Subject POSt Enrolment
Enrolment in a Subject POSt (program of study) begins in early April and ends in September of each year. There are three types of programs - Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3. The Psychology minor, major and specialist programs are Type 2 Subject POSts, which means that certain requirements must be met for admittance to the program. For Type 2 programs, there are two rounds of enrolment. The first round of enrolment runs from early April to mid-May, with invitations issued by late June. The second round of Type 2 Subject POSt enrolment runs from early July to late August, with invitations issued in early September. For more information on how to enrol in the program(s) of your choice, visit the Arts & Science website at http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/undergraduate/subject-post-enrolment .

First Year Seminar Course
Arts and Science offers new first year students the opportunity to participate in small seminar classes where they can participate actively in academic discussions. These full-year courses help to develop strong written, oral, and teamwork skills. More information on these courses is available on here on the Arts & Science web site.
Research Opportunity Program (ROP299)
The ROP provides second year students with the opportunity to work closely with a professor on a research project. This work counts as a full-year credit course (299Y). The Psychology Department offers a number of ROPs that are administered through the ROP Office within the Faculty of Arts and Science. The deadline for application is in March prior to the course start date in September.
