To Do List #3
1. Read The Guide to First Year
A hard-copy of the Guide to First Year was sent to you by mail in June, so you should expect to receive it soon if you have not already. The Guide will walk you through your First Year of Engineering, step-by-step, so be sure to read it carefully! You can view the electronic version of the Guide to First Year anytime on the Discover Engineering website.
2. Login to our online Student Information System (ROSI): rosi.utoronto.ca
We recommend that you login to your ROSI account as soon as possible to verify your personal information. Be sure that both your mailing address and email address are listed correctly. In August you will be able to see your course timetable on ROSI as well. Don’t worry, you don’t need to enroll in your classes, the Faculty will do this for you! For more information on ROSI, please see page 7 of the Guide to First Year.
3. Apply for Your Study Permit (International Students)
Any student planning to study at the post-secondary level in Canada who is not a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident must obtain a valid study permit before entering Canada. It is recommended that you begin this process as soon as possible. Students currently holding secondary school study permits within Canada are reminded that they will be required to apply for a valid post-secondary permit. Study permit information is available online through Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
For more information on services and procedures for international students, please visit the International Student Centre (ISC) website.
4. Sign up for First Year Foundations
First Year Foundation programs are designed to help you prepare for September, by easing the transition between high school and university. We are now accepting registrations for all of our summer programs. To find out more about the First Year Foundation courses, please visit undergrad.engineering.utoronto.ca/support/1styear.htm
You can also download a copy of the First Year Foundations Brochure on the Discover Engineering website.
5. Make sure you know your Math
Visit the First Year website for information and resources to help you prepare for your first year engineering math courses here.
6. Get your TCard (if you are able)
If you are in the Toronto area and are able, we suggest you get your TCard (U of T student identification card) during the summer, rather than waiting until September (when the line up at the TCard Office can be really long). Be sure to bring your offer of admission letter along with you, as well as photo ID – they will ask for this when you arrive at the TCard Office. If you are not currently living in Toronto, not to worry – you can get your TCard on campus closer to the start of classes: utoronto.ca/tcard.
