The Faculty of Arts is committed to ensuring that all events are accessible and inclusive. Please contact stulife@torontomu.ca at least two weeks prior to the event if you have any particular accommodation requirements.

Welcome all incoming Faculty of Arts students for Fall 2024! Please see important information below which will be updated throughout July and August. We look forward to welcoming you on campus!

The transition to university is an exciting time, but it can be a challenging time, too. There are a number of things you can do during the summer months, before classes formally begin in September, to make this transition as smooth as possible. Here are some ways to prepare for the start of classes.

Your TMU online ID gives you access to a variety of online resources including Gmail, MyServiceHub, D2L Brightspace, etc. You must activate your online identity 24 hours prior to adding and enrolling courses on MyServiceHub. 

Visit the CCS website (opens in new window)  for information on how to activate your online identity.

Important: Students are required to set up Two-Factor Authentication for security purposes. Please visit the CCS website (opens in new window)  on how to set up Two-Factor Authentication. Students should download the Google Authenticator app on their mobile phone or a U2F security key can be purchased from the Campus Bookstore which can be plugged into your computer and provides authentication for two-factor logins.

Become familiar with TMU’s Administrative Management Self Service system (called MyServiceHub); this is your one-stop shop to manage your courses as well as personal and financial information at TMU. You will complete course selection and enrollment on MyServiceHub (accessed via my.torontomu.ca). Please view web tutorials found under the 'Enrollment Tutorials' tab above well in advance of the enrollment period which begins August 6, 2024.

View your program's Enrollment Worksheet well in advance of the Fall 2024 enrollment period. Students can begin adding courses to their shopping carts on August 1, 2024. You will then be able to finalize course enrollments on Tuesday, August 6 starting at 6:00 a.m. View your program's enrollment information to find out what type of assistance they are offering to help you with course selection and enrollment. Click on the 'Enrollment Information and Tutorials' tab above to find out more details.
