Understanding Enrolment & Registration
Enrolment:
-
- The process of choosing and signing up for courses on the University of Toronto Student Web Service, also known as ACORN.
- You will need to log into ACORN with your UTORid and password.
Registration:
-
- A student is only considered “registered” once they have made minimum tuition payment.
- Students are able to enroll into courses without making tuition payment first. Course enrolment start date is typically late July, and minimum payment is typically due late August.
- However, to keep all the courses you have enrolled into, tuition fees need to be received by the University prior to classes starting.
- The Minimum Payment to Register for Fall & Winter is: Arrears + 100% of Fall tuition fees.
- Please review this page for information on how and when to make tuition payments.

Adding Courses
ACORN has been updated with Fall and Winter 2022/23 courses. Tentative Fall 2022 / Winter 2023 timetables have been made available on our Course Timetables page. You should always make it a habit to check regularly for any updates!
