SGS Webinars for Newly Admitted Graduate Students
SGS Webinars
Join staff from the School of Graduate Studies, as well as representatives from across U of T, during upcoming interactive webinars. We’ll answer your questions regarding registration, housing, graduate awards, family care, and other graduate-focused programs and services at the University of Toronto.
Please note that these webinars are intended to provide university-wide information. We will not be able to answer program-specific questions about course selection or enrolment. We will also not be able to offer advice on applying for study permits, or other immigration issues. See below for information about where to find support for study permit applications.

Thursday, July 7, 2022 – Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC)
5:00-6:00 pm ET
Graduate students need to be able to communicate sophisticated information to sophisticated audiences. As you prepare to attend your first conference, to write your first proposal, or to publish your first paper, you will need stronger communication skills than those needed in undergraduate work. The Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC) provides graduate students with advanced training in academic writing and speaking. Register here, starting June 27.
