Undergraduate students who are given permission to take a seminar at the graduate level offered through the Dept. of Psychology’s Graduate Program will be enrolled into one of these three course codes. Permission to take a graduate seminar for undergraduate credit must be obtained through three channels.
First, the instructor of the graduate course must give the student permission. It is ultimately up to instructor to decide whether the course is appropriate for undergraduate students, as well as if the specific student has the appropriate academic background to succeed in the course. Accordingly, the student may be asked to provide details about their relevant academic and/or research experience to assess their qualifications.
Second, the Graduate Administrator (psy.graduate@utoronto.ca) must confirm if there is space in the course after graduate students have enrolled.
Finally, the Undergraduate Administrators (psy.undergrad@utoronto.ca) must receive an email from the Graduate Administrator confirming that the student has permission to enrol. The following information must be included in the email: Student name, U of T student number, graduate course code and term (F or S), and the course subtitle. The student will then be enrolled into one of these undergraduate course codes by the Department. Please note that students will need to be granted access to the graduate course’s Quercus page manually by the instructor. Additionally, if the course is intended to count toward the student’s PSY program requirements, it may need to be added to Degree Explorer manually - please contact the Psychology Undergraduate Administrators to have this completed.
Generally, first-time students will be enrolled into PSY402H1, and any further graduate seminars taken will be enrolled as PSY403H1, then PSY404H1. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the graduate instructor to initiate this process and to follow-up with both the Graduate and Undergraduate Administrators to ensure their enrolment.
