The Common Rooms provide study space and other facilities for Graduate Students. The Association is run by elected student officers and offers various services and social occasions for students. The Symposium provides graduate students with an opportunity to present their work in the setting of an academic conference and to engage in discussion with student and faculty colleagues regarding their research interests. The Symposium is one of the highlights of the academic year in the Department and is well attended by all members of the Department. The University's Koffler Student Centre offers a wide range of services to students.
Graduate students are eligible to participate in intramural sports and some varsity teams.
The International Student Centre provides services not only to international students but also to Canadians who may need its services. The Centre's goal is to provide services that promote and support international education at the University. Student advisors and other members of staff are available to assist with matters regarding immigration status, finance, accommodation and health insurance. The Centre also offers an English Language Programme to registered students. Several offices on campus offer English courses.
