Where to Find Key Student Resources on the TMU Website
Updated
The Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) website at torontomu.ca organizes its main student resources under an "Explore" section on the homepage, with direct links to the ChooseTMU Applicant Portal, career and co-op services, financial assistance, scholarships and awards, housing and residence, the Library, the English Language Institute, the contact directory, and equity and community inclusion. Use these links if you are applying, enrolling, or already studying and need a specific service rather than general information about the university.
Application and admissions entry point
If you are applying to TMU, the ChooseTMU Applicant Portal is the starting point listed on the homepage. It sits alongside the main audience paths — Future students, Undergraduate, Graduate, International, and Continuous learning — so you can move from exploring programs to submitting an application through one connected flow.
Choosing a study level first
Before opening the applicant portal, decide which level applies to you, since each has its own program listings:
| Study level | What the homepage states |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 60+ career-focused undergraduate degrees |
| Graduate | 65+ master's degrees, PhDs, or professional master's diplomas |
| International | Study in Canada, based in "Canada's most multicultural city" |
| Continuous learning | In-demand courses, certificates, and microcredentials through The Chang School |
Each of these paths links to its own "Explore programs" page, so you can review requirements before starting an application.
Student services and support links
The homepage's Explore section groups the practical services students need most. These are the direct entry points:
- Career, co-op and student success — for work-integrated learning and academic support
- Financial assistance — for funding questions beyond scholarships
- Scholarships and awards — for merit- and need-based award information
- Housing and residence — for on-campus living arrangements
- Library — for research and study resources
- English Language Institute — for English language programming
- Contact directory — for reaching specific departments or staff
- Equity & community inclusion — for equity-related services and community programs
How to use these links efficiently
Start from the audience path that matches your status (for example, Future students if you have not applied yet), then move to the specific service link. If you cannot find a department, the contact directory is the fallback for locating the right office.
Staying current with TMU news and events
The homepage also surfaces News and Events sections. One featured news item notes that TMU is among Canada's biggest risers in world university rankings, which the site attributes to career-ready academic training through experiential and inclusive learning. Checking Events is useful if you want to attend information sessions or campus activities before or during your studies.
What to do if a link does not answer your question
The homepage provides navigation rather than detailed policy or deadline information. If a service page does not resolve your question — for example, about a specific scholarship deadline or residence application window — use the contact directory to reach the relevant office directly. The site does not publish pricing or fee details on the homepage, so treat any cost-related question as something to confirm with the specific department rather than assuming from the landing page.
