At Ryerson, undergraduate and graduate day classes begin at 10 minutes past the hour, and end on the hour.

The 10-minute interval provides travel time for students and faculty coming from various locations across a large, downtown campus. It is important that instructors complete their class by the scheduled end time, to provide the next instructor time to set up and to ensure that students have time to make their next class.

Evening classes at The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education begin at the scheduled start time – 6:00 pm, 6:30 pm, etc.

Instructors are encouraged to provide a reasonable break during any class that is two hours or longer.
