Workshop 3: Course Selection for Transfer Students

Consider this workshop your course planning boot camp. We'll review what you should prioritize when choosing courses, help you understand how courses will lead to programs, and how first year courses lead to completing your degree requirements. This workshop is tailored to students who are transferring to UofT from another academic institution. Attend a workshop specific to your admission category for tips that are more specific to your stream. By the end of this session, you should come away with an understanding of how to identify a list of the courses you need to take next year.
