need-to-know
Deadline to register: September 16
The deadline for fall session registration is September 16. After that date, enrolment in and access to courses via the Student Web Service will be cancelled for students not registered. As well, late charges of $44 plus $5 per day (to a maximum of $94) are applied and registration can only be done in person at SGS. Proof of payment of tuition fees is required.
Course enrolment deadline: September 26
The final date to add a September session or full-year graduate course is September 26. After the deadline, you will need written permission of the course lecturer, your graduate coordinator and SGS approval.
The deadline to drop a September session or full-year graduate course, without academic penalty, is October 31. Refund timelines differ from academic timelines. See Student Fees for the applicable refund schedule, if any. An Add/Drop Course form is required.
Rules for undergraduate course enrolment
Graduate students may enrol in undergraduate courses through your graduate home unit, but only with approval of your supervisor and graduate coordinator, the undergraduate unit and course lecturer. Graduate students are graded under the graduate grading scale. Undergraduate deadlines to drop without academic penalty apply.
Keep your student record up to date
Don't forget to check your contact information on the Student Web Service to make sure that your mailing and permanent address and emergency contact information are up to date and won't expire during the year. Also, make sure that your “utoronto” email address is recorded. Your graduate unit, SGS and the university will contact you by email throughout the year but only to a university-issued email address.
GSU health insurance
The Graduate Students Union offers Health and Dental Insurance benefits not provided by OHIP. All grads are covered by the Dental Plan, though only full-time grads are covered by the Health Plan. You can opt out until the end of September if you have equivalent insurance, or purchase family coverage and a one-year extension upon graduation.
money matters
Financial arrangements to register without payment
September 16 is the deadline for eligible students to make a financial arrangement to register without payment through your home unit. After the deadline, only SGS can process a financial arrangement for eligible students. See the August issue of the Gradschool e-News for details on eligibility. Contact your home unit for further information.
SGS Award Workshops
Workshops are scheduled in September by SGS Graduate Awards for students interested in applying for federal and provincial scholarships/fellowships. Workshops will be held on all three campuses and are highly recommended for anyone interested in applying for funding from these programs. Federal programs require that applicants be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada. Visit the SGS homepage for dates and details.
Award payments by instalment
SGS award payments are made three times a year in September, January and May. September award payments (for both internal and external awards) are refunded directly to you. Fees are not deducted from your September award instalment unless you have arrears. You are still responsible for ensuring your fees are paid.
Work-Study Positions go live September 1
The Work-Study Program provides eligible students with an opportunity to meet financial needs and gain practical experience during the school year. To view these opportunities, log in to your Career Centre account after September 1 and select 'Job Search' from the left-hand menu, then select 'Work-Study'.
