Enrolment

Course enrolment takes place in the two weeks before classes begin. Students should consult with the Graduate Coordinator, Professor Alison Smith, before enrolling in courses. Professor Smith's office at CERES is located at 121N, the Munk School of Global Affairs. Her email is alison.smith@utoronto.ca. To make an appointment to talk with Dr. Smith, please go through your Google account at Google calendar.

Students may make changes to their course selection until early October. All changes must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator.

Students are reminded of the program requirements: requirements.htm.

Please see Appendix 5 for more detailed instructions on how to enroll for courses through ROSI (Student Web Services).

Please note that there is no ERE major as such; the courses listed under ERE count towards program requirements in the disciplines such as history and political science.

Please note that some seminars, especially in History, are heavily enrolled. It is important that you contact the professor (via sponsoring department) in the course before or at the very beginning of the registration period and express your interest in taking her/his course. It is not possible for participating departments to guarantee places in their seminars for CERES students who enroll late in the registration period.

Courses with a "Y" suffix are full year, full credit courses, which run from September to April. Half year and half credit courses with an "F" suffix are taught in the fall term, those with an "S" suffix in spring.

The list that follows represents the relevant graduate curriculum of each participating department for the academic year 2011/12. Courses to be taught in subsequent years are determined by each department's Program Committee. The list of courses each department will offer as of September will be available at the Centre in July/August at http://www.utoronto.ca/ceres/handbook/descriptions.htm. For the last minute changes in course offerings please check websites of the participating departments:

• Anthropology
• Comparative Literature
• Centre of Criminology
• Germanic Languages and Literatures
• History
• Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations
• Political Science: Fall/Winter; Summer
• Slavic Languages and Literatures
  
• Sociology
  

Two kinds of exceptions from the courses listed will be considered upon petition by the student:

• A student may be permitted to take one course or the equivalent which is in his/her major discipline but not in the European, Russian, or Eurasian area. For example, a course on international relations or economic planning may be permitted. This course will be in addition to the two 'major' courses, or the equivalent, which deal with Europe, Russia, or Eurasia. This option may be of particular appeal to students intending to go on to PhD study in the given discipline.
  
  
• Students may be allowed to take one course or the equivalent in the form of an approved undergraduate course at the advanced level, i.e., with a 300 or 400 Faculty of Arts and Sciences number. This option is reserved for students requiring basic preparation in their chosen subject.
