How to Enrol in Courses


IMS students enroll online, using ROSI.  Students are expected to enroll and confirm course registrations. The ROSI site has information on how to log into the system.  Contact the IMS Office if you need help.

There are two components to course registration:

  • Request the course. You will need the following information to request enrolment in a course online:
    • Activity Code = The identifying code of a course or activity (i.e. HIS2651Y)
    • Session Code = When the course starts (20119 is September 2011; 20121 is January 2012)
    • Section Code = Usually F (first term), S (second term), or both (Y)
  • Check course status. You are responsible for confirming the status of your course requests. After your have requested enrolment in a course, your request will be reviewed and approved or refused by both the graduate unit offering the course, and the IMS.

Some courses are uploaded automatically:

  • RST9999Y = This is the research component of your degree, not a specific course. You will see continuous enrolment in RST9999Y until you have completed your degree
  • MSC1010Y or MSC1011Y = These are the IMS Student Seminar programs. You will be enrolled in one of these two courses for the first two years of your degree program, or until you have completed the course requirements.
  • Professional Program courses (MHSc, MSCBMC, MHSc MRS)


 

Enrolling in Graduate Courses Offered by Other Departments


First, try enrolling in ROSI.  If that doesn't work, contact the Director of the Graduate Course to see what might be required to take the course.  Some courses have enrolment restrictions and require that you submit a Add/Drop Course Form signed by both the IMS Graduate Coordinator and the appropriate authority (course director or graduate coordinator) of the Department offering the graduate course. Download and complete the form and bring it to the department offereing the graduate course for signature.  Once the other graduate unit has approved your course request, they will "open a spot" for you in the course on ROSI and you can request the course. Then bring the form to the IMS office for signature (at least one week is needed to obtain a signature).  Once this signature is obtained, your course will be approved in ROSI.

Enrolling in Graduate Courses Offered by Other Universities


There are specific guidelines on how to take a course at another University for credit, depending on the University offering the course.  Most Canadian Universities have agreements that are arranged to simplify registration and reduce/eliminate course fees. Contact the IMS Office for assistance in enrolling in non-UofT courses.

Transferring Credit for Previously Completed Courses to your IMS Degree Program


With the approval of the IMS and the School of Graduate Studies, transfer credit may be granted for graduate work completed in another program, provided that the course(s) has not been credited towards another degree, diploma, certificate or any other qualification. Transfer credit will be limited to one full course or 25% of the program course requirements, whichever is greater. In order to request a transfer credit, you will need to submit the following to the IMS:   a course outline/syllabus, an official transcript from the University where you took the course, and a Transfer Credit Form.
