The bulletin or calendar of each member school indicates which courses a student must take in order to fulfil the requirements of specific degrees as offered by that school. All courses, including those listed as required by individual schools, are open to all students of the TST, subject to enrolment limitations approved by the department. For required courses in a given school, it is understood that priority may be given to the students of the school in question. Students must ballot for limited enrolment courses. Generally speaking, the closer students are to completing the requirements of their programme the higher their priority.
All courses meet two hours once each week, and require additional work outside the classroom.
There may be additional required tutorials for introductory courses. Each semester course is equivalent to three credit hours at the post-baccalaureate level. Under certain conditions they may register for courses in many departments of the University of Toronto. The concentration of many educational and pastoral facilities in Toronto and its environs makes possible offerings in related areas of study and training. Among these facilities are included the Toronto Institute for Pastoral Education, the Canadian Urban Training Centre, the Addiction Research Foundation .
