International Services for Students
Ryerson is committed to helping you adjust to your new life in Toronto and at Ryerson. International Services for Students (ISS) supports international students throughout their university career. Services include international student orientation, advice on practical matters, regular social events, and peer support programming.
On-Campus Accommodation
Ryerson has three on-campus co-educational residences with a total of 840 rooms, most of which are private. Meal plans are available to all residents. The buildings are all within a 5-minute walk from anywhere on campus.
If you receive an Offer of Admission, you will be given special consideration for a space in residence, provided you apply for residence by a deadline . Visit Student Housing Services for more information.
Off-Campus Accommodation
Students often choose to rent apartments in the neighborhood of the University or within a short commute. Ryerson offers an Off-campus Housing Registry that you can use to find housing once you are in Toronto. There are also several residence-style apartment buildings close to Ryerson. Information about these housing options is provided in the Information for International Students brochure that is sent to all international students who apply to Ryerson programs. Visit Student Housing Services for more information.
Health Insurance
The University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) provides health coverage that is equivalent to that provided to students from Ontario. It is mandatory for all international students studying at Ontario universities, and their eligible dependents.
Ryerson Health Services
The Ryerson Health Centre is staffed by male and female physicians and nurses who provide general medical care. This includes emergency care, general examinations, allergy shots and a variety of other services covered by UHIP. The Health Centre team will make referrals to specialists and other medical services throughout Toronto, if required. For more information, consult Health Services.
