*

When an asterisk is used in conjunction with an enrolment indicator, not all enrolment controls listed are assigned the same number of spaces in a course. For example,
VIS201H1F section L0101 has an enrolment indicator of "P*" and enrolment controls of "All St. George campus VIS subject POSts." The course has 20 spaces in total. Of the 20, five may be assigned to Year 4 students enrolled in VIS subject POSts, five to Year 3 students enrolled in VIS subject POSts, and 10 to Year 2 students enrolled in VIS subject POSts. The division of spaces is in effect during the priority period in the St. George campus round of enrolment (from July 10 to August 7.) If the number of spaces in any category fills during this time, students will have the opportunity to join the waiting list for the course starting August 9.

NEW The priorities for asterisk (*) courses will be removed on August 14. Students who did not meet the initial enrolment controls will be able to enrol or join the waiting list on August 14. Waiting lists for students who meet the initial enrolment controls are available from August 9 to September 16, 2012 for F/Y section code courses, and to January 13, 2013 for S section code courses. For students who did not meet the initial enrolment controls, waiting lists are available from August 14 to September 16, 2012 for F/Y section code courses and to January 13, 2013 for S section code courses.
