To confirm, log in to my.torontomu.ca, and select the MyServiceHub tab. Your Offer of Admission will show in the Admissions section. Click on the Accept/Decline link for the offer you want to accept, and Accept Admission and Confirm Acceptance. See MyServiceHub Support: Admissions for detailed instructions.

Your $500 CAD (non-refundable*) tuition deposit is due by the date stipulated in your Offer of Admission. 

*The tuition deposit is non-refundable except in the following cases:

  • The university cancels/revokes an Offer of Admission
  • An application for a Study Permit has been denied (proof required)

If you are currently outside of Canada: Pay using CIBC International StudentPay, Convera for Students (formerly Western Union (WU) Business Solutions GlobalPay) or PayMyTuition International.

If you are currently inside Canada: Pay using a Canadian bank account by accessing your financial institution’s online bill payment option, or advise your bank representative that you would like to pay a bill.

For detailed instructions on fee payments please refer to How to Pay Your Fees website.

It is your responsibility to meet any/all conditions stated in your Offer of Admission by the deadline stated in your offer letter. Conditions may include completing your high school or college diploma, achieving a required overall average, passing prerequisite courses with the required grades and/or submitting final official academic transcripts.

Study Permit Information

Updates to study permit requirements for certain international students

The Government of Canada recently introduced new requirements for study permit applications. Please visit International Student Support - Study Permit (opens in new window)  for details.
 

The Letter of Acceptance (LOA) document is required for the study permit application. This is found with your Offer of Admission, available in the "My Communications" section of your ChooseTMU Applicant Portal.  We will not send the Letter of Acceptance for International Students by courier. You will need to print/ upload the Letter of Acceptance (LOA) document only for your study application process.

Please note that as of January 22, 2024, the Government of Canada requires a provincial attestation letter (PAL) (external link)  in your study permit application. The process for providing attestation letters is new and expected to be in place by March 31, 2024. Please continue to prepare your study permit application and gather relevant documents while we await the availability of this newly required document. Visit TMU's FAQ: Updates to Canadian International Study Permit Requirements and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (external link)  for further study permit application details. 

International Student Support can help answer any questions about immigration, preparing to study in Canada and more! Our team is made up of both Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors (RISIAs) and Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCIC). 

Please note that you will be required to include TMU's Designated Learning Institution (DLI) number on your application. Our DLI number is O19395677651.

Once you have applied for your study permit, please submit the Study Permit Form through the “eForms Center” in MyServiceHub on my.torontomu.ca. Please make sure to return to this form and update the status of your study permit application when you receive a response or decision from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Academic Accommodation Support (AAS) provides academic accommodations and related support to students with disabilities at TMU. AAS works with students to create and implement individualized academic accommodation plans so students can more fully participate in their studies.

A number of jobs are available on campus through the International Career Boost program. These positions are not only a great way to earn money, but they provide valuable work experience in academic, administrative and student service departments. 

Visit the Career & Co-op Centre website for program eligibility and application instructions.

Confirm Tuition Fees Amount

Tuition and fees are charged based on your course enrolments, and your winter term fees can be viewed on your MyServiceHub student account starting in December. As fees are based on your enrolments, the fees balance posted on your MyServiceHub account may not reflect the correct amount until you have completed your course enrolments. For an estimate of your fees, visit the Undergraduate Tuition and Fees page.

Pay Tuition Fees

Visit How to Pay Your Fees for information on how to pay your tuition fees through online banking. The tuition fee due date will be announced shortly.

Access Your TMU Student Account and Email at my.torontomu.ca

At the end of November, you will be granted full access to your TMU student account, allowing you to access all current student academic and financial features on MyServiceHub, as well as the full suite of Google Apps.

In late November to early December, you will automatically be prompted to create a TMU username and set-up your TMU email address when you log into my.torontomu.ca. Once your email has been set up, all official university communications will be sent there. Remember to check it frequently!

Update Your Chosen/Preferred First Name

You have the option to use your chosen/preferred first name for internal purposes on campus, including as your display name in D2L Brightspace, Google Workspace and Zoom. It will also display to your instructors on class rosters and grade rosters. 

You can update your chosen/preferred first name in MyServiceHub. Update your name before you apply for your student OneCard to ensure that it appears on your card. Also, updating your chosen first name before classes begins will ensure that it appears on class rosters. If you update your name after classes begin, your instructors may not know to use your updated name unless you contact them directly.

Note that your legal name on your student record will continue to be used for external purposes and on all official university documents such Official Transcripts and Graduation Awards.

Get Your OneCard

Your Student OneCard is one of the most important tools you’ll need while at TMU. Not only is it your official student identification, it also grants you access to campus services, buildings and discounts. You can also use it as a payment card to purchase products and services.

All incoming students must apply for their free OneCard using the online OneCard application portal.

Get your GO Transit Discount Card 

If you are a full-time student, you are eligible for GO Transit Student ID Cards, which can get you a discounted rate on GO Transit using your PRESTO Card.
