The School of Graduate Studies (SGS)
At the School of Graduate Studies (SGS), we are dedicated to enhancing every aspect of the graduate student experience. Our goal is to provide exceptional support services and resources—including specific ones for international students—so you can thrive academically and personally.
From the moment you consider applying to the University of Toronto, SGS is here to help. We offer admission guidance, credential assessments, and interactive chat sessions to address your questions and concerns. Once you begin the application process, we provide step-by-step support through the online system and assist with essential administrative tasks like registration and enrolment.
Our commitment to students
At SGS, your well-being matters just as much as your academic success. U of T offers a wide range of resources to support mental health and wellness for all students. In addition, graduate students have access to three dedicated SGS centres which provide a wide range of academic and professional supports, helping you thrive academically, professionally and personally.
We also strive to foster an equitable and inclusive community—one that celebrates diversity, protects human rights, and values the dignity and worth of every individual. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are woven into everything we do, from data collection and funding to programming, professional development, and community engagement:
