How to Add, Change or Delete a Concentration

Some Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) programs have one or more concentrations available for students. Consult the Undergraduate Calendar for details about whether or not you can pursue a concentration.

In order to be evaluated for and graduate with a concentration, you must formally declare that you are pursuing it. You can do this at any time, and you can change or remove a concentration at any time before you have applied to graduate and your application has begun to be reviewed.

You can add one concentration at a time using Self Service. If you wish to add a second concentration, please contact Curriculum Advising at gradinfo@torontomu.ca.

You can access the Change Concentration menu option through the Academic Records tile on your student home page.
