Advisors are assigned to new students in the Summer and are generally available to meet individually and in scheduled groups starting in September. Students who have accessibility needs should inform the Registrar as soon as possible after being accepted into the M.S.W. Program so that any special arrangements can be in place by September.
Students entering the M.S.W. Program with Advanced Standing and students moving into Year Two of the Two Year M.S.W. Program will be invited to an overview session in April. This is the time when you become familiar with practicum opportunities and to identify practicum options related to your specialization. Practicum placement decisions are send out in June.
Students are requested to enroll in courses through the Web (ROSI www.rosi.utoronto.ca ) on a first come first served basis beginning in June. Students who are denied access to a course should select an alternate choice. Students will be notified if enrollment limits are raised or if a course is cancelled because of low enrollment. If you need to pick-up a course or wish to receive advice in making course changes contact your faculty advisor or Registrar. You can change courses after classes begin, through the second week of class, if space is available in the course.
Request for Reading and/or Research Course - this designation refers to a course which is intended to meet particular needs or interests and is not available in other graduate courses offered at the University. It may include either a student meeting individually with an instructor for independent study or can be offered as a special studies course on a specific topic not covered in other approved courses at the Faculty. We encourage student initiative in identifying the need for this type of course. Reading and Research courses are limited by faculty resources and time constraints of potential instructors. Students are requested to contact instructors directly. A reading course that is individually developed, with one or a few students within the Faculty should involve as much reading and written work as a regular course, and the frequency of meetings with the instructor should be consistent with other courses. The instructor must hold an appointment to the Graduate Faculty at Social Work. Course instructors (Ph.D. students) and sessional instructors cannot supervise a directed reading course. A maximum of two 0.5 credit courses will be accepted toward degree requirements. Students enrol by completing a SGS Request for Reading and/or Research Course form and by adding the Directed Reading Course number on a SGS Request to Add/Drop Course(s) form: Course number: SWK4801H Special Studies1 or SWK4802H Special Studies 2. The form is located on the SGS website: www.sgs.utoronto.ca Under Resources select Forms for Students. Submit the completed forms with instructor and coordinator signatures to the Social Work Faculty registrar, Rm 252 for processing before the SGS deadline to add courses in a session.
