RE: SGS Sessional Dates 2010-2011 and Policy on Scheduling
of Classes and Examinations and Other Accommodations for
Religious Observances
The School of Graduate Studies has circulated Sessional Dates for 2010/2011. Please refer to SGS Memorandum #007, 2009-2010
It has come to our attention that due to the timing of Rosh Hashanah that the first day of classes in the Faculty of Arts & Science will be Monday September 13th, 2010.
The SGS Orientation will be held on Tuesday September 7th, 2010 and therefore graduate classes may begin from Wednesday September 8th.
Please keep in mind, however, that University policy requires that the first day of classes in the September session in all teaching divisions should not be scheduled on the first and second days of Rosh Hashanah (from 1 1/2 hours before sunset on Wednesday, September 8 to about 1 1/2 hours after sunset on Friday, September 10) or on Yom Kippur (from about 1 1/2 hours before sunset on Friday, September 17 to about 1 1/2 hours after sunset on Sunday, September 19).
For more information about the University's Policy on Scheduling of Classes and Examinations and Other Accommodations for Religious Observance, and other issues related to accommodation of religious observances, please see http://www.viceprovoststudents.utoronto.ca/publicationsandpolicies/guidelines.htm
The SGS Sessional dates provide flexibility to graduate units with regards to the start date of classes. Graduate classes may therefore be held on Wednesday September 8th (but not 1 1/2 hours before sunset ) or graduate units may decide to begin classes the week of September 13th.
Should you have any questions about SGS Sessional Dates, please contact the Director of Student Services, Heather Kelly at heather.kelly@utoronto.ca
