Until Next TimeIt’s hard to believe that the academic year is almost over! We commend you for all of your hard work and achievements in the past eight months. We trust that your experiences this year, both in and out of the classroom, were memorable and productive. To our graduating students, congratulations on all of your accomplishments and efforts over the past several years, and we hope that your time at U of T Engineering has established lasting connections. To our returning students, we hope you spend the summer months pursuing rewarding experiences and return to studies in the fall with a fresh perspective and renewed enthusiasm for the new challenges ahead. Over the summer, the Office of the Registrar will offer post-exam student services such as exam viewing, summer course enrolment, and will send you all of the information you need to register for next year via email in July.
