Student Support

For significant dates at Toronto Met University, such as when classes start and Study Week, please visit the Toronto Met Calendar (opens in new window) .

The university calendar is the official guide to the courses required to complete your degree: https://www.torontomu.ca/calendar/ (opens in new window) .

Advisement Reports (opens in new window)  can be used to track and plan your academic progress as you work towards earning your degree.

Students indicate what courses they plan to take through a process called Course Intentions. Course Intentions are not a guarantee of enrolment but provided there are no holds on the students account and there are enough seats in the course, enrolment is automatic. If a manual enrolment is required students can do so during their designated enrolment window. 

Course intentions are done for incoming 1st year students but mandatory for all other students.

For internship information please visit our Internship page.

Students who wish to complete a minor can do so by taking the required courses for the Minor  in addition to the required courses for their degree. The student will then apply for their Minor when they submit their application to graduate.

For policies and details regarding Minors, please visit Toronto Met Undergraduate Calendar.

For long term accommodation, free confidential counselling services and other health support services, please visit Toronto Met Student Wellbeing (opens in new window)  page.

For short term requests for missed classes or extensions students must submit an Academic Consideration Request. Students have a 1-time per semester submission with no supporting documentation. See policy 167 or speak with your Academic Coordinator for details.

Academic Consideration Requests are submitted online and are for short term considerations (e.g. due to having the flu). Guidelines and documentation can be found on the Senate website.

Toronto Met has many resources to help students build their career, including planning tools and tips, through the Career and Coop Centre (opens in new window) . External jobs for Toronto Met students can be found on Toronto Met's job search platform called Magnet (external link)  and on campus jobs can be found through Career Boost. 

Creative School students can also book a career advising appointment for 1:1 career support and networking opportunities.

For information and to join Toronto Met's mentoring program, please visit Tri-Mentoring (opens in new window) .

There are many opportunities for students to volunteer and join various initiatives on campus.
