summer school enrolment MADNESS

Hi,

I am currently an undergrad student at another Ontario university located near UofT. I intend on taking summer courses at UofT but I am worried about how fast courses tend to get filled up at UofT. Going off UofT previous enrolment time, visiting student begin enrolling last (http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/course/timetable/20135/step2) at around 5 pm of April 8th. I was hoping you could provide me some insight on whether or not I will be at a huge disadvantage registering for my summer courses

Thanks

hey there,

ok well assuming that they put you guys at the very end again (which they probably will because they’re butts what can i say), yeah, i’m not gonna lie, it’s not going to be a great situation. i mean enrolment goes really fast even without being at the end of the queue, so if you’re gonna do this, i’d recommend you have some backup courses ready, if that’s at all possible for you.

however i’d say it’s still worth it to try! especially if you just want to take courses in certain general areas rather than HAVING to take, like, this one very specific stats course or something, you can probably figure something out that’ll work for you. plus it’s a little less crazy in the summertime, so there’s that.

also, i know that since you’ve gone to the trouble of contacting me you probably already know to do this, but make sure that you’re at that computer at 4:50 on April 8th, on ROSI, with your first choices and backups ready beside you or in a separate document. you have to be completely prepared with what you’re going to do as soon as your start time hits, because that’s the only way you can increase your chances of getting into the classes you want.

i know that’s not GREAT news, but good luck with it anyway! and i hope you enjoy your summer regardless of what happens, man.

    I find that summer course enrollments are definitely not that hectic compared to the enrollment crunch during the regular term. But it depends on which courses you specifically want to take as well. But in general I think you stand a pretty good chance into getting the courses you need during the summer times – though like Aska said, do have backups at the ready!
