Post-Registration InformationIntroduction and General Information

As per University policy on ancillary fees, the University,through its operating budget, is responsible for the deliveryof an academic program, but the students are expectedto purchase the additional materials required for theprogram. As far as possible, most of the compulsory feesrelated to course material, class notes, field trips, etc, willbe collected on your fees invoice prior to the field trips, orbefore the beginning of the relevant class.

The Daniels Faculty has recently completed a two-yearprocess of curriculum discussions, and I am happy toannounce that we have been approved to introduceseveral minor improvements this year. In particular,these are occurring in Visual Communication and Thesis.For example, core VC courses will occur in a workshopformat and will be concentrated during the weeks ofSeptember 12 16 and October 24 28. In the followingyear, we will be rolling out improvements in our History

& Theory sequence and the Technical course stream, tocomplement recent hires in this respect. We have alsoexplored opportunistic partnerships with the MLA andMUD sequence, which we will begin to incorporate into ourcore curriculum.

At a public level, we will continue to offer an impressiveslate of public programs, consisting of public fora,lectures, midday talks, and exhibitions. Also we will beexpanding and building on the successes of both theGlobal Architecture and PEP program this year. Theseopportunities and events are unique to our Faculty, andremain an essential and key aspect of your educationas an architect. Our series of Fall Thesis students will be

Mason WhiteDirector, Master of Architecture Program

Daniels offers two degree options in the Master ofArchitecture (MArch): a first professional program and apost-professional option.

The professional Master of Architecture is a rigorous andcomprehensive program, preparing graduates for the fullrange of activities in architecture. It provides a thoroughbase of knowledge in history, theory, technology, ecology,society, and professional practice, while developing skillsin design through an intensive sequence of design studiocourses. There are five streams: Design (8 courses), VisualCommunication (2 courses), History & Theory (2 courses),Technics & Planning (7 courses), and Professional Practice(2 courses). Studios are supported by courses in visualcommunication, architectural representation, and newmedia. Students are encouraged to use their electives toexplore a specialization in preparation for their designthesis. The program aims to develop critical, creative,

and independent thinking and research that responds tocurrent design issues and societal change. The greaterToronto region is used as an urban laboratory for thepursuit of new knowledge and new forms of practice.

The post-professional Master of Architecture is anadvanced design and research option for individualsalready holding a professional degree in architecture.This option provides a challenging and rigorous forum forthose wishing to extend and focus their previous educationin architecture. It seeks a diverse range of applicants,particularly those holding the promise of professional andacademic leadership.

Successful applicants declare a specific research interestand structure an integrated course of study that includesoption studios, seminars, electives, and independent studyprojects. The program culminates in a thesis project thatcan be either design or research oriented. Students workclosely with faculty advisors with expertise in their areaof research, and gain insight from leading practitioners,theorists, and guest critics. In the last four years, visitingprofessors and critics to Daniels have included: EricBunge/nARCHITECTS, Mithcell Joachim, Keller Easterling,Merrill Elam, Siamak Hariri, Bruce Kuwabara, Diane Lewis,Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, Michael Sorkin, StephenTeeple, Nader Tehrani, Anthony Vidler, Sarah Whiting, andmany others.

Students in the post-professional MArch may alsoenhance their studies through participation in DanielsGlobal Architecture and Professional Experienceprograms. Daniels provides an exceptional professionaland intellectual locus for the exploration of essentialtopics in contemporary architecture.

In terms of technical skills: this is agood time to sharpen or advance your skills in digitaldrawing and visualization programs such as AutoCadand Rhinoceros, along with Photoshop, Illustrator andInDesign. In terms of reading: reverberating throughout

the Master of Urban Design program is of course thesubject of the city, with Toronto figuring largely within thecurriculum particularly in the first term. In preparation,we recommend The Shape of the City: Toronto Struggleswith Modern Planningby John Sewell. And while you willhave a suggested reading list in your first urban designstudio, Urban Design, edited by Alex Krieger and WilliamS. Saunders discusses, through a series of essays, theemergence of urban design as well as the current state ofthe field.

I look forward to seeing you all very soon. Please feel freeto contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

The Master of Urban Design (MUD) program preparesarchitects and landscape architects for design-basedresearch and professional practice at the urban andregional scales.

The MUD curriculum capitalizes on the wealth of resourcesat the University of Toronto to establish interdisciplinaryand inter-professional collaboration, initiating forms ofresearch and practice that are suited to the breadth ofurban design. The program also draws on the largest poolof expertise and talent in Canada by involving leadingfigures of the Toronto urban design community in teaching,external reviews, and special events.

The MUD program is committed to design as a primarymedium of operation and research, in a broad intellectualframework that includes geography, environmentalstudies, social sciences, media studies, economics, and

engineering. It aims for responsible and creative design inthe context of the post-metropolis, with attention to newparadigms of urbanization, global economic restructuring,and information technology. The program emphasizesa coherent intellectual approach that is committed toanalysis and critique and seeks to become the centralCanadian forum for advanced research, design innovation,scholarship, criticism, and debate in urban design.

Students entering final term of the graduate program:

The length of the program into which a student is admittedpre-determines the minimum total academic fee that astudent must pay prior to graduation.

Students who undertake their studies on a part-timebasis are required to pay at least the same amount oftuition for their degree as a full-time student. Many part-time students must pay a balance of degree fee prior tograduation.

Full-time students who accelerate their programs andfinish the degree requirements in less time than thenormal program length must also pay a balance of degreefee.

At the time of graduation the balance of degree fee is

calculated by subtracting the total minimum academicfees paid by the student from the program fee.

If a student has paid more than the full-time program feedue to the time taken to complete the degree requirementsthere will be no refund of fees.

Please visit the SGS website for more information:http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/informationfor/students/money/Fees.htm#Balance of Degree Fees

INFORMATION ON COURSEENROLMENTGraduate students in the John H. Daniels Faculty ofArchitecture, Landscape, and Design are able to accessthe student web service to change personal information(addresses and telephone numbers), view their academicrecord and current courses and to enrol in, request or dropcourses.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Student Responsibility

While academic advisors, faculty and staff are availableto assist and advise, it is ultimately the studentsresponsibility to keep personal and academic informationup to date at all times and to follow all University, SGS,departmental and program regulations, requirementsand deadlines. The student web service makes it easierfor students to check and correct this information. If

questions arise about requirements, policies andprocedures, students are responsible for seeking answersfor these questions from staff and advisors.

Note: the Faculty and other university offices may sendimportant information to you by email. Please make surethat your email address, your mailing/permanent addressand telephone number are up to date at all times. UnderUniversity policy, students are required to maintain aUniversity based email account (e.g., UTOR, ECF, CHASS,OISE), record it in ROSI, and regularly check for messages.That account may be forwarded to another personalaccount but it is the University account to which theUniversity will send official correspondence. New students

are advised to validate their UTORID at the UniversityLibrary early. The UTORID provides access not only tothe @utoronto.ca email account but also to Blackboard,the Universitys student portal and learning managementsystem. Many courses use the portal to provide onlinematerials, discussion groups, quizzes etc. It is also usedby the University and various student groups to makeimportant announcements and administer elections.

Declaration

Use of the SWS to enrol in courses means that you agreeto abide by all of the academic and non-academic rulesand regulations of the University, the School of Graduate

Studies and graduate unit in which you are registered,and assume the obligation to pay academic and incidentalfees according to the policies and requirements of theUniversity of Toronto. You normally use the SWS to addor cancel courses. If, for extraordinary reasons, you areunable to use the SWS contact your graduate unit as soonas possible.

Users of the Student Web Service are expected to beresponsible when using the SWS and should not attemptto flood the system with requests, or to automate the

process of course enrolment. Such activity may clog thesystem so that other students may be denied accessor experience degraded performance. Any student(s)attempting such activity may be denied access to the SWSuntil after the relevant registration period.

Personal Identification Number

Each time a student accesses ROSI via the web a personalidentification is required in addition to a student number.The first time the system is accessed this will be derivedfrom the students date of birth (format YYYYMMDD).However, at that point the student will be required tochange the PIN. Subsequent access to the system willrequire this new number which should be known onlyto the student. The PIN and student number togetherconstitute an electronic signature. Never give your PINor student number to someone else.

Forgotten PIN numbers can be reset by the graduate office.To avoid having to contact the office in person or having towait for office hours, students can enter answers to a setof questions on the SWS. When they first access the ROSI,the SWS will prompt students to choose three questionsfrom a list. If at a later date the student forgets the PIN,the PIN can be reset online if two of the three questionsare answered correctly.

Services Available
