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.
Appointments can be scheduled by calling the office or visiting during office hours. You can meet one-on-one either In person, via Microsoft Teams, or by phone. Let us know your preferred format when booking. If you need accommodations for an in-person appointment (e.g., mobility or accessibility support), please notify us in advance. All appointments are confidential.
Weekly virtual drop-in advising is also available. See below accordion for more details.

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.
