Step 3: Review Program Descriptions in online
Calendar to determine Required 1st Year courses
Major program in Economics requires
two courses in first year with
specific final grades as part of the
requirements for admission to this
limited enrolment program:
ECO100Y1/ECO105Y1 plus
MAT133Y1/(MAT123H1, MAT124H1)/
(MAT135H1, MAT136H1)/
MAT137Y1/MAT157Y1
Step 4: Consider Elective Course Options
1. Courses that can help fulfill the Breadth
Requirement:
4. Introductory courses that will give you
additional Subject POSt options:
•
The required courses for your programs of interest
will fulfill some of your breadth requirement.
•
•
You don’t have to complete the Breadth requirement
in 1st year, but it can be a good opportunity to take
an elective course in a category you need
It is important to have several options for Subject
POSts at the end of 1st year in case your first choice
is not what you expected or you do not achieve the
grade needed to enter the program
•
Taking an additional introductory course allows you
to explore other interests you may have
2. Small class experiences – 199 courses,
FLCs, New One
3.
•
These are unique opportunities only available in
your 1st year, including a chance to get to know
your professor - each class usually has no more
than 25 students
•
•
The advantage of being at a university as large as
U. of T. is the huge selection of courses
•
Professional programs (medicine, pharmacy, social
work etc.) generally focus on marks and not
program choices, but may suggest some courses
to take during your undergraduate years
199 courses are designed to help fulfill the breadth
requirement and you should ideally choose one in
a category that is different from your main
programs of interest
3. Skills development courses – e.g. writing
courses and languages:
•
5. Explore something that wasn’t available
in high school or that may help towards
future goals:
Courses such as Effective Writing (ENG100H1) or
Writing Essays (INI103H1) can help build skills that
will be valuable for other courses you take
U. of T. offers over 40 different languages to learn
6. Anti-Calendar - available online at
www.assu.ca:
•
Consider what other students have thought of
courses
•
The Anti-Calendar is published by the student
union and provides student evaluations of courses
and professors to help students make informed
choices

you to create a more “efficient” timetable by selecting a
Practical Meeting Section for a first-year science course
that will alternate - in the same time slot - with a Practical
Meeting Section in another first-year science course. e.g.
CHM138H1 (F) P0201 (Tues. 2:10-5:00) will alternate with
BIO120H1 (F) P0202 (Tues. 1:30-4:30). ( Refer to online
Registration Instructions and Timetable for more details. )
Step 8: Check Faculty Website for Changes to
Timetable Listings Prior to Course Enrolment
Check course listings on the Faculty of Arts and Science’s online
Timetable periodically to see if there have been any changes made to
the time or location of classes you wish to enrol in
