RE: Updates to the International Visiting Graduate Student Research
Mobility Agreement

As of September 1, 2008 the School of Graduate Studies introduced the International Visiting Graduate Student Research Mobility Agreement, which exists to facilitate visits by international graduate students who do not fall under an approved exchange program to participate in short-term research activities and be recognized as legitimate visitors to the University of Toronto. Please be advised that all international visiting graduate students who will be at the University for more than one-month should register under the auspices of this agreement.

SGS has recently updated the International Visiting Graduate Student Research Mobility Agreement (IVGSR). Of particular importance, specific fee information is now included.

The University of Toronto will not assess tuition fees, as international visiting graduate students cannot enrol in courses, although an annual administrative fee
$400.00) plus full-time compulsory non-academic incidental fees ($1,073.04 in 2009/2010 for Fall/Winter session), and University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) fees ($63 per month in 2009/2010) will be charged. This will facilitate access to basic research services (e.g. library, e-mail access, computing) and to basic student services (e.g. recreation facilities).

The complete agreement as well as the registration form is located under 'Exchange Forms' at:

Please ensure that your graduate faculty are aware of this protocol.

If you have any questions regarding this agreement, please contact your Student Services Officer or Student Services Assistant.
