Re: Memo to the UTM Academic Community on 2025–2026 Fall/Winter Course Offering Submissions
The course offering submission tool for 2025–2026 fall and winter semesters will be opening on Thursday, January 26, 2025. Course offering submissions are due on Thursday, February 6, 2025 by 10:00 am.
This memo contains detailed information on and timelines for course offering submissions, as well as instructions for entering information in the timetable collection tool. If any academic units need to update their administrative access to the course offering submission tool, they should contact Senior Programmer & Analyst, I&ITS Johnny Chung at jmh.chung@utoronto.ca.
Important details about fall and winter course offerings
- To maximize student options and make the most efficient use of classrooms, academic units are strongly encouraged to adhere to the following standard start times:
- Two-hour lectures: 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm, or 5:00 pm
- Three-hour lectures: 9:00 am, 12:00 pm
- If the same classroom is required for lecture meetings that occur on different days, please note this request in the timeline collection tool.
- If a lecture (LEC) and tutorial (TUT) are being taught back-to-back by the same instructor, please indicate this on the timeline collection to ensure the same classroom is used
- Online courses that are running all components online (SYNC or ASYNC) will not be assigned a classroom
- For courses with hybrid delivery, please provide details on the rational and how the in-person and online components are to be delivered (e.g., LEC are all ASYNC, TUT are 50% in-person and 50% online). This will assist in determining classroom booking needs.
