Did you know that you must now submit your Thesis electronically?

Electronic submission is mandatory for all students.  The Education Commons Research Services provides more information on E-Thesis Submissions (MA and PhD). As well, we have on-site workshops throughout the year.

 

Access the UofT Learning Portal with your Mobile Device - new Blackboard app!

Bb app The Blackboard Mobile Learn app enables students to receive course notifications and updates to course content from their mobile device. The app can be used with both wifi and cellular networks.
