Important Dates
Be sure to keep track of the dates and deadlines that affect you as a student. Most important University dates are divisional, that is, they are specific to your faculty, school, UTSC, UTM or a specific program of study. The official source for these dates is your division’s academic calendar.
Here are the different kinds of dates you should seek out from your division and carefully record. This is a starting point – not an exhaustive list.
Sessional Dates
Each faculty or school publishes a list of important academic dates. These include the first and last day of classes, examination periods and the deadlines for adding and dropping courses. Please note that course add/drop dates are not the same as the fee refund schedule for your division (see Financial Dates below).
Here are the links to the Sessional Dates:
- UTSC
- UTM
- Faculty of Arts and Science
- Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering
- John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design
- Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education
- Faculty of Music
- School of Graduate Studies
For all other divisions, check your academic calendar.
Financial Dates
Deadlines for fee payment, fee refund schedules and other financial dates are posted on the Student Accounts website.
Each division publishes a refund schedule. This schedule outlines the dates by which you must drop a course in order to be refunded all or part of your fees. The refund dates are not the same as the academic add/drop dates (see Sessional Dates above).
