Academic & Personal CounsellingThe Colleges Every Arts and Science student is a member of a college. Think of your college as a familiar neighbourhood within 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 skill 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 and 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. Most of the Colleges offer academic support services, such as Writing Laboratories to provide students with assistance in writing assignments, essays and reports; Mathematics Aid Centres; tutorial services; etc. For further information, see the individual College listings (see page 494) or consult the College Registrar. Students with 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 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 brochures 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 Major or two Minor program(s) upon passing four courses.) Students registered in Divisions other than Arts and Science who have problems with Arts and Science courses should go for advice either to the departmental Undergraduate Secretary or to the registrar of their own Faculty or School.

Faculty and staff carry a responsibility for creating and maintaining an inclusive environment in their teaching and work settings and responding appropriately to requests for accommodation of a disability. Accessibility Services provides support and advice for faculty and staff regarding appropriate accommodations, information about disabilities, and community resources. Responsibilities of Students who have Disabilities Students who request accommodations for their academic programs and related activities at the University are obligated to disclose their disabilities to the respective campus Service for Students with Disabilities, and request accommodations in a timely manner to facilitate the implementation of support and services. It is vitally important that students discuss their needs as early as possible with the Service in order to put accommodations in place. Students must present relevant and up-to-date documentation, as outlined on the website, from an appropriate health care professional. Support Services for Students There are offices on all three U of T campuses that work to facilitate the inclusion of students with disabilities into all aspects of university life. The focus is on skills development, especially in areas of self-advocacy and academic skills. Services are provided to students who have a physical, sensory, or learning disability; mental-health disability; acquired brain injury; or chronic-health condition, as well as students who have temporary disabilities such as a broken dominant arm. The Service provides a wide range of support, including: • Learning disability assessments • Adaptive technology assessments • Adaptive technology and assistive devices • Alternative test and examination arrangements • Volunteer note-taking services • Sign-language interpreters • Information on disability-related issues • Liaison with academic and administrative offices within the University and with off-campus agencies • On-campus transportation (St. George campus only) To access the Service, students meet with an advisor to discuss individual needs, accommodations, and strategies for success. Where appropriate, eligible students are referred to one of the professionals on staff such as the Adaptive Technology Equipment Consultant, Learning Disability Specialist, or Occupational Therapist, for assessments to identify strategies and determine accommodations. Any information about a student’s disability is confidential and is not shared outside the Service unless the student gives permission. Students are encouraged to meet and discuss their needs with their instructors. There is a Bursary for Students with a Disability (BSWD) for students who have applied and established eligibility for OSAP. The BSWD helps students with disability-related educational costs while attending post-secondary institutions. To access the bursary, students meet with a Service advisor on their campus. University-funded alternate bursaries are also available for eligible support and services.

If you have received your Admission to the University but did not indicate that you were interested in residence on your application form, contact the Student Housing Service. The University does not guarantee an offer of residence to students who did not indicate an interest in residence until after they were admitted to U of T, or to those who are new to U of T but with previous university experience, such as transfer students.

Rooms in shared houses or apartments generally cost $350 - $600 per month. Students requiring private apartments should expect to pay $550 - $750 (Bachelor), $700 - $900 (One bedroom), $900 - $1300 (Two bedroom), or $1300 - $1800 (Three bedroom house/apartment).

Students who satisfy these criteria but do not receive the certificate at the end of the appropriate session should write to the Faculty Registrar, Faculty of Arts and Science, Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St. George St., Toronto ON, M5S 3G3. Dean’s List certificates are not issued at the end of the Fall Session. Recognition of Exceptional Academic Achievement: “High Distinction” and “Distinction” Students who graduate with a Cumulative GPA* of 3.50 or above are described as graduates “With High Distinction”. This achievement 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 credits taken in the Faculty and used for degree credit. Faculty Scholarships The Faculty offers many academically-based scholarships and other awards to exceptional degree students. Full details of these scholarships are available on the Faculty web site at www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/undergraduate. Faculty of Arts & Science Language Citation Program 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 two full courses or their equivalent beyond the first-year level of language instruction, and must achieve at least a B- in each of the courses beyond the introductory level. The two full-course equivalents may be language instruction or may be those taught in the language to be assessed. The Language Citation will consist of a notation on the transcript that reads: “Completed Requirements of Language Citation in [name of language].” This will appear in the Arts & Science sessional segment of the student’s academic record on the transcript describing the courses and marks for the session in which the Citation is assessed as complete. Note that Language Citation is not a “program of study” or Subject Post, and will not satisfy the degree requirement that specifies the minimum programs of study to qualify for 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. The Language Citation will be available to students beginning with the graduating class of 2007. Students who have already graduated may be eligible if they return for further language study that contributes to the assessment of the Citation. The Citation will not be assessed for students who have completed their studies and have not re-enrolled. To be assessed for the Language Citation, students should contact the department or program that will be assessing the language for the Citation. They should present a copy of their academic record, and indicate which courses they would like 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 department about appropriate placement. Also, students wishing to include courses taken in the country where the language is spoken should consult the relevant department 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 for assessment for Arts & Science students. The entries below identify the languages in which a student may currently request an assessment for a Language Citation and the department at which to inquire.
