Graduate Student News

Thesis Deadline
Graduate students who have not electronically submitted their final thesis copy to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs by May 10 will not be eligible to graduate in spring 2024 and must register for the summer 2024 term.

Notice of Construction
Facilities Management and Planning is rebuilding the south-side staircase beside the Tory Building because they are in a deteriorated state. To ensure the area around the construction site is safe for members of the community, the section of path just west of the staircase to Herzberg will be closed. Construction projects in the Quad are also underway and fencing has been erected around the grass for safety purposes. A small part of the tunnel directly located under the stairs will also be closed during this time. Due to roof work on the Herzberg Building, the pathway in front of the building will be temporarily moved to accommodate a crane. Access to Herzberg will not be impacted. The section of tunnel from past St. Patrick's to Leeds House will be closed until July 5 to complete the tunnel connection to the new student residence. Directional signage will be posted.
