Visiting students
If you are a PhD student at another institution who would like to officially visit our department for one or two semesters, here is the procedure to follow. (Visiting officially will allow you to use the library system and have internet access at the university.)- Find a faculty member in our department who is willing to supervise you during your proposed visit.
- This person will write a letter confirming that s/he will supervise you and describing the arrangements for your visit. (Office space is very short, so we may not be able to provide it.) This letter must be signed by the Department Chair in addition to the supervisor, and will be sent to your supervisor at your current institution for signature. A copy of the letter will be sent to the Graduate Dean at your institution.
- Complete a short application form and get the form signed by your home university's Graduate Chair and Graduate Dean, the person who will be your supervisor at the University of Toronto, and the Vice-Dean for Students at the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Toronto. (The person who will supervise you here will provide you with the form.)
- If your home institution is outside Canada, you will need to pay a $400 application fee, nonacademic incidental fees of approximately $550 per semester, and health insurance of $60 per month.
