Advising & Registrarial Services
The Academic Advising & Registrar's Office (AARO) at University College is your reliable first stop for any information or advice you may need as a UC student during your studies at the University of Toronto. We provide academic, financial, and general advising to all UC students.
Our academic advisors are committed to helping students make choices that will lead to their academic success. An academic advisor can assist you with:
- Reviewing academic progress and standing;
- Addressing issues that affect your academic performance;
- Establishing goals and planning for the future;
- Exploring program options;
- Selecting appropriate classes and electives;
- Understanding academic rules and regulations; and
- Providing information on additional support services.
Advisors in the Academic Advising & Registrar's Office meet one-on-one with students for scheduled advising appointments in person, via Microsoft Teams, or via phone. To book an appointment with an advisor, please visit or phone our office during business hours and speak with a Front Line Advisor. Drop-in express advising services are also available (see below).
-
Front Line Advising
Front line advisors are available to assist you with many of your academic questions. Typically, your questions can be answered at the front desk without having to initiate an academic advising appointment. You can also speak with a front line advisor by calling the Academic Advising & Registrar's Office at 416-978-3170.
In the event that your circumstance cannot be resolved by a front line advisor, we will book you an appointment or offer you an opportunity to join a drop-in advising session.
