  • SGS new student infos (including infos about your student card and UTORid number)
    Please obtain your UTORid number as soon as possible, and send your University of Toronto email address to Helena Juenger as soon as you have it. Once you have registered and found a place to stay in Toronto, please update your “current mailing address” in Acorn. If you are a PhD in the funded cohort, please note that without a current mailing address set up in Acorn, the system cannot process your funding. Please also review SGS’ Graduate Student Admissions FAQs which include COVID-19 updates.

  • Course Enrolment
    Once you have your UTORid, you can start logging into Acorn (see information attached). You can request courses on Acorn, but to fully enrol, you need to fill out an Add Course Form (find it at the Student Forms & Letters website above) and submit it to Helena Juenger. Please review the Instructions for Graduate Course Enrolment on Acorn.
