Registration Instructions & Attendance Policies
Please note: Spaces in courses are limited. Do not register unless you will be able to attend all classes of the course. Students who register and do not attend the full course will be ineligible to take other courses with the GCAC during next year’s terms. Students may register for a maximum of two GCAC courses per academic session. Students who do not comply with this registration policy will be disenrolled from excess courses at GCAC’s discretion, and may be removed from all GCAC courses.
Registration Instructions
1. Click the registration link on our Current Term’s Courses page. Login to Folio using your UTORid and password.
2. Under ‘Attendance Policy’, review the terms and click ‘Acknowledge’ to mark the section as complete.
3. Under ‘Submit Course Selection’, click the link to be taken to the course selection form.
4. Select up to two courses you are interested in, having read their descriptions and timing. Click ‘Submit’ and then ‘Continue’ when ready.
5. Under ‘Confirm Your Schedule’, “book in” to the course(s) you have chosen using the links under each course title.
6. Per chosen course, you will be able to select available sections, with different dates, times, and delivery methods (online or in-person.)
7. Once successfully registered to a course, you will receive a confirmation email. If a course is at capacity, you can join its waitlist.
Dropping a Course/Removal from Waitlist
If you wish to drop a course or remove yourself from a waitlist before the first class, please manage your booking with the course Folio link provided in your confirmation email. If you wish to drop a course after the first class, please notify your instructor within 48 hours to allow someone from the waitlist to be admitted.
Attendance Policies
As our courses are in heavy demand, we ask that you register for a course only if you are sure you can complete it. We have implemented the following attendance policies out of respect for the many students who wish to take our courses but cannot get in:
1. Attendance is mandatory.
2. Students who register and miss classes (including students who register for a course but never attend) will be blocked from registering in the first session of the next term.
3. In order to avoid penalty, students must notify their instructor with a valid reason for an absence before class.
4. Students can drop a course before it starts without penalty. Those wishing to drop a course after the first class must notify the course instructor.
5. Since demand for our courses exceeds supply, we request that students take any given course only once a year, with the exception of the proposal writing courses which may be taken in both the Spring and the Fall.
