New Students

• enrolled in a full-time undergraduate program
• admitted into the first semester of a new program (not Advanced Standing or Direct Entry)
• offer of admission is confirmed before mid-July

If you’re automatically enrolled in your required courses, your class schedule will appear on your Student Center in MyServiceHub in early August. You must enrol in your elective courses and can adjust your required courses during your enrolment period.

If you are not already enrolled in your fall term required courses, you must enrol in all of your courses (required or elective or both) during your enrolment period.

There will be new info provided to you in the last week of July from your program department. Your course enrolment start date will be confirmed on MyServiceHub.

You are expected to follow the curriculum as published in the Undergraduate Calendar for the program and year level you are enrolled in.

Automatic Course Enrolment:

If you (the student) have been auto-enrolled in courses for which you have received transfer credits, you will need to adjust your enrolments. You can drop the courses that you received transfer credits for to free space up for other courses. Use the program curriculum listed in the Undergraduate Calendar as a guide. If you require support with course selection, contact your program advisor.

Non-applicable transfer credits within TMU:

If you (the student) have transferred between Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) programs, you do not need to apply for transfer credits. You must check your Advisement Report, and if any courses completed in your previous program are listed in the non-applicable section. Have non-applicable courses? Consider submitting a Course Directive or Course Substitution for review in applying it towards your degree requirements. Visit Internal Course Transfers for more info, and if you need help, contact your program advisor.

Please note that we may not be able to accommodate all of your selected courses in your course intentions.

Possible reasons could include:

• Student holds on file that block enrolment at the time of schedule upload

• Class conflict
• Class enrolment capacity
• A combination of one or more of the reasons listed above

If there is no wait list for the course, you should check back to see if spaces become available over time. As other students adjust their course schedules, spaces in courses often open up.

If you are attempting to enrol into a non-required course (e.g. electives, liberal studies), you may opt to take an alternative course to fulfil the program requirement. There may be another opportunity to enrol into your desired course in a future term. 

If you are attempting to enrol into a core/required course for your program and term, please reach out to your academic program advising contact for advice.
