If you have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), you may be required to confirm your enrolment at TMU in order to access your savings. TMU provides a standardized Verification of Enrolment for new students that contains all information required by financial institutions, and is accepted in lieu of their forms. 

Request Your Verification of Enrolment online between June 1 and July 19, 2024. Your official letter will be released to you online after you have satisfied the conditions on your Offer of Admission.

If you are no longer able to request a verification of enrolment you will need to wait until your class enrolment is complete and then request a Proof of Enrolment letter from your MyServiceHub account.

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) provides financial assistance through student loans and grants funded by the federal and provincial governments to students enrolled in post-secondary studies. Students whose primary residence is outside of Ontario should apply for funding through the government student aid program offered by their home jurisdiction.

To avoid delays in receiving your OSAP assessment and funds, we strongly encourage you to apply and upload all supporting documentation via the OSAP Portal (external link, opens in new window)  by June 30.

In mid-August, you must enrol into fall and winter term courses so that your course load matches what is reported on your OSAP application.

Visit Student Financial Assistance for funding details and application instructions.

Our Scholarships and Awards page has various entrance awards available for specific student groups. Most awards can be applied for from November to June. When you're ready to apply, visit AwardSpring (external link, opens in new window) .

If you are receiving sources of external funding other than RESPs, scholarships and government financial aid (OSAP), such as bursaries from employers or pension funds, you may be required to confirm your enrolment at TMU to access these funds. In many cases, a standardized Verification/Proof of Enrolment letter can be requested online and is sufficient to confirm your enrolment. If you have questions about your letter contact the ServiceHub.

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.

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

Tuition and fees are charged based on your course enrolments, and your fall term fees can be reviewed on your MyServiceHub student account starting in August.

To find out how much your fees are before you have enrolled into courses and your fees are confirmed on MyServiceHub, you can check the Undergraduate Tuition and Fees page.

If you have received an Entrance Scholarship, half of the amount will be applied to your MyServiceHub student account in late August, and will apply toward your fall term fees. The remaining amount will be applied to your student account in January, and will apply toward your winter term fees.
