Returning students enrolled in degree programs will participate in a course intention process in early March for the following Fall and Winter terms.

Students normally will not be allowed to enroll in courses unless they have passed the immediate prerequisite or other prior level courses. Students with outstanding financial accounts from previous years will be prohibited from further enrollment, until satisfactory payment arrangements have been made.

Students are academically and financially responsible for all courses and charges that accrue as a result of the Course Intention (formerly referred to as Course Selection), and/or the Open Enrollment processes, unless the Enrollment Services and Student Records Office is notified in writing within university deadlines (see section on 'Withdrawals'). These charges also apply to continuing education course enrollments, changes and drops. Non-attendance/non-payment is not acceptable for the removal of courses and fee charges.

GENERAL COURSE ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

1. Students are responsible for ensuring that the course(s) in which they enroll, is correct and appropriate to their degree plan and will meet the requirements for graduation. Students must remember that they are financially and academically responsible for each course they enroll in.
   
2. Students should not enroll in a course, without prior permission via the Course Substitution process, that is not a required or elective course in their program's curriculum (see #11).
   
3. Prior to enrolling in a course, a student must verify the relevance of the course to their curriculum requirements. For instance, some Sociology courses are classified in the Calendar as Professionally-Related and some are classified as Liberal Studies. Students must ensure they are enrolling in the correct classification of a course. This can be verified in RAMSS. 
   
4. Courses within a program are grouped into semesters.
   
5. Course offerings may vary from term to term. All courses listed within a table under a particular program, may not necessarily be offered in all terms.
   
6. Some course enrollment adjustments must be authorized by the student’s program department, and all must be initiated by the dates listed in this Calendar. Students are permitted to make changes to their course enrollment during the specified course intention period each term.
   
7. Course Intention/Section Confirmation: Students have full access to Ryerson's Administrative Management Self Service (RAMSS) to verify their courses and sections in which they are enrolled. Students are required to verify this information by the end of the first month of the term. Students are required to make any necessary corrections with their program department within two weeks. A $100 (subject to change) Addition to Enrollment Record fee will be levied for each course or grade added to a student’s enrollment after the following dates: Fall term - November 4th, Winter term - March 3rd. Students are academically and financially responsible for all courses selected, unless they make corrections by the designated deadline.
   
8. Students wishing to drop courses without academic penalty should consult the Significant Dates section of this Calendar for deadline dates. 
   
9. Courses Not Counted/Course Replacement: Students are required to advise the Enrollment Services and Student Records Office at the time of enrollment, of courses which are being substituted for previously failed courses, or of courses which are not in their curriculum.
   
10. Students will obtain final grades at the end of term only for those courses in which they are officially enrolled. The onus is on the students to ensure that they are officially enrolled in courses being taken. A $15 (subject to change) search fee per course will be charged if students have not enrolled properly but have attended classes. There is no guarantee that grades will be found by this search.
    
11. Program Change/Course Directive/Course Substitution: Students are required to complete the curriculum for their program as outlined in this Calendar. It is the responsibility of each student to obtain a new Calendar, each year, and follow their curriculum as stated. Any requests for curriculum/course directive/course substitutions or other modifications to program requirements must be approved by the Chair/Director of both the appropriate program and teaching departments. Course Directive/Course Substitution forms are available from the Academic Advising Office and at www.ryerson.ca/forms. Failure to obtain written permission on the appropriate form and within the established deadline will result in ineligibility to graduate.
12. No course can be repeated more than twice (three completions in total when the original attempt is included). If at least one of the course attempts results in a passing grade, the course will count towards graduation requirements irrespective of the sequence of grades earned. A student will receive a Suspended Academic Standing after three failures in the same course.  Equivalent courses taken elsewhere under Letter of Permission and where a 'Failed' grade has been received will also be included in the three failure count.
