How to Enrol
This tutorial is for undergraduate and graduate students.
For Continuing Education student tutorials, please refer to the Continuing Education Academics page.
Start by navigating through the Student Center tile and clicking the Shopping Cart quick-link.
There are three different ways to search and enrol in classes and enrol in classes from the Shopping Cart:
- Option 1: Use My Classes Offered search functionality and Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to build your optimal class schedule (Recommended option for undergraduate students)
- Option 2: Enrol from My Classes Offered search functionality (recommended for undergraduate students to select courses during the course intention period)
- Option 3: Search for and enrol in a specific class (recommended for graduate students, Law students, and Chang School students)
Log in to your my.torontomu.ca (opens in new window) portal and select the MyServiceHub tab.
From your ‘Student Homepage’ in MyServiceHub select the Student Center tile to access your Shopping Cart.
In your Student Center, click on the Shopping Cart quick-link.
Note: you can also access your Shopping Cart through the Manage Classes tile.
The Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) is an online self-service tool, available through MyServiceHub, that enables you to generate possible schedules based on your course choices.
Pin courses with preferred times, block time slots and drag and drop courses directly into your schedule. Then enrol into your entire schedule in one easy step!
The Enrol from My Classes Offered feature is the recommended option for Undergraduate students to select courses during the course intention period.
This feature allows you the ability to enrol using a filtered version of your Advisement Report that shows only courses you have completed, and classes that are offered to your program and plan in the term you are enrolling for.
-
In your Student Center, click on the Shopping Cart quick link.

- You can add and delete classes from your cart and validate that they fit your schedule and/or that you meet the requisites at any time.
- Your current class schedule is shown at the bottom of this page.
-
Click the button beside My Classes Offered. Click Search.
This is a filtered version of your Advisement Report that shows only courses you have completed and classes that are offered to your program and plan in the term you selected.

When you have finished building your class schedule and your Shopping Cart contains all the classes you want to enrol in, you are ready to do a validation.
Validation is like a "test-drive" for enrolment. You can complete this step if you are selecting courses outside of your online enrolment appointment timeline.
Some of the things that validation checks are:
- Is there a seat available in the class?
- Does the class schedule conflict with another class that you have selected or one that you are already enrolled in?
- Have you met the requirements for the class?
- Is there a hold on your account?
If a class does not validate, you can delete it from your Shopping Cart and add another one. You continue this process until all your selected classes validate successfully.
Click the check-box beside the classes you want to validate. Click Validate.
The selected classes are evaluated and a validation status for each class displays along with a message.
There are three types of messages that you might receive from validation:
Message Status OK to Add- You can enrol in the class with no problems
Warning - The class may be added
Error - A potential problem has been found that could stop you from enrolling in a class. If this occurs, you can select another class and try again or contact your program department

If you have a Hold on your academic record, this needs to be addressed before proceeding with any further enrolment.
