General Information
The Profession of Forestry
The forester of the future is a professional with broad interests and capabilities whose chief aim is the wise management of renewable natural resources for the benefit of society. The forester is concerned with the balanced management of forest resources for optimum yields of wood products, abundant wildlife, plentiful supplies of pure water, attractive scenic and recreational environments in both wildland and urban set- tings, and a variety of other services and prod- ucts. As a result of rapidly changing economic and social conditions, forestry has become an extremely challenging profession.
The forester is trained to make and implement decisions at various policy levels in both govern- ment and industry. Because most of the forest land in Ontario and the other provinces of Canada is publicly owned and administered by the provinces, counties or regional conservation authorities, our graduate foresters find many professional opportunities with various govern- mental agencies. On the other hand, private forest industries use professional foresters to more effectively utilize forest resources in the production of their various forest benefits.
Ontario Professional Foresters Association and Society of Wood Science and Technology
Graduation from the University of Toronto with the B.Sc.F. degree in the Forestry program provides the academic qualification for registra- tion in the Ontario Professional Foresters As- sociation. Membership in this Association is required of all who wish to be considered as professional foresters in the province of Ontario in accordance with the Ontario Professional Foresters Act, 1957. “The objects of the As- sociation are to promote and increase the know- ledge, skill, and proficiency of its members in all things relating to forestry and to regulate the standards of forestry practice of its members.” Graduation from the University of Toronto with the B.Sc.F. degree in the Wood Science and Forest Products program provides the academic qualification for registration in the Society of Wood Science and Technology.
Faculty Facilities
The Faculty of Forestry is located on the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto within easy access to all University facilities.
The main office of the Faculty is located on the fifth floor of a modern office building at 203 College Street. Modern teaching laboratories are located at 45 St. George Street, and at 1 Spadina Crescent. Graduate facilities are also located in the foregoing locations and at Glen- don Hall, 2265 Bayview Avenue.
The Forestry library, located at 45 St. George Street, is part of the University of Toronto Library system and includes over 10,000 forestry vol- umes and documents as well as a large microfiche collection of particular interest to those doing forestry and forestry-related research.
A tree nursery and greenhouse are maintained at Glendon Hall. Modern computer facilities and services are provided by the University of Toronto Computer Centre and are extensively used by the Faculty of Forestry.
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has made available to the Faculty areas in the various forest regions of southern and northern Ontario for research. One of these areas, the Glavicic Woodlot, includes 37 ha of forest and open land. It is well suited for instruction and research in management, silviculture, and ecology
The Faculty also has access to 8,200 ha of forested land near Dorset, Ontario, where in- struction and research in the management of central Ontario lands for timber, recreation, and wildlife are carried out.
Instruction and research in the boreal forest are undertaken at the Englehart Management Unit using facilities of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
An arboretum on 800 ha of land owned by the Toronto General Burying Grounds is available under a cooperative agreement with the Univer- sity of Toronto for undergraduate and graduate research projects
Foresters’ Club
The membership of the Foresters’ Club includes all undergraduate B.Sc.F. degree students of the Faculty. The elected executive administers business and functions of concern to the students.
The Club is tne students voice in Faculty and University affairs. Its representatives serve on
1
various Faculty-student committees, and also act as liaison between the University administra- tion, SAC, alumni, and the student body. The Club organizes various social events and partici- pates in other ventures, including the Woods- men’s Competition Team, and the publication of "The Annual Ring” student yearbook and the “Slabs and Edgings" quarterly.
Forestry Athletic Association
All Forestry undergraduate students are mem- bers of the Athletic Association.
In spite of the relatively small enrolment in Forestry compared to the larger faculties and colleges in the University, Forestry students have actively participated and consistently done well in intramural hockey, football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, and water polo.
Petitions and Appeals
Students are encouraged to communicate directly with staff regarding academic ques- tions/problems, or alternatively, to submit a written petition for consideration. Petitions re- garding examinations must be submitted ac- cording to the time limit given on page 5. Such petitions should be addressed to the Chairman of the Petitions Committee, 203 College Street. Details of petition procedures are available from the Faculty.
Decisions on petitions may be further discussed with the Chairman of the Petitions Committee and/or the Dean. If appropriate, a studertf may initiate a formal appeal to the Academic Appeals Board subsequent to petitioning. An academic appeal is an appeal by a student (i) against a decision as to his success or failure in meeting an academic standard or other requirement; or
(ii) as to the applicability to his case of any academic regulation. Details on “Structures and Procedures for Academic Appeals by Students” are available from the Secretary of the Faculty, 203 College Street. An appeal to the Academic Appeals Board shall, except in exceptional circumstances, be commenced by filing a notice of appeal with the Secretary of the Board no later than ninety days after the decision from which the appeal is being taken as been com- municated in writing to the appellant.
Discipline
(a) Academic
Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters The Governing Council of the University of
Toronto has approved a Code of Behaviour regarding academic discipline applying to students, former students, graduates and mem- bers of the teaching staff of the University. The full text of the Code is available from the Secre- tary of the Faculty. The code is enforced by the University Disciplinary Tribunal.

(iv) to submit for credit in any course or program of study any academic work containing a purported statement of fact or reference to a source which has been concocted.
(b) to the benefit or detriment of a member or
former member,
(i) to evaluate academic work performed by the member for credit in a course or program of study by reference to any criterion that does not relate to the merit of the academic work or to the time within which the academic work is to be submitted or to the manner in which the academic work is to be performed; or
(ii) to evaluate an application by the mem- ber or former member for admission or transfer to a course or program of study by reference to any criterion that does not relate to the suitability of the appli- cant for the course or program of study; except that where a limitation on enrol- ment in the course or program of study
12
exists, suitable candidates may be se- lected by duly established and pub- lished criteria.
(c) to forge or in any other way alter or falsify any academic record, or to utter or make use of any such forged, altered or falsified record.
(d) to remove books or other library material from a University library without proper authorization, to mutilate library material or misplace it, or in any other way to deprive another member or members of the Univer- sity of the opportunity to have access to library resources.

1. One or more of the following sanctions may be imposed by the Dean where a student or former student admits to the commission of an offence:
(a) censure;
(b) assignment of a mark of zero or a failure for the piece of academic work in respect of which the offence was committed;
(c) assignment of a penalty in the form of a reduction of the final mark;
(d) denial of privileges to use any facility of the University, including library and com- puter facilities;
(e) assignment of a mark of zero or a failure for the course in respect of which the offence was committed;
(f) suspension from attendance in a course or courses, a program, an academic division or unit, or the University for a period of not more than twelve months.
2. One or more of the following sanctions may be imposed by the Tribunal upon conviction
of any student or former student of any

Reporting
All persons convicted of academic offences under the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters will have their names included in a re- port by the Provost to the Academic Affairs Committee.
(b) Non-Academic
The Council of the Faculty of Forestry has disciplinary jurisdiction over the conduct of all students registered in the Faculty in all matters of local or internal concern to the Faculty. Jurisdiction over the conduct of students while in residence rests with the body administering the residence.
Where the appropriate body exercising dis- ciplinary jurisdiction has found that a student of the University has engaged in conduct prejudi- cial to the interests of the University, the Caput may, in its discretion, suspend or expel such student from the academic privileges of the University. Every decision of the Caput involving the expulsion of a student from the University requires confirmation of the Governing Council. The role of the Caput and the Council as described above is contingent on the under- standing that offences or actions or claims within the jurisdiction of criminal and civil courts will be referred where appropriate to those courts and will only be reviewed by the Caput where the implications to the University are considered sufficiently important to warrant such a review.
Academic Sanctions for Outstanding University Obligations
Consistent with the University’s “Policy on Aca- demic Sanctions for Students Who Have Out-
13
standing University Obligations”, the following academic sanctions will be imposed on stu- dents who have outstanding recognized Univer- sity obligations:
- statements of results and official transcripts of record will not be issued.
- the University will not release either the official document (normally called diploma) which declares the degree, diploma or certificate earned or provide oral confirmations or writ- ten certification of degree status to external enquirers. Indebted graduands will be al- lowed to walk on stage and have their names appear on the convocation program.
- registration will be refused to a continuing or returning student.
The University’s Policy is founded on two funda- mental principles:
- the application of academic sanctions to stu- dents who have outstanding financial obliga- tions to the University or one of its divisions should be made on a single equitable basis, regardless of a student’s division of registra- tion.
- an obligation to pay a legitimate debt exists regardless of the size of the debt.
Following is a list of recognized University obliga- tions:
- tuition fees.
- academic and other incidental fees.
- residence fees and other residence charges.
- library fines.
- Bookstore accounts.
- loans made by colleges, faculties or the University.
- Health Service accounts.
- unreturned or damaged instruments, materials and equipment.
Payments made by continuing or returning stu- dents shall be applied, first to outstanding University debts and second, to current fees.
Student Records
Following is an excerpt from the “Combined Policy on Access to Student Records” approved by Governing Council June 16, 1983. The full text of the Policy is available on request from the Secretary of the Faculty.

Names and addresses of students will also be provided to recognized campus organizations for the purpose of distributing information when ... conditions (as set down in the Policy) are met.
(d) Access by others
(i) By the act of registration, a student gives implicit consent for a minimal amount of information to be made freely available to all enquirers: the academic division(s) and the session(s) in which a student is or has been registered; de- gree^) received and date(s) of con- vocation.
(ii) Any other information contained in the academic record of a student, includ- ing the student’s comments generated under Section 5(a)(iii) but with the ex- ception of the material specifically ex- cluded in Section 5(a)(i), shall be re- leased to other persons and agencies only with the student’s prior expressed written consent, or on the presentation of a court order, or in accordance with the requirements of professional licensing or certification bodies, of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities for an annual enrolment audit, or otherwise under compulsion of law.

Financial Assistance
Government Financial Aid Full-time students
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is available to Ontario students who are Canadi- an citizens or permanent residents to assist them in meeting their educational costs. OSAP includes both non-repayable grant and loan assistance. OSAP loans are interest-free and
non-repayable until six months after the re- cipient has graduated or ceased to be a full-time student. Information concerning the eligibility and assessment criteria may be obtained from the Office of Student Awards, University of Toronto (586-7950). Application forms are avail- able from the Faculty Office and from the Office of Student Awards.
Students from other Canadian provinces should apply through their provincial financial aid authority. The Office of Student Awards can provide addresses and, in many cases, applica- tion forms.
Part-time students
Part-time students may also qualify for OSAP assistance. Flowever, the following programs may be of greater benefit in certain situations:
The Federal Government has recently estab- lished a new loan program for part-time students taking less than 60% courseload. Unlike OSAP loans, part-time Canada Student Loans are repayable beginning 30 days after the loan is negotiated. Further information and application forms may be obtained from the Faculty Office or from the Office of Student Awards.
The Ontario Special Bursary Plan provides assistance to part-time students in serious finan- cial need. Bursaries cover direct educational costs such as tuition, books, and transportation. Students wishing to apply should contact the Office of Student Awards.
Bursaries

The B.Sc.F. Degree Program
TRAINING OF PROFESSIONAL FORESTERS AT TORONTO
The undergraduate Forestry program at Toronto has been developed on a broad base that includes courses of study in the physical sci- ences, engineering and mathematics, the bio- logical sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences.
Some course options are included in the later years of the program when the student may study subjects in which he has a special interest or aptitude. Such subject areas may include silviculture, land-use planning, forest biology, timber harvesting, remote sensing, wildlife man- agement and forest management to mention only a few. While this concentration of interest does not provide a specialist’s qualifications, it better prepares the student for professional work in various environmental and industrial forestry activities. A wide variety of subject areas offered by the various faculties of the University of Toronto including Forestry are also available.
At the beginning of the third year, students choose either the Forestry program or the Wood Science and Forest Products program. This latter program is concerned mainly with the anatomy and properties of wood and its utiliza- tion as an industrial material, particularly for the chemical, construction, and furniture industries.
Upon successful completion of either the regu- lar Forestry program or the Wood Science program, the candidate is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry (B.Sc.F.).
Further specialization and training in research is available to interested and able students through the post-graduate degree programs at the master’s and doctorate levels. These pro- grams are offered in various fields of forestry, including forest management, forest biology, and wood science (see page 41 for further information on graduate programs in forestry).
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE YEAR
The Professional Experience Year is a 1 6-month cooperative venture in which students may be employed by either industry or government in a variety of forestry or forestry-related jobs that will train them in the practical aspects of forestry required for professional competence. The pro- gram provides an excellent opportunity for stu-
dents to gain practical experience at a time when it will contribute significantly to their appre- ciation and understanding of their final years at the University.
This program is available to students who have successfully completed two years of study and who wish to undertake a 16-month work experi- ence before entering the third year. Interested students will be screened by the Faculty on the basis of academic competence and demon- strated motivation.
For further information contact the Secretary of the Faculty.
CURRICULUM AND STANDARDS
Core and Elective Courses
Core courses contain knowledge essential to the development of professional foresters and a student must attain at least a minimum standard of understanding in these courses in order to graduate with professional qualifications.
Elective courses, on the other hand, permit the student to pursue his own forestry-related interests. These courses may be chosen by the student from any department or faculty*, includ- ing Forestry, within the University with the per- mission of the instructor in charge of the course and, if desired, with the assistance of a counsel- ling Faculty member. Electives must include subject content at a level equal to or higher than the content of courses for which credit has been previously awarded. While a passing grade is mandatory in all core courses for graduation, a student need not pass every elective course which he attempts as long as he passes a sufficient number of courses to satisfy gradu- ation requirements.
Some of the Forestry core courses taught by other University divisions (e.g., MAT129Y, CSC201FI, STA222Y) do not fulfil prerequisite conditions for advanced courses in the depart- ments concerned. Students who anticipate ful- filling their elective course requirements with advanced courses offered by these other divi- sions should consider replacing the specified Forestry core courses with more advanced introductory courses. For further information, contact the Secretary of the Faculty.
*Exception: “PA” (activity) courses offered by the School of Physical and Health Education will not be accepted for elective credit.
24
Transfer Credit
A student wishing to take a summer, evening, or other course at another university for credit toward the B.Sc.F. degree is required to petition the Faculty for permission to take the course before applying to that university. The intent of this ruling is to ensure that the course being applied for will be at an adequate level and content to qualify for credit. The minimum grade for a course from another university (taken prior or subsequent to entering the B.Sc.F degree program) to be granted as an advanced standing or transfer credit in the B.Sc.F. degree program is 60%. Credit for core subjects will be given according to the Faculty’s weight units or the original university’s weight units, which- ever is less. Normally no weight units will be granted for courses completed at a non- university level. The student is responsible for ensuring that an official transcript of the course result is submitted to the Secretary of the Faculty if transfer credit is to be recognized for the B.Sc.F. degree.
Grading Practices
Grading practices in the Faculty are governed by the University Grading Practices Policy and the Faculty Grading Practices Policy. Copies of these documents are available on request to the Secretary of the Faculty. The following informa- tion (Grade Scale, Grading Regulations and Appeal Procedures and Student Access to Examination Papers) is taken from the Faculty Grading Practices Policy:
Grade Scale
Grades for each course in the Faculty are assigned on a numerical scale (0% to 100%), and reported on both a numerical and refined letter grade scale, with reference to the following meanings:

The grades assigned to courses imply the
following:
A Excellent performance; strong evidence of original thinking, good organization, capacity to analyze and synthesize; a superior grasp of the subject matter with sound critical evaluations; evidence of an extensive knowledge base.
B Good performance; evidence of a grasp of the subject matter, some evidence of criti- cal capacity and analytic ability, and rea- sonable understanding of the relevant issues under examination; evidence of familiarity with the literature.
C Adequate performance; the student is pro- fiting from his university experience; an understanding of the subject matter and an ability to develop solutions to simple prob- lems found in the material.
D Marginal performance; some evidence of familiarity with the subject matter and some evidence that critical and analytic skills have been developed.
E Inadequate performance; evidence of familiarity with only some of the subject matter; the presence of some critical and analytic skills.
F Wholly inadequate performance; little evi- dence of even a superficial understanding of the subject matter; weakness in critical and analytic skills, with limited or irrelevant use of literature.
Note: The word “performance” is assumed to
include facility in written communication.
Designators and Other Non-Grade Symbols
Used in Reporting Course Credits
(a) Designators: assigned and reported in- stead of regular grades.
AEG: Aegrotat standing granted on the basis of term work and medical or similar evidence. AEG is assigned by the Faculty Examinations and Stand- ing Committee upon approval of a student’s petition. It carries credit for the course but is not considered for averaging purposes.
*Failed course.
25
DNW: Did not write/did not attend/did little work. DNW is assigned by the in- structor and may be confirmed or changed to another symbol during the Faculty grade review. If con- firmed, it carries no credit for the course but is used for averaging purposes with a value of 0%.
NGA: No grade available. NGA is assigned by the Faculty in the extraordinary case that a grade is not available for one of its students enrolled in a course. It must be replaced by a regular grade assigned by the in- structor or by another symbol as- signed during the Faculty review. It carries no credit for the course and is not considered for averaging pur- poses.
SDF: Standing deferred on the basis of incomplete course work because of medical or similar reasons. SDF is assigned by the Faculty Examina- tions and Standing Committee upon approval of a student’s petition or an instructor’s recommendation. It must be replaced by a regular grade as- signed by the instructor before the expiry of a specific extension period. It carries no credit for the course and is not considered for averaging pur- poses. (When the SDF is replaced by a regular grade, the grade and credit will be applied to the student’s ses- sional and cumulative averages and sessional and cumulative weight units, for the session when the re- placement is made.)
(b) Modifiers: assigned and reported in con- junction with a regular grade.
*: Assessed grade granted on the basis of term work and medical or similar evi- dence. A grade is modified by an asterisk (*) by the Faculty Examinations and Standing Committee on the basis of a student’s petition or an instructor’s re- commendation. If the grade is satisfac- tory, it carries credit for the course. An asterisked grade is considered for aver- aging purposes.
I: Incomplete; earned grade shown. “I” is assigned by the instructor together with the grade when the overall performance in a course is satisfactory but an essential part of the term work has not been completed. This work must be completed to the instructor’s satisfaction within a
specified period, whereupon the modi- fier will be removed but the grade will not be otherwise changed. Credit for the course will be granted only if the modifier is removed. A grade modified by “I” is considered for averaging purposes. (When the “I” is cleared the course credit will be applied to the student’s sessional and cumulative weight units for the ses- sion when the “I” is cleared.)
(c) Notations: reported with a regular grade, but not indicative of student performance. X: Extra course; not for degree credit. “X” is specified by the student’s counsellor or the Secretary of the Faculty at the time the student registers for the course. The grade for the course is assigned in the usual way by the instructor. A grade accompanied by the notation “X” carries no credit for the course and is not con- sidered for averaging purposes.
Grading Regulations
(a) The instructor in each course shall provide notice in writing, at a regularly scheduled class meeting held as early as possible in the term but before the final date to add or substitute courses, the details of the com- position of the final mark which applies to that course. This information shall also be submitted to the Faculty Examinations and Standing Committee via the Secretary of the Faculty, specifying the weighting of each component of the final course mark.
(b) After the final date to add or substitute courses, the composition of the final mark in a course cannot be changed except by approval of the instructor and at least a two- thirds majority of the students enrolled in the course. The Faculty Examinations and Stand- ing Committee must then be informed of the change and the reasons for the change.
(c) At the same time as the composition of the final mark is announced (see (a) above), due dates, manner of submission and penalties for failure to comply shall also be specified and announced for all work to be submitted by students for credit in a course. All term work must be submitted no later than the last day of lectures in the term, as published in this calendar.
(d) (i) All written term work must normally be
returned to students after evaluation with what the instructor considers to be appropriate commentary.
(ii) After evaluating and returning items of term work, the instructor or the teaching assistant(s) shall be available as ap-
26
propriate to meet with each student who wishes to discuss the work and/or the commentary offered.
(iii) Final examination answer papers are not returned to students. The instructor must deliver them to the Faculty Office for storage. The papers will be stored until March 15 or November 15 (which- ever comes first) following the semester in which the course was offered, after which they will be destroyed.
(e) The following rules and guidelines apply to the evaluation of student performance in all courses offered within the Faculty. Where appropriate, however, an instructor may apply to the Faculty Examinations and Standing Committee for permission to deviate from the rules.
(i) Student performance in a course will be assessed by means of more than one evaluation element, and no one element will have an inordinate value in the assessment. Exemption from this regu- lation may be granted by the Faculty Examinations and Standing Committee.
(ii) The dates of term tests should be an- nounced in advance. Unannounced term tests, if used, shall be used only in the laboratory sessions of courses and should not count for more than a minor fraction of the total mark for term work, and the value of this fraction should be specified early in the term when the details of the composition of the final course mark are announced in class.
(iii) A final written examination, conducted within the published examination period under the jurisdiction of the Faculty Council and counting for at least 35% of the final mark, shall be held in each course that meets regularly as a class. The relative value of each part of a written examination will be in- dicated on the examination paper. Exemption from this regulation may be granted by the Faculty Examinations and Standing Committee.
(iv) Any variation from the normal Faculty examination procedures (e.g., take- home examination, oral examination, outside the published examination period, etc.) requires the prior approval of the Faculty Examinations and Stand- ing Committee, on an annual basis. Re- quests for approval of special examina- tion arrangements must be made by August 15 for the fall semester and by
December 1 for the spring semester and announcement to the class may not be made until the approval of the Committee is obtained.
(v) The only aids which a candidate may bring to the final examination and use, other than those which may be pro- vided by the examiner or specified on the examination paper, are pen and pencil, a bilingual dictionary (for students having difficulty with the English language) if presented to the presiding examiner for inspection and approval prior to each examination at which its use is proposed, and drafting instruments, and electronic calculators, without their carrying cases. Electronic calculators must be non-printing, silent and self-powered.
(vi) Under no circumstances will students be permitted to evaluate their own work for credit in a course.
Appeal Procedures and Student Access to
Examination Papers
(a) Appeal Procedures
Appeals of assigned grades by students will be submitted to the Faculty Petitions and Awards Committee.
A student should submit to the Faculty Petitions and Awards Committee, immedi- ately after its occurrence, evidence of any illness or mishap which hampers the ability of the student to complete course require- ments. Any petitions for special considera- tion because of such incidents may be refused consideration if received after the third day following the last day of examina- tions.
(b) Access to Examination Question Papers Access to previous final examination ques- tion papers is normally available through the Forestry Library. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the Faculty Examinations and Standing Committee.
(c) Reproduction of Final Examination Answer Papers
A student may obtain a reproduction of his final examination answer paper written un- der the jurisdiction of the Council of the Faculty of Forestry by submission of a written request to the Secretary of the Faculty within the period ending on March 15 or November 15 (whichever comes first) following the semester in which the course was taken. The request must be accompa- nied by a fee of $5 for each examination paper to be reproduced.
27
(d) Rechecking of Marks
Within the period ending on March 15 or November 15 (whichever comes first) fol- lowing the semester in which the course was taken, a student may have the final mark in any course listed in the Faculty calendar rechecked by written request to the Secre- tary of the Faculty, accompanied by a fee of $5 for each course to be rechecked. The instructor will review the student’s examina- tion paper (if a final examination was held in the course) to ensure that all questions were properly marked in accordance with the original marking procedure used for the entire class, that the addition of marks was correct, that the term marks were correctly compiled, and that the clerical operations involved in the computation and reporting of the final mark were without error. Mark adjustments based upon lenient recon- sideration of the student’s work will not be made.
If an error is found that results in any change (either up or down) in the student’s final mark, the fee for rechecking the mark will be refunded.
Course Weights
For FOR courses, 12 weight units are assigned to F*, S*, and FI* courses and 24 weight units are assigned to Y* courses.
Weights for courses are assigned by the academic units responsible for the courses.
Course Load
The normal course load for a full-time student is 72 weight units per semester. A student who is in pass status may carry a maximum course load of up to 84 weight units per semester while the recommended maximum course load for a stu- dent on probation is 72 weight units.
A first year student must carry a course load of at least 60 weight units per semester. FOR114S (Forest Measurement Techniques) is not con- sidered when determining course loads.
Statement on Essays and Papers
There is no objection to a student preparing and submitting to two instructors papers on aspects of the same topic provided that the student makes a full disclosure of the fact to both instructors and is able to satisfy each instructor that the additional work differentiating each
*See page 34 for key.
paper from the other represents, when taken with the common elements, a satisfactory fulfil- ment of the writing and research requirements for each course.
Deadline for Submission of Term Work
Unless an earlier date is specified by the in- structor, all term work must be submitted on or before the last day of classes in the course concerned. Students who, for reasons beyond their control, wish to seek an extension of the deadline must consult the Secretary of the Faculty and petition if necessary.
In order to avoid an undue concentration of work near the end of term, a wise student will organize his time and keep term work up to date through- out the session.
Averaging
A weighted average (the weight factor for each course being the weight units assigned to it) will be determined for all courses completed in the fall semester to calculate the interim “semester average” and for all courses completed in the session (fall and spring semesters) to calculate the “sessional average”.
The “accumulated average”, on the other hand, is the weighted average of all passed courses to date.
Stage of Progress
A student’s progress through the B.Sc.F. de- gree program will be assessed by the accumu- lated weight units for courses he has success- fully completed. For the purpose of awards and administrative convenience, student progress will generally be designated at the beginning of the session as follows:
Stage of Progress
First year student Second year student Third year student Fourth year student
Supplemental Examinations
By petition, a fourth year student who has failed one FOR course in his last session but who has attained an overall pass status and who has met all other degree requirements may be given an opportunity to complete his degree require- ments by writing a supplemental examination in the failed course in lieu of returning and enrolling in a single course in a subsequent session.
Accumulated Weight Units 0-155 156-297 298-439 440-580
28
Exception: A third year student who fails one of the FOR Wood Science core courses offered in alternate years may be permitted, by petition, to write a supplemental examination in that course in the same year if he could complete all other outstanding degree requirements in one addi- tional normal session.
A petition to write one supplemental examination must be received by the Faculty Secretary no later than July 15 following the session in which the course was failed.
Supplemental examinations will normally be scheduled to be written sometime during the first two weeks of the fall semester following the session when the course was failed.
Supplemental examinations will normally be written at the Faculty. Students who wish to write a supplemental examination at an alternate location or time must so state in their petition and request permission to do so. Such a request will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Students who are granted this privilege must defray any additional costs incurred.
Timber Harvesting Systems Field Work Requirement
Students entering in the B.Sc.F. degree pro- gram in 1985-86 and thereafter are required to obtain credit, prior to graduation, in Timber Harvesting Systems Field Work. This require- ment does not have course status or weight units but will be indicated on a student’s grade report and transcript as “credit” (CR) or “no credit” (NCR).
Practical Experience Requirement
Students entering the B.Sc.F. program in 1982-83 and thereafter are required to com- plete, prior to graduation, at least 500 hours (approximately 15 weeks) of forestry-related practical work of a nature acceptable to the Faculty’s Undergraduate Curriculum Committee or its representative (questions should be ad- dressed to the Faculty Secretary). This will normally be done during the summer vacation, but work done before entering the Faculty may also meet this requirement. Practical experience record forms (to be completed by the student and signed by the employer) are available from the Faculty office and must be returned there when completed.
The status of this requirement will be indicated on a student's fourth-year grade report and transcript as a grade of “CR” (credit) or “NCR” (no credit). Participation in the professional
experience year automatically satisfies this practical experience requirement.
Graduation Requirements
In order to qualify for the B.Sc.F. degree a student must have:
(a) Passed the core courses outlined in the undergraduate curriculum or their equiva- lents as recognized by the Council of the Faculty;
(b) Passed sufficient elective courses, in addi- tion to the core courses, to have accumulated a minimum of 580 weight units;
(c) Satisfied the timber harvesting systems field work requirement (applicable to stu- dents entering the B.Sc.F. degre program in 1985-86 and thereafter only);
(d) Satisfied the practical experience require- ment;
(e) Obtained an accumulated average of sixty percent or better.
Probation Status
Probation status is used as an initial warning to a student that his work is not up to the standard necessary in order to achieve the minimum 60 percent accumulated average required for the B.Sc.F. degree.
A student will be placed on probation if, during any session, he obtains a sessional average of from 50 to 59 percent.
A student will remain on probation until two conditions are met:
(a) He achieves a sessional average of 60 percent or greater; and
(b) His accumulated average is 60 percent or greater.
Fail Status
A student will be considered to have failed and must withdraw for one winter session if, during any session, he obtains a sessional average below 50 percent.
A student must withdraw for one winter session if, while on probation, he obtains a sessional average of less than 60 percent. Such with- drawals will be considered to be a fail.
Readmission to the Faculty of Forestry after withdrawal will be contingent upon permission of the Faculty and upon space available after other students in good standing have been promoted.
A student who has been required to withdraw and who subsequently registers is "on proba- tion".
29
A student who has earned two sessional failures, whether at this or another university, will not be permitted to register in the B.Sc.F. program.
Standings
Sessional and accumulated averages of suc- cessful students will be considered as follows:
80 percent or over
70-79 percent 60-69 percent
First Class Honours
Second Class Honours
Pass
Part-Time Students
Part-time student status is permitted only for a student who, at the beginning of the session, needs fewer than 120 weight units to complete his degree requirements (i.e. , normally a fourth year student), or for a special student (not proceeding to a degree).
A part-time student is one who is carrying a course load of fewer than 1 20 weight units per session and who, at the time of registration for the session, indicated that he intended to pur- sue studies on a part-time basis. Part-time/ full-time status will not be changed automatically by the Faculty but must be specified by the student to the Faculty Office at the time of registra- tion only.
30
UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM
Following is the recommended sequence of core courses that will minimize timetable conflicts and will permit the student to obtain the B.Sc.F. degree in four years. It is not necessary for a student to adhere strictly to this sequence. However, students are reminded (see page 28) that a normal course load per semester is 72 weight units (six courses at 12 weight units each) and that the graduation requirements shown on page 29 must be met in order to qualify for the degree.
Beginning in 1985-86, extensive revisions were approved for the B.Sc.F. degree program curriculum and these are in the process of being implemented, one year at a time over four years, for new students entering the B.Sc.F. degree program from 1 985-86 on. The list of courses shown below is a combination of the “new” program (first and second years) and the “old” program applicable for students who were registered in 1984-85 and/or before that session. The subsequent “new” program for the next two years is also shown.
Revisions to the Wood Science and Forest Products program were also approved and implementa- tion began in 1 985-86; the program reverted to a yearly plan from an alternate year schedule and the transition schedule for 1986-87 and the fully revised program to take effect 1987-88 are shown on the following pages.
Failure by a student to comply with the regulations posted and the deadlines published governing the addition/deletion of courses from the Faculty’s program records may result in zero credit/zero grade in a course or an administrative fine, as determined by the Faculty Examinations, Petitions and Awards Committee.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
F, S, & H courses = 12 weight units Y courses = 24 weight units
Key to Course Descriptions The courses described below have a three letter code, FOR, plus a three digit number. The first digit of the course number normally indicates the year of most of the students in the course. Thus FOR103F is designated primarily for first year students although it is in fact open to students in all years. The second and third digits indicate whether the course is a core course that must betaken for the degree, i.e. , digits 1 to 49, or an elective course, i.e., digits 50 to 99. Third and fourth year core courses are further differen- tiated by the use of digits 1 to 29 for Forestry core and digits 30 to 49 for Wood Science core courses.
Letter suffixes indicate the following:
Y = Full session course F = Half course offered in the fall semester S = Half course offered in the spring semester H = Half course offered through the two semesters
F, S = Half course offered either in the fall or the spring semester
F&S = Half course offered in the fall and in the spring semester
Y&S = Offered as both a full session course and also as a half course in the spring semester.
The digits included within the square brackets below the course number designate weekly contact hours in terms of lectures (L), practicals (P) (laboratories), seminars (S), and tutorials (T), respectively. For example, [32-] for FOR103F indicates that the course is comprised of three lecture and two practical hours per week.
On the same line as the contact hour reference the timetable is given as follows:
M = Monday T = Tuesday W = Wednesday R = Thursday F = Friday S = Saturday
N = timetable not yet specified ARR = timetable hours to be arranged in con- sultation with the instructor
Courses are offered from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday inclusive. Some Saturday field trips are required.
When a course is given at more than one timetable hour, section numbers are indicated. Thus for FORI 03F, LMWF9; PI :R2— 4; P2:T2-4, means that lectures will be given Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.; for practical work, the class is divided into two groups, the first group meeting from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Thursdays, and the second group meeting from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. Where applicable, groupings will be posted at the beginning of the semester.
Exclusion : A student may not enrol in a course which lists, as an exclusion, a course which he is also taking or has successfully completed.
Prerequisite: A course (or other qualification) which is required as preparation for entry into another course. If a student considers that he has equivalent preparation he may ask the instructor concerned to waive the prerequisite.
Corequisite: A requirement which must be un- dertaken simultaneously with the course which requires the corequisite. The corequisite may be waived if a student has previously obtained standing in it or if the instructor consents.
Students are responsible for fulfilling prerequi- sites and corequisites and for observance of exclusions. Failure to meet these requirements may result in academic difficulties or, in the case of exclusions, refusal of course credit toward the degree. If a student withdraws from a course he must also withdraw from any course for which it is a corequisite unless the instructor giving the latter course agrees to waive the corequisite.

The Dip.R.M. Program
General
A Diploma in Resource Management program is offered by the Faculty of Forestry to graduates with baccalaureate degrees from recognized universities in forestry, landscape architecture, biological sciences, environmental sciences and managerial sciences.
The Dip.R.M. program is intended for those presently involved in resource management who wish to obtain further specialization and updating of their knowledge and is not intended to take the place of, either entirely or in part, the research-oriented M.Sc.F. program offered by the Department of Forestry of the School of Graduate Studies. However, results of course work taken in the Diploma program, along with other academic qualifications, may be con- sidered for admission if the candidate subse- quently wishes to apply to the M.Sc.F. program. The Dip.R.M. program enhances the B.Sc.F. program but does not replace it as a means of obtaining professional forester status.
For information on sessional dates, refer to page 5 of this calendar, and for grading practices to pages 25-28. In addition, the following sections of this calendar include information applicable to the Dip.R.M. program: General Information; Admission and Registration - English Facility, Procedure for Registration, Withdrawals or Transfers; Fees.
No financial assistance is presently available for Diploma students from Faculty sources. How- ever, students may be eligible for government financial assistance (see “Financial Assistance”, page 23).
Program and Graduation Requirements
Students are required to take the equivalent of at least five full-year university courses in the first two years of the program. Normally at least three of these will be third and fourth year level undergraduate courses. If taken, a lower level undergraduate course should be offset by one graduate course.
Course selection is done by each student in consultation with his supervisor. Courses may be chosen from FOR offerings listed elsewhere
in this calendar and from offerings of other divisions of the University of Toronto. Each student’s program of courses is subject to approval by the Director of the Diploma pro- gram.
In order to qualify for the Dip.R.M., a student must have:
(a) taken and passed (minimum 50% in each) the equivalent of at least five full-year courses, previously approved by the Director of the program.
(b) achieved a weighted sessional average (the weight factor for each course being the weight units assigned to it by the division offering the course) in the courses taken each year of 60% or better.
(c) prepared and submitted a major paper (under the designation FOR499F/S), on the basis of library, laboratory, or field research, in one of the following three general areas: forest management, forest biology, or wood science. The paper must be of a standard acceptable to the student’s supervisor and the Director of the Diploma program. The mark assigned to the major paper will not be included in the weighted sessional average.
(d) completed all of the above requirements within a maximum of thirty-six months from initial registration in the program. The mini- mum period of residence for the diploma is two semesters (fall and spring) of one aca- demic session.
A student who achieves a sessional average of less than 60% will be considered to have failed and must withdraw from the program.
Application Procedure
Candidates should write to the Secretary of the Faculty to request an application form. Com- pleted applications accompanied by an official transcript from the university where the bachelor’s degree was obtained should be received by the Secretary no later than July 15 prior to the session in which the candidate wishes to regis- ter in order that the candidate, if accepted, will receive all information necessary for registration by the beginning of September.
