Graduate students may submit curricula vitae and transcripts to the file provided by the service and arrange for faculty members to write letters of recommendation for the file. Either at the request of the student or at the request of the institution, the Dossier Service will send the file to institutions at which students seek teaching positions. The GSU is the association to which all graduate students belong, and which represents them at the University level as well as through the Ontario Federation of Students and the Canadian Students Federation. It is a federation of course unions which represent students at the graduate unit level.
All students can benefit by attending meetings and getting involved.
