Final marks and GPAs
Most final marks and GPAs are available now on ROSI. Over the weekend of May 14, Academic Standing will be calculated once almost all marks have been finalized. Before this weekend, some corrections and amendments have been made, and you may have noticed these changes. We do not notify students about individual mark changes before Academic Standing is assessed, but from this point on we will send an amended statement of results to students whenever a mark is changed or a new Standing is calculated. The Calendar has more information about grading and academic standing.
Unresolved matters from 2009-2010
Any academic matters that remain unresolved from the past fall/winter session should be brought to the attention of your College Registrar's office as soon as possible. Don't delay if you've had or still have a problem.
Owe fees from 2009-2010?
If you still have fees to pay from the fall/winter session, you should do so as soon as possible. Fees were due in full by April 30. Service charges (interest) continue to be charged to outstanding fees on the 15th of each month, and arrears will interfere with your ability to register in the next session.
Bookstore offers new way to save on textbooks
The U of T Bookstore is launching a pilot of a new textbook rental program this term.

The Bookstore is starting small with the program in the summer, but hopes to get feedback from students and have many more titles available for rental in the fall.
Renewing curriculum and enriching education
Like urbanites who love the idea of their city's rich cultural smorgasbord but rarely sample its offerings, undergraduate students may marvel at the Faculty of Arts and Science's menu but stick to comfort foods. That's going to change, thanks to new breadth requirements that come into effect this fall, encouraging students to develop their palates.

Flex passes now available for the Athletic Centre
As the grass greens and winter coats are stored away for another year, many students are thinking about getting healthier this season. But between part-time jobs, summer school classes and camping trips, it can be tough to commit to a once-a-week class. With this in mind, the Athletic Centre has created a unique opportunity for summer students and members: two eight-week Flex Pass options at an incredible price. Remember, students not enrolled in summer classes must purchase a summer membership to use the Athletic Centre.
You can use the facilities at Hart House during the summer even if you are not registered for classes. Check out the Spring 2010 What's Inside Guide to see what programs are offered.
