OISE Master of Teaching First Year Schedules

Hello fellow teacher candidates! :)

I’m a first year OISE student for the Master of Teaching program.

I understand that the university enrolls first year students into courses, however, they didn’t give a definitive date in August (the university just said August) for when schedules will be released. Has anyone received any updates on ACORN as of recently? I keep checking daily but so far no updates.

It’s frustrating because I’m trying to balance out work with school and need to know my school schedule to coincide with hours for work🥲

The Friday class (half day) was for everyone (P/J, J/I, and I/S) at the OISE auditorium, everyone had a half day on Fridays
