This enrolment limit should align with other supervised research courses (i.e., PHYD01H3), which are: Enrolment Control A: Supervised Study/Research & Independent Study Courses In order to qualify for a Supervised Study course, students must locate a professor who will agree to supervise the course, and then follow the steps outlined below. Step 1: Request the course on ACORN. Your status will be INT. You will not be officially enrolled until you complete the remaining steps. Step 2: Fill the 'Student' section on a 'Supervised Study Form' available at: https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/registrar/supervised-study-form. Step 3: Once you fill-in the 'Student' section, contact your Supervisor and provide them with the form. Your supervisor will complete their section and forward the form for departmental approval. Step 4: Once the project is approved at the departmental level, the form will be submitted to the Registrar's Office and your status on ACORN will be updated from interim (INT) to approved (APP).
