Guide to First Year

As the first Fall Term of your university studies approaches, we hope you, your family and friends are healthy and doing well. I’d like to take this opportunity to say congratulations on becoming a part of the U of T Engineering community!

In your first year at U of T Engineering, you will find yourself presented with many intellectual challenges and opportunities for self-discovery. Entering university comes with new-found independence and new responsibilities – and the Office of the Registrar is here to help you navigate the way.

As your partners in success, we are here to support you throughout your academic journey. We take pride in the many ways we serve our students, including:

• Providing guidance on academic rules and regulations
• Maintaining undergraduate academic records
• Supporting the petitions and appeals processes
• Issuing registration letters
• Managing post-exam services like exam viewing, final mark re-checks and final exam re-grades
• Offering advice on student loans, financial aid and scholarships
• Answering questions about the Faculty and University and referring you to useful resources
• Keeping you up to date via the Current Engineering Undergraduate website
• Delivering a monthly e-newsletter to all engineering undergraduates with important information on scholarship opportunities, awards, important deadlines, student life and much more.

To help you transition to university, we developed many dedicated resources, including this online Guide to First Year. Here, you’ll find information to orient you to the Faculty and help you get started over the coming months. We will continue to communicate with you over the summer via email as plans for the academic year evolve. These updates will also be reflected through U of T Engineering’s social media channels: @uoftengineering, @uofteng_registrar, and @uoft_eng_fyo. Stay connected to ensure you’re beginning your studies with the most up-to-date information.
