For U of T,

when they say something like

A half course in FALL has the co-requisite for psychology

Do I have to take psychology in the FALL as well or can it be taken in the spring after taking the the half course?

If a course needs a corequisite, you need to take the corequisite at the same time as the course or have taken it previously

The usual case is where, to give an example, Physics has a corequisite of Calculus, which means that you must either have taken Calculus before Physics or be taking it at the same time, because you need to know stuff from Calc in the Physics class. However, naturally, you don't need to take Physics to take Calculus.

The other potential scenario is that this other class you don't name is a lab/tutorial/discussion group etc associated with Psych in which case you would have to take it at the same time unless the lab is optional. Labs can sometimes only be required for people intending to major in the subject or something (I took a bio class as an elective which had a lab for people majoring in Nutrition), and if it's optional you may be able to take them separately (or you may not).

Now, the wording of your question isn't clear. Is Psych the "calculus" while the other course is the "physics"? That seems to be the most likely scenario, but your wording seems to indicate the other way around.

Remember that it often takes just as long to do a search or two on Google to try and find the answer to your question as it takes to type it in a post here, let alone the time waiting for a reply.
If your question is "What mark does it take to get into University X", or "What are the requirements to get into University X", it's on their website and/or electronicinfo.ca (for Ontario schools). Particularly for Ontario schools, those ranges are a pretty good picture of what kind of mark will get you into the program, and if you're more than a couple percent higher it's practically guaranteed unless it requires a supplementary form.

I'm getting antireqs and coreqs confused.
An antireq course doesn't need to be taken (although coreqs and prereqs do) right?

Say we have courses A and B

If course A is an ANTIreq to course B, then if you have taken course A previously, you can NOT take course B.
If course A is a COreq to course B, then you must take course A at the same time as course B, or have taken it previously.
If course A is a PREreq to course B, then you must have taken course A before course B.

And when I say taken the course, I'm assuming credit was received.

Antirequisite can cover two different scenarios both meaning you can't get credit for both courses.

For the first scenario, let's say Grade 12 french is an antirequiste for French for beginners - you can't take French for beginners if you've taken Grade 12 French.

The other scenario is two courses that are similar but you can't get credit for both, but there are situations where you might need to take both. For example, if you switched from biology to chemistry, maybe you took Chemistry for Life Sciences but you need to upgrade that to Chemistry for Chem majors. Taking the Chem majors class would make the Life Sciences one not count for credit, so you'd need to pick up an extra course somewhere, but you would be allowed to take it. To be fair, I think sometimes they say "Credit cannot be obtained for both Chem 101 and chem 105" rather than use the term antirequisite.
