APHD COVID-19 Update
All classes at UofT have been moved online and many staff are telecommuting as of Monday, March 16, 2020 until further notice. Additional administrative support can be found further below on this page.
To support our community, we have put together some resources to help you cope and connect amidst COVID-19. You can find a list of these resources on the COVID-19 Coping Resources page.
COVID-19 exemption from tuition
SGS has announced that all research-stream and professional degree students who demonstrate that their academic progress was significantly impeded due to COVID-19 related disruptions may be exempt from tuition for up to one academic session. This duration may be re-assessed as the situation evolves.
Students still will be charged non-tuition ancillary, incidental fees and system access fees that are associated with the registration session.
APHD students may now request a COVID-19 exemption from tuition for up to one session using the APHD Tuition Exemption Form (found below). Students should submit these forms to their Program Administrator, who will ensure the process outlined is followed, and the final decision is communicated back to the student. For the fall session, the due date for submission of the form is August 1, 2020.

Please see the President's message and the Vice-Provost's message in response to COVID-19.
If you are a student with a question about a class you are currently enrolled in, please contact your instructor by email or through Quercus.
If you are a current student or a student seeking information on admissions, you can direct these questions to Program Staff, who are available by email during regular working hours.
In addition, staff have also scheduled online “office hours” for new and current students. During these office hours program staff will be available for phone calls, online meetings, and conversations over Microsoft Teams. As these are new systems that we have put in place for health and safety reasons, please be patient if you encounter technical difficulties.
