How-to

Once your division has setup your enrolment start time, usually a week or so prior to the day, this information will display on three ACORN screens:

1. Dashboard
2. Enrol & Manage
3. Courses

ACORN will not take any additional actions if you enrol in courses that result in a conflict (i.e it will not drop any course activities on your behalf). It is up to you to resolve any conflicts. You can either leave the courses as they are or enrol in alternative options. 

You can try to resolve the conflict in a few different ways:

• Explore different combinations and permutations of course sections
• See if you can take one of the courses at a later term
• Select a different course if one of the conflicting courses is not required to complete your program or degree

1. On the Courses screen, click the pencil icon on the right side of the course section that you want to change.
2. On the course’s pop-up modal, select the course section(s) you would like to switch to.
3. Click “Modify”.
4. If you have successfully switched to your desired course section you will receive a success notice on the top right corner of your screen and the change will be reflected on the Courses page.

1. When a final grade is released for each of your courses, you will see a blue badge containing a number on top of a bell icon at the top of your screen. This leads to your Notifications & Activity log. Click this icon.
2. If you have received a final grade, there will be a notification here alongside a log of any other notifications and activity in your account. Click the link within the notification to view your grade.
3. You will be taken to your Academic History page containing your final grade for the course. You can come to your Academic History page at any time via the left navigation menu on ACORN to see an up-to-date list of your final grades.

Watch a video walkthrough of the GPA calculator.

The GPA calculator is a U of T-wide tool that allows you to estimate your GPA (Grade Point Average) for the current or upcoming academic sessions. This tool should be used for planning purposes only; refer to your Academic History page in ACORN for your official GPA calculations.

Using the GPA Calculator, you can:

• Calculate your CGPA, SGPA and AGPA
• Use your current CGPA from ACORN to speed up your calculations
• See your GPA calculations update in real-time
• Explore useful academic resources

You may want to calculate your GPA for the following reasons and more:

• Find out what your GPA will be at the end of the semester or year
• Determine whether you will make it into your program of study (POSt)
• Find out if you will graduate with distinction
• Learn which grades you will need to achieve to meet personal goals

Before starting, have your grades on hand for reference. Find them on the Academic History page in ACORN. When entering grades, include failed courses, and exclude transfer credits, extra (EXT), Credit/No Credit (CR/NCR) and Late Withdrawal (LWD) courses.

You can view tips for using the GPA Calculator by clicking the help icons beside the step one and step two headings.

Estimate Your CGPA

To estimate your Cumulative GPA (CGPA), enter your current Cumulative GPA and current number of credits earned from ACORN into Step 1 of the calculator. This step is optional; you can always enter all of your grades manually into the Academic Period containers, but this method is faster.

In this example, “Academic Period 1” will mean whichever session you are predicting your grades for. If your official CGPA from ACORN was calculated last Winter, and you are predicting courses for the current Fall/Winter session, Academic Period 1 will represent the Fall semester. You can also enter all of your Fall and Winter marks into Academic Period 1, or enter Fall marks in Academic Period 1 and Winter marks in Academic Period 2. It is up to you.

Next, enter anticipated grades for your courses in progress. Your Sessional and Cumulative GPAs will update immediately at the bottom of the Academic Period 1 container. Your CGPA calculation will take into account the “Current CGPA from ACORN” that you entered in Step 1. Your SGPA calculation will only take into account grades entered in Academic Period 1.

Estimate your SGPA

To estimate your Sessional GPA (GPA), enter current and anticipated grades for a single Fall or Winter or entire Summer session (this includes both sub-sessions) in Academic Period 1.

You do not need to add your Current CGPA from ACORN in Step 1 unless you want to see your potential CGPA at the same time.

Estimate Your AGPA

To calculate your Annual GPA (AGPA), enter current and anticipated grades for the Fall session in Academic Period 1 and the Winter session in Academic Period 2. You will need to click the “Add Academic Period” button to open the second session.

You do not need to add your Current CGPA from ACORN in Step 1 unless you want to see your potential CGPA at the same time.

If you are including Y courses worth 1.0 credit courses: Include grades for these courses in Academic Period 2, as grades for these courses are calculated in the Winter term. On your Academic History in ACORN, for the Fall session these courses will have a grade of “IPR” (In Progress). If you enter Y courses in Academic Period 1 (Fall), your estimated AGPA will not be correct.

Tip: If you already know your Fall SGPA, enter it in Step 1 along with the number of credits you earned for the Fall, and enter your Winter grades in Academic Period 1. The calculated CGPA will actually be your AGPA.

As of Summer 2018, if you will be receiving Full-Time OSAP for the Summer or Fall/Winter sessions, you will be able to see an estimate for what you may need to pay U of T once your upcoming OSAP is applied against your tuition & fees (learn about eligibility for Full-Time OSAP).

This amount is called your “Net Cost”, and it will help you plan ahead and estimate how much in awards funding you may need to seek, or how much you may need to pay out of pocket.

Accessing Your Net Cost

If you will be receiving Full-Time OSAP payments for the upcoming session, you can access your Net Cost page from the ACORN Dashboard.

You can also go to Financial Account > Invoice & Net Cost via the left navigation, or click the “View Net Cost” button within the Financial Information card on your Financial Account page.

Understanding Your Net Cost

Your Invoice and Net Cost exist on the same page, and you can switch back and forth between them using the two tabs towards the top. Your Net Cost overview for the entire Fall-Winter session is displayed at the top of the page, and contains your tuition and fee charges, anticipated OSAP and received OSAP for the entire Fall-Winter session. Below, your Net Cost is broken down into the Fall and Winter terms individually, and you can find your tuition and fee breakdown and estimated and received OSAP for each term.

For specific definitions of each field, you can hover over an amount—or tap it on mobile—to see more information about it.

Why You May Not See Your Net Cost

If you see a message like the ones above, it means you cannot see your Net Cost information due to one of the following reasons:

• You are not eligible for Full-Time OSAP
• You are receiving or are eligible only for Part-Time OSAP
• You are not eligible for OSAP for the upcoming term
• You applied for OSAP but your application has been closed

In these cases, unfortunately ACORN cannot display your Net Cost because it does not have an OSAP funding estimate.

Getting Help & More Information

Who to Contact for Help

• For OSAP help, visit the OSAP website. If you still need help, contact osap.staff@utoronto.ca
• For questions about your invoice or charges, contact Student Accounts via ACORN’s Help & Contact form

Net Cost
Your actual Net Cost may vary if the information used to calculate your OSAP assessment is updated.

OSAP
Your Anticipated OSAP is the amount of assistance that OSAP will send directly to the University of Toronto to apply to your tuition and other fees, and is based on your most recent OSAP assessment. If you do not register in the program or course load you indicated on your OSAP application, your eligibility for this assistance may change.

If your Anticipated and Received OSAP amounts are less than your total OSAP funding, OSAP will deposit the difference directly to your bank account. Log in to your OSAP account for the current status of your grants and loans.

There are circumstances where grants provided through OSAP may be converted into OSAP student loans. OSAP grants reflected in your net cost do not include the Ontario Living and Learning Grant (for Crown Wards only).

The financial planning calculator is an exploratory tool that anyone can use, from high school students to family members to prospective and current U of T students in any program or division. Use it to plan your upcoming year and get a idea of what it costs to study at U of T so there are no surprises.

Before you begin, you should have a general idea of what you will be studying during the upcoming academic year and what your income and savings will be from all sources. This can include summer job savings, expected job earnings for the upcoming academic year or any financial assistance and awards you have received or expect to receive.

1. To begin, go to the Financial Planning Calculator and click ‘Start Planning’.
   
2. Provide background information by selecting options that currently apply to you, or if you are exploring your options, simply select which options you think apply to you. You can always change them later to see how your expenses will change. Click ‘Continue’ to proceed to the Estimated Expenses section.
   
3. Estimate your various sources of income to the best of your ability. The more accurate your income estimates are, the more accurate our calculations and financial recommendations will be. If you have no income to enter for a particular field, you may leave it blank. If you want more information about what belongs in each expenses field, hover over (or tap, on a mobile device) the label you are curious about. Click ‘Continue’ to proceed to step 3.
4. Based on the background information you provide, we calculate expense estimates for your upcoming academic year. We use educated estimates and calculated averages for many of these values, but feel free to change them to represent your individual situation more accurately. To see information about how each estimate was calculated, hover over (or tap) the label you are curious about. Click ‘Continue’ to proceed to the Summary page.
   
5. On the Budget Summary page, you will see a graph displaying your income, expenses and a third bar indicating whether you are projected to be in a budget deficit or surplus.
   
6. Below the graph you will find a list of personalized resources and next steps that you can take to find ways to save money or receive more financial support, depending on your situation. If you have a budget deficit, these resources will give you a few approaches to getting back on track.
   
7. Want to see what it would cost to switch programs? Live away from home or on campus? Eat out at restaurants a little less and cook more? Use the “Jump to Step” menu to go back and change the information on the form.
   
8. If you change any of your initial inputs, click ‘Recalculate Budget’ and you will be taken to the Budget Summary page with an updated budget summary and set of resources reflecting your changes.

A Confirmation of Enrolment letter is an official document that can be used to verify your status as a student at U of T. If your faculty allows students to generate letters via ACORN and you are currently registered or invited to register in a current or upcoming session, you can download a Confirmation of Enrolment letter in PDF format via ACORN by visiting the Transcripts & Enrolment Confirmation page. If your faculty does not provide these letters via ACORN, please contact your registrar to get one.

This letter is useful for the following purposes, among others:

• Study permits and Visa applications
• Banking, including some RESPs
• Insurance and benefit plans

Before you download your letter, you may customize the following information that it will contain:

• Include registration information for either the current or upcoming session that you are Registered or Invited for
• Include or exclude your full-time or part-time status
• Include and indicate your intended graduation date, or exclude it*

* The Confirmation of Enrolment letter will only allow you to select an intended graduation date if you are a full-time student, and if ACORN has enough information to reasonably predict your graduation date. If you require an intended graduation date on your letter and do not see the option, or if this letter otherwise does not suit your needs, please request a custom letter from your registrar).

1. From the ACORN Dashboard, go to the “Transcript & Enrolment Confirmation” page via ACORN’s left navigation.

If you are Invited or Registered for both the current and upcoming sessions, you will have the option to select the session for which you want the letter to confirm your enrolment.
   If you are Invited or Registered for only one session, you will not have the option to choose.
4. Next, select whether you want your full-time or part-time status to appear in the letter. Your current status for the indicated session will be used.
   
5. If you are a full-time student or if ACORN has enough information to reasonably predict your graduation date, you will have the option to include or exclude this date. If you select “Yes”, choose the month and year that you intend to graduate.

Accommodated Testing Services coordinates on-campus and online assessment accommodations for students with disabilities who are enrolled in courses offered on the St. George Campus. You can learn more about Accommodated Testing Services here.  

For more information on making a request for accommodated tests outside of the ATS Exam Period and navigating your accommodated bookings dashboard see How do I Make a Request for an Accommodated Test?

To view a walkthrough on creating a booking for an assessment during the ATS Exam Period, see Accommodated Testing Services – How to Request an Accommodated Test During the ATS Exam Period.

1. After navigating to the Accommodated Testing Services page, you can select the “Request Accommodated Testing” button, where you will be asked a few questions in order to complete your booking request. 
    
   The first question asks when the assessment for which you are making the request will be written. In this example, if the assessment is written during the ATS Exam Period which is between April 11 – April 29 then you will select the second option, “Assessment written during the ATS Exam Period (April 11 – April 29)”. If the assessment will be written outside of this period, then select the first option, “Assessment written during the Term Period (January 2 – April 10)”.  
    
   You will only be able to make bookings for assessments written during the ATS Exam Period for a limited time using ACORN. For this example, it is between March 6 – March 17. If you miss the deadline on March 17, then you will have to submit a late request using the Alternate Registration Form.
    
2. Once you have selected the assessment period, “Assessment written during the ATS Exam Period” you will be asked to select the course which you are making the booking for. 
   1.  If you have selected a course that does not have any scheduled assessments available, then you must submit your request using the Alternate Registration form.
      
   2. However, if your selected course has scheduled assessments, then you can choose from the dropdown list. For this example, there are two scheduled assessments available: a Standard Test and Standard Exam.  
   3. If there is no location in the option as seen in ”Standard Test”, you must state whether your instructor has indicated that you must complete this assessment in person.

      

3. After you complete the assessment writing location questions or if you selected an assessment with a location that is included, for e.g., as shown in the dropdown option for “Standard Exam” in the screenshot above, then from here you can review your assessment details, including the Class Writing Date, Time, Time Limit and Location.
4. After reviewing your assessment details, you can review your accommodations and submit your request by clicking “Submit Request”. If you have any optional accommodations you can opt in for or opt out of this request by clicking on the checkbox.

Accommodated Testing Services coordinates on-campus and online assessment accommodations for students with disabilities who are enrolled in courses offered on the St. George Campus. You can learn more about Accommodated Testing Services here.

1. From the ACORN dashboard, click Accommodated Testing Services under the Academics section of the left-hand navigation menu.
   
2. On the Accommodated Testing Services (ATS) page, you can read an introduction about ATS which includes eligibility requirements. If you would like to make requests for U of T Scarborough or U of T Mississauga, you can click on the links provided which will redirect you to the appropriate pages. If you do meet the eligibility requirements, you can click on the “Continue” button to proceed to the next steps which include requesting an accommodated test and viewing your bookings dashboard.
   1. If you are already registered with Accessibility Services, approved to write quizzes, tests or exams with accommodations and are also registered with Accommodated Testing Services, then you will be able to request to write on-campus or online accommodated tests and quizzes for St. George campus courses by clicking on the “Request Accommodated Testing” button. If you would like to make a request that is late a request, for a deferred assessment, a program qualification, or for a course that you did not enrol in via ACORN, then you will need to submit your request via the Alternate Registration Form.
   2. If you are not registered with Accessibility Services or do not yet have approved accommodations, then you will not be able to proceed with making a request or view your bookings dashboard.
      
      
3. After you click on the “Request Accommodated Testing” button, you will be asked to complete the form. Keep in mind, this form asks for information about the assessment writing details for the class and not for your requested accommodated details. The first part requires you to complete information about the type of request and activity that you are making the request for. This includes selecting the type of request, choosing a course from your list of registered courses for the current session and selecting whether your instructor has indicated that this assessment must be written in person or not.
   1. Keep in mind the first part of this question is asking where your instructor said you and your class must write this assessment and not where you would like to write it.
      If you have selected a standard assessment and your instructor indicated you must complete this assessment ‘in person, on campus’, then you will be required to write this assessment in person with Accommodated Testing Services (ATS). If your instructor did not indicate that this assessment must be written in person, then you can choose whether you would like to write it in person with Accommodated Testing Services (ATS), or at home or elsewhere.
   2. The next section of the form will ask you to enter the writing details of the assessment including date, time and duration. Please note, if you have selected a Makeup Assessment, then you will be required to enter the date, time and duration the instructor indicated you must write this assessment.
      1. If you have selected a Standard Assessment then enter the details that the instructor has indicated for you and your class.
         Keep in mind these questions are asking you to enter the class writing details for Standard Assessments or details arranged by the instructor for Makeup Assessments and not when you would like to write this assessment.
         E.g., My instructor indicated that I have an in-person assessment on September 14th at 2:00pm for a duration of 2 hours. You will enter the following for this scenario:
         Class Writing Date: September 7th
         Class Writing Time: 2:00pm
         Class Writing Time Limit: 2 hours
      2. Also, if your assessment takes place over the course of multiple dates, i.e., has an end date that is different from the start date, then only enter the start date and time for when this assessment will become available.
         E.g., My instructor indicated that I have an online assessment that will be available between September 14th at 9:00am to September 16th at 11:59pm. I can write this assessment anytime within that time period but once I start this assessment then I have 3 hours to complete it.  You will enter the following for this scenario:
         Class Writing Date: September 14th
         Class Writing Time: 9:00am
         Class Writing Time Limit: 3 hours
      3. Additionally, only enter the duration of the assessment and not the period for when this assessment is available. For example, do not enter 48 hours, in the “Class Writing Time Limit” section for an assessment that has a 2-day availability period.
         E.g., My instructor indicated that I have an online assessment that will be available between September 14th from 9:00am to September 16th at 11:59pm . I can choose to complete this assessment any time within that period and there is no time limit. You will enter the following for this scenario:
         Class Writing Date: September 14th
         Class Writing Time: 9:00am
         Class Writing Time Limit: the time you think it will take to complete this assessment (up to 23 hours and 59 mins).
         
         
   3. After completing this information, you can review your accommodations and submit your request by clicking “Submit Request”. If you have any optional accommodations, then you can opt in or out for this request by clicking on the checkbox.
      
   4. If your accommodated testing request was created successfully, you will receive a success notice at the top-right corner of your screen. You can now submit another request or navigate to your bookings dashboard.
   5. If you are making another request for a booking that you have previously made, then you will receive an error message instead. Please follow the instructions in the error message.
4. If your booking is successful and you return to your dashboard, then you can see your upcoming, past or cancelled bookings in the table by clicking through the different tabs. To see more options for your booking you can click on the settings icon.
   
   1. You can review the details of your booking request by clicking “Review”.
      
      
   2. If you would like details on how to cancel your booking request, then click “Cancel” and follow the instructions.
