need to take courses this summer. Also, it might be worth noting that I intended to graduate in June but found out I could not. Do I have to officially cancel my graduation request or would it be done for me? I thought it was automatically cancelled. I am just really confused.
Thanks.

hey there,
There are a LOT of variables in this question (I can understand why your college registrar got confused), so i’m just gonna go through this possibility by possibility, and you comment or e-mail me if I misunderstood your situation, k?
Ok, possibility #1: You decided to take a year off to do some funky, super-cool stuff. Now you want to come back and complete your degree requirements in the summer. If that’s the case, then you have to go in to your college registrar’s office, fill out a form to reactivate your account, and then you’ll be able to enrol in summer courses. However, you won’t be able to graduate in June; you’ll have to graduate in November.
Possibility #2: You were suspended for a year. Now your suspension is up, and you want to come back and do courses in the summer. In that case, you have to make an appointment with your registrar’s office in order to discuss the possibility of you starting courses again in the summer (usually there’s no problem, but you have to make an appointment and discuss it with a registrar just in case). Again, if the courses are for the degree you were pursuing a year ago, you’ll have to graduate in November.
Possibility #3: I’m wondering why you couldn’t graduate in June. Is it just because of some ROSI mishap, and you’ve actually completed all your degree requirements, but you want to take some more courses in the summer as a non-degree student? In that case, you can probably graduate in June once you clear up whatever the problem is, but you’ll still need to reactivate your account at your registrar’s office in order to do courses again in the summer. If you can’t graduate because you actually haven’t fulfilled your degree requirements, then we’re back at Possibility #1.
As to your graduation request, it seems like you do need to cancel it manually. This page says that “[w]hen you log in [to ROSI], ROSI will communicate to you the degree you might be eligible to receive. You will be prompted to request graduation with the specified degree or to cancel a previous graduation request.” So if you’re not eligible to graduate, it looks like you have to cancel graduation yourself. Here is the graduation cancellation form for UC – seems like most colleges have a similar form to that one for cancellations. Take a look around for your college’s form.
Capice? Now, like I said, this is a more complicated question than most, so if I misunderstood any of the nuances, just contact me again and we’ll sort it out.
Stay rad,
