Course enrolment

For Fall and Winter courses begins 6:00am July 31 2024 on ACORN.

  • Review and save the Degree Checklist for your area of study. This document will help you ensure you are enrolled in all your required and elective courses and help you keep track of your progress. You will use the same checklist for the duration of your degree.

  • Refer to the Graduate Timetable and Course Descriptions documents in Music’s graduate student web page to start building your timetable. For most students, some mandatory courses may be added for you. Please ensure that all the courses on your record align with the checklist for your area of study and that you add any missing courses on ACORN. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure they are properly enrolled in all required and elective courses.

  • Continuous courses are identified with an “0” on in the course descriptions. These courses can run over several terms and will remain on your record until a grade is issued. Although you may be automatically enrolled in some of these courses when you begin your program, follow the guidelines on the Degree Checklist for your area in consultation with your Divisional Contact (see below) to determine when you should be completing the course.

  • When selecting elective courses, you may review other music graduate courses for options relevant to your area of study. Please note: some courses are “reserved” for students in another program and ACORN will not accept your enrollment request. Contact the course instructor and your supervisor or area head to request permission to enrol. Send an Add/Drop Course for them to sign and save/email to gradadmin.music@utoronto.ca.

  • It may be possible to take an elective outside of the Faculty of Music with approval from your Area Chair/Divisional Coordinator, and approval from the host department. If you are not able to add the course through ACORN, you must use the SGS Course Add/Drop Form to enroll and receive signature from the host department and Music’s divisional contact. Submit the completed form to the Graduate Office (gradadmin.music@utoronto.ca).

  • New MMus students with MUS4210H as part of their degree requirements will be contacted regarding a placement test (completed remotely.) Those who pass will receive an exemption from this course. Credits earned through the exemption process must be made up with other course(s) of at least the same credit weight.

  • Ensemble and/or other courses requiring auditions or placement will be added for students following the audition/placement process. Please consult the Performance Office for any questions pertaining to ensemble placement auditions: performance.music@utoronto.ca
