The Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (YSGPS) is the administrative site for graduate programs at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). YSGPS staff are pleased to provide assistance to applicants, students and faculty.
In April 2022, the university announced our new name of TMU, which is being implemented in a phased approach. During this transition period, university documents (e.g, offers of admission) may be issued under the name of TMU and Ryerson University and both should be considered official and equivalent. Normally, documents will not be re-issued. For more information, please visit our Next Chapter site.

Graduate Admissions Assistant
- Graduate Program Administrators provide overall support to ensure the efficient delivery of graduate programs. Their responsibilities include: monitoring student progress and evaluating graduation eligibility; coordinating admissions activities, thesis and dissertation defences, and student funding (scholarships, awards, assistantships and stipends); and overseeing program communications.
- Graduate Program Directors ensure program delivery of the highest standard by providing a critical link between YSGPS, the program and the home faculty. They work with chairs to identify qualified faculty to teach and supervise, arrange graduate course schedules, coordinate student recruitment and admissions, oversee thesis defences, student records and funding allocations, monitor student financial support and uphold advisory mechanisms that promote the academic development of students.
