The University’s Assurance of Financial Support

The University of Toronto is committed to ensuring that students who are offered admission will have the financial support necessary to allow them to enter and complete their program. This assurance is based on the assumption that Canadian citizens, permanent residents and protected persons will first access the government aid for which they are eligible. 

For Ontario residents, unmet need is assessed based on OSAP because it provides a uniform method of assessing student need. Unmet need for students from other Canadian provinces is assessed based on the result of their provincial government's student aid programs. 

A financial counselling and resource directory is available for students on the Enrolment Services website.

THE ONTARIO STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) provides need-based financial assistance to Ontario residents who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons (recognized convention refugees). Students with recognized full-time course loads are considered for both federal and provincial interest-free student loans and grants to assist with educational and living expenses. For more information, visit the OSAP website. 

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Financial Aid (UTAPS)

UTAPS is for full-time students who receive the maximum government financial aid available but whose funding still doesn't cover all their university costs. UTAPS helps fill the financial gap. Ontario residents must be receiving OSAP to be considered. If you're receiving financial aid from another Canadian province, territory or a First Nations band, you may be eligible for UTAPS too. Full details about this program are available on the Enrolment Services website.

OTHER PROVINCE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Students who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons (recognized convention refugees) outside of Ontario may be eligible for financial assistance from their provincial government. Applications are usually available in late May or early June. For more information, visit the Enrolment Services website.

FACULTY OF KINESIOLOGY AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION GRANTS

Ontario residents with unmet financial need beyond their OSAP funding may apply for grants administered by the KPE Registrar’s Office. Applications are due on ACORN by November 1 for consideration in the first round of grants. For full application instructions please visit the ACORN help website.

OTHER GRANTS AND AWARDS

A comprehensive list of other grants, recognition awards and scholarships is available on the Award Explorer website. 

FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Students with permanent disabilities may receive funds through the Canada Student Grant for Persons with Permanent Disabilities as part of their OSAP funding. In addition, grants are available through the Ontario Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD) and the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Persons with Permanent Disabilities to help with disability-related supports and services for students with permanent or temporary disabilities. More information is available from the Enrolment Services website.

Timetable Planner

Ontario’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Changes will likely occur as the province and its municipalities adjust to new data about the virus. In these circumstances, please be advised that the manner of delivery of courses, co-curricular opportunities, programs and services is subject to change, in accordance with university policies. The University thanks its students, faculty, and staff for their flexibility during these challenging times as we work together to maintain the standards of excellence that are the hallmark of the University.

Our online timetable planner helps you visualize your schedule for the fall and winter terms. Click the link below.

• Year 1 Timetable Planner (TBA)

COURSE LECTURE TIMES

All of your required first-year courses have fixed meeting times. These courses form the core of your timetable. 

TUTORIALS

Tutorials are smaller group learning sessions and are listed on the timetable as TUT. In some courses you may be asked to choose a tutorial section when registering for your course on ACORN.

KPE182H1

The KPE182H1 course meets in smaller sections of 20-30 students. Choose one of the ten sections listed on the timetable. The content taught in each section will be the same; however, the instructor of the class will vary by section.

Other Division ELECTIVE

Search for an appropriate other division elective using the links on the Timetable webpage.

VARSITY BLUES

A big part of the University of Toronto experience is Varsity Blues athletics. Whether you are a Varsity athlete, a student, staff member, or a fan, U of T is committed to giving everyone enough team spirit to #BleedBlue!

The Varsity Blues program provides students with the unique opportunity to pursue athletic excellence and a challenging academic program at one of the world’s leading public research universities. Student-athletes are promoted through our online home at varsityblues.ca, as well as through Facebook (/VarsityBlues), Twitter @Varsity_Blues, Instagram @VarsityBlues and YouTube (/UofTVarsityBlues).

Student’s Responsibility

It’s your responsibility to be aware of policies, procedures and deadlines in effect during your time as a U of T student. It’s also your responsibility to attend classes regularly, keep your work up to date and to complete assignments as required.

A complete listing of policies and procedures is available in the current Undergraduate Academic Calendar.

Course specific policies can be found in the course outline posted on Quercus.

Petitions and Appeals

We want all students in the Faculty to be treated equitably and fairly. However, there can be valid reasons why students should be granted an exception from our policies and procedures. Consideration will be given if you are experiencing problems that are beyond your control. Most of these situations concern illness, personal problems, accidents, family difficulties, etc. Please meat with an Academic Advisor in the KPE Registrar’s Office for support and assistance with petitions and appeals. More information about petition procedures is available on the Petitions & Appeals webpage. 

Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters and Code of Student Conduct

U of T trusts you not to cheat, plagiarize, discriminate, harass people, disrupt classes/activities or use technology in an unauthorized or inappropriate way. We know you don’t want to do these things either, so to make sure you understand our codes of conduct, please refer to the Governing Council website.
