Program Admission and Summer Enrolment FAQs
From March 3 – April 25, you can request your choice of Rotman Commerce specialist on ACORN by selecting one of the following under ‘Enrol & Manage > Programs’:
- Accounting – ASSPE2676
- Finance & Economics – ASSPE2038
- Management – ASSPE2431
*Do not choose a program code that ends in “X”.
If you are still unsure what specialist to choose, make a request. You have the ability to switch your specialist later.
Beginning March 3rd, you can also add other programs that you may be interested in, such as an Economics minor or a different program. Please review information in the Program Toolkit to learn how to add other programs.
Upon successful completion of the Guaranteed Admission requirements, you will be “Invited” on ACORN to the specialist you requested. You will need to “Accept” the invitation in order to be officially enrolled in Rotman Commerce. For more information on this process, see: Enrolling in a Specialist.
Yes. Once you are active in your specialist program, you can switch your specialist directly on ACORN between the months of March-September (with exact dates listed in the Program Toolkit). To switch your specialist, please follow the directions in this Switching Programs video. If you have any questions about specialist progression or course planning, be sure to speak with an academic advisor.
There are 3 different time periods to complete your GA requirements:
| Timeline of GA Completion | “Invited” status available on ACORN: | Accept invitation on ACORN and enrol by: |
| End of April | May-June | Mid-June |
| Summer (F – Section) | Early July | Early July |
| Summer (Y and S – Section) | Late August – Early September *Depending on when grades get released | Late August – Early September |
Yes. Summer school registration opens in March, which is when you can sign up for courses. Remember, in order to complete your summer registration, your fees are due by the tuition fee payment/deferral deadline shown in the Academic Dates and Deadlines.
If you discover that you have met the GA requirements when your marks are posted in late April/early May, you can cancel your summer course before the 100% refund deadline to get a full tuition refund (though system access fees may apply). Refund schedules are posted on the Student Accounts website.
If you are planning on taking courses during the summer, please review the Timetable Builder and enrolment instructions. You are limited to 1.0 credits per semester in the summer (maximum 2.0 credits for summer), and should prioritize your efforts and attention on any incomplete GA courses.
You will be permitted to take upper-year RSM courses only if you have met all the Guaranteed Admission requirements by the end of April.
If you do not think you will be able to successfully meet your GA requirements by the end of Summer session, set up an appointment with an academic advisor on the RC Portal to discuss your situation. The earlier you meet with an RC academic advisor to discuss your situation, the sooner you can have clarity going forward.
