Research Stream students interested in taking a directed readings course must have the approval of their supervisor/s and work with a faculty member/instructor to complete and submit a Directed Readings form. The form must be submitted to researchstream@daniels.utoronto.ca for departmental review and approval. 

Please click here for the Directed Readings form.

Inter-Departmental Elective Courses
To request enrolment in electives offered by other departments you must obtain the instructor's signature and the host department coordinator/administrator's signature before submitting the Add/Drop form to  researchstream@daniels.utoronto.ca for final approval. It is important that the form be completed correctly. To ensure your form can be processed, please provide us with contact information for the host department administrator so we may to confirm your approval. Please note that other department enrolment dates will differ from that of the Daniels Faculty and it is your responsibility to be aware of these dates and contact the departments as appropriate.

Waiting Lists
The Waiting List is a feature that lets you "line up" for a course that's currently full, in case a space becomes available in the future. If a student cancels the course and you're next on the waiting list, you'll be enrolled automatically. An email will be sent to your U of T email account to notify you of the enrolment.

What you need to know about waiting lists:

• Waitlisted courses count towards your overall session load.
• In the Fall/Winter, you can be on the waiting list for up to 1.0 FCE as a full-time student and 0.5 FCE as a part-time student. 
• All Daniels Faculty ARC, LAN, and URD elective courses have waiting lists. VIS and FOR electives do not.
• Waiting lists are not available for the entire duration of the enrolment period. Please refer to the Sessional Dates for waitlist deadlines.

We recommend that you prepare as many alternative elective course choices as possible. If a class is full on the last day to enrol and you are not officially enrolled in the course, you do not have the right to be in the class, and will not be granted late registration.

Canceling/Dropping a Course
If you decide that you no longer want to take an elective course, cancel it as soon as possible on ACORN and prior to the drop deadline. This applies to elective courses that you've added to the waiting list, as well as those in which you are enrolled. Please do not occupy an elective space that you know you do not want. Only by canceling the elective course will your space become available to another student.

If you are considering dropping a core course requirement such as studio, please first book an appointment to speak with an advisor in the Office of the Registrar and Student Services. As core courses are prerequisites to progress to the next session of core courses, it is important that you understand all implications of your choice.

You will be responsible for any academic penalties incurred if you do not cancel courses by the appropriate deadlines. The academic drop deadlines are listed in the Sessional Dates.
