We normally don't allow students to join a course without having the required prerequisite(s) (except for some first year courses). Joining a course without a prerequisite means that you probably won't have the necessary background and knowledge needed to complete the course successfully.
However, if you feel that you do have the required background (e.g., from a course taken at another institution), you can request a waiver, by completing an online Prerequisite Waiver Request Form at the time you have enrolled in the course and by no later than the first day of classes. Please see the links below to find the specific form for the subject area. Kindly submit one form per course. You will need to submit the form using your @mail.utoronto.ca email address.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT St. George MAT or STA courses:
Please note the forms below are only to be used for U of T Mississauga courses offered by the UTM Mathematical & Computational Sciences Department.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: The first day of classes for the Summer 2023 F & Y courses is May 8, 2023. For Summer F & Y courses, forms will only be accepted until 11:45 p.m. on May 14, 2023.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Courses with only high school prerequisites (like MAT102H5, first-year calculus courses, or MAT223H5) do not require a prerequisite waiver form. We do not check high school prerequisites for these courses.
