Practical Information

Registration & Fees

A student is considered as registered as soon as he or she has paid tuition and incidental fees. Alternatively, a student may submit a Request for Fees Arrangement form to register for the academic year. The deadline for either method of registration is on the last Friday of August.

For information on the current fees for the academic year and how to pay, please visit the Fees Department.

Students may defer payment of fees on the basis of a scholarship, teaching assistantship and/or research assistantship.  The amount of funding must cover at least the minimum first payment indicated on your Fees account.  To defer payment of fees until April, please fill out the Request for Fees Arrangement form and forward to the Chemistry Graduate Office by the last Friday of August in person or e-mail.   A student who requests for payment deferral will remain to have outstanding fees and will continue to receive notification from the Fees Department regarding their unpaid balance.  Service charges will begin to accrue in May on unpaid balances of fees.

Students who register after the second Friday of September must go to School of Graduate Studies (63 St. George Street) with the receipt of payment and pay the late registration fee to be registered. Unregistered students will be removed from courses (and will have to re-enroll by the appropriate deadline), denied access to U of T facilities and will not receive tuition credit for September.

Course Enrolment

Students must enroll in courses on-line through ROSI - the Student Web Service.  Courses for the upcoming academic year is listed on the Course Timetable.

Please refer to the Course Enrolment Instructions and submit the Departmental Course Enrolment form to the Chemistry Graduate Office by September 15. Selection of courses must be approved by both research supervisor and the Graduate Studies Committee field representative.  Visit the School of Graduate Studies for the important dates to add and cancel courses without academic penalty.

For details about the course requirements for your program and/or field of study, please see the MSc and PhD Program Requirements.

Teaching Assistantships

Chemistry graduate students teach from 50 to 200 hours per academic year, depending on their sources of funding. Students may teach at any of the three campuses to fulfill their teaching requirement. For more details, please visit Teaching Assistantship.

Generally, fall and winter postings are announced in June and summer postings in March by the Chemistry Graduate Office. It is recommended that students keep track of their hours by retaining the copies of their teaching contracts.

Maintain Interest-Free OSAP

Students who need to maintain an interest-free OSAP must take their Continuation of Interest-Free Status/Confirmation of Enrolment (Schedule 2) form to the School of Graduate Studies at 63 St. George Street.
