RE: SGS Calendar Print Reduction

I am advising you that we are reducing the number of printed copies of the SGS Calendar by no longer producing paper copies for every student.

As of the 2011-12 academic year, all graduate students (new and returning) will be directed to the on-line versions of the 2011/2012 SGS Calendar. They will be advised by SGS via email during the summer that on-line graduate calendars (current and past) are available via the SGS website at www.sgs.utoronto.ca/calendar.htm. Students will be invited to browse a searchable PDF or surf a hyperlinked HTML version. Print copies will no longer be distributed to graduate students. However, we have arranged a small print run for those students who require a print copy – those students may pick up a copy from SGS free of charge, while quantities last.

Coordinators and administrators in graduate units will each receive a print copy, as will SGS staff and deans.

To increase awareness of the on-line calendar, supplies of printed bookmarks will be
distributed to graduate units and will be available in SGS. The bookmarks feature a scan code and the website link to the Calendar. Bookmarks will be distributed with the Essential Graduate Guide to new incoming students.

Please contact Lily Yee-Sloan or me if you have any questions lily.yee.sloan@sgs.utoronto.ca).
