SGS Orientation Winter 2024
Welcome!
Welcome to the University of Toronto’s School of Graduate Studies (SGS). In choosing to dedicate yourself to graduate studies here at U of T, you are joining a diverse and extensive team of global leaders in teaching, research and innovation. We are excited and proud to have you become a part of our community.
Graduate school is a very busy time, and a graduate education at U of T offers unparalleled professional and personal opportunities to learn and grow in myriad ways. To help you discover and navigate the many offerings and supports available at U of T, the School of Graduate Studies is excited to welcome you to our Winter 2024 Graduate Student Orientation.
Winter 2024 Graduate Orientation
Winter Orientation will be held in person on Thursday, January 4, 2024 at the Bahen Centre for Information Technology (40 St. George Street).
Program
You can choose to attend our full program including a student panel from 10 am-11:30 am ET in the Adel Sedra Auditorium. Please register using this link.
Registration will close on December 18th, but even if you are unable to reserve tickets, we welcome you to come to the Adel Sedra Auditorium (BA 1160) at the Bahen Centre for Information Technology at the time of the panel sessions to see if there are available seats, as we will very likely have additional capacity on the day.
You can also explore the Resource Fair (9:30 am-12:30 pm ET) in the Bahen Atrium during the panel session if it is full (no registration required) to speak to U of T students, staff, and campus partners to find out about all the services and resources available to you as a U of T graduate student.

Audio Tours
SGS has created audio tours of all three U of T campuses specifically for graduate students. Led by upper-year graduate students Swapna and Sandhya Mylabathula (aka the STEAM sisters!), the tours will help you get to know the different places graduate students can create, study, and relax on campus. Swapna and Sandhya also stopped to chat with some of the staff members at the different buildings they visited. Sign in with your UTORID and listen at the links below, or download the tours, and follow along on a map or on foot.
