Taking a graduate economics course

If you would like to take a graduate economics course and are a graduate student at the University of Toronto outside the Economics department, you need to get the approval of your home department, the instructor in the course [unless you are a Rotman student], and us. Please note that approval is not automatic. We will approve requests only if your background is sufficient to take the course, we have room in the course, and the instructor of the course agrees to accept you. Here is the process.
  • Complete a Course Add/Drop form.
  • Get the Graduate Administrator/Director in your home department to sign the form.
  • Obtain the permission of the instructor of the course. If they approve your taking the course, get them to sign the form. [This step is not necessary for students in the Rotman School of Management.]
  • Bring the form to our Graduate Office (GE 172) for us to process.
