2010 Summer Courses

The summer session is a great time to pick up courses that you may have missed this fall/winter or courses that you may need or want to take before next September. The Faculty of Arts & Science has one of the largest summer programs in Canada. The tentative 2010 summer timetable is now available, and the final version will be available in late March.

June 2010 Graduation

Planning to graduate in June 2010? It's a good idea to re-check your degree and program requirements now. This will prevent any nasty surprises in future. Be sure to print off the current version of your academic record from ROSI rather than relying on memory or earlier versions so you are sure of what will be assessed. If you have questions about your degree requirements, contact your college registrar's office; for program requirements, contact your department or program sponsor.

2010-2011 Academic Calendar Dates

The preliminary academic calendar dates for the 2010-11 Summer and the Fall/Winter sessions have now been posted. The official dates will be in the next Calendar when it is released in the spring. We will begin the Monday after Labour Day as we used to. Also, we will not make up the classes not held on Thanksgiving Monday in the same way we did this year, i.e., with a “Wacky Wednesday.” Instead, instructors of affected classes will be offered the possibility of a make-up class at the end of the fall term if they need it, so you will hear about that in your individual classes. Given the constraints of the calendar next year, we may have to have some Saturday exams in order to fit in all the final exams by the end of April in 2011. More information

Don't I know you? Research sheds light on how cues and context kick-start memory recall
