Who We Are
The Office of the Ombudsperson at Toronto Metropolitan University is a place for students to come to if you have a problem or a conflict with the university. We are available to meet in-person, virtually and over the phone.
Contact us if you believe you have been treated unfairly and/or you are not sure what your options are, or if you would like to discuss how a Toronto Metropolitan policy or procedure applies to your situation.
