PhD Manual

The Faculty has changed the comprehensive paper requirement to comprehensive exam for students who began their PhD study in September 2018. As a result, we have prepared two versions of the 2022-2023 PhD Program Manual:

Version 1: With Comprehensive Exam Requirements, as of September 2018. This version is for students who began their PhD study September 2018 or later.

Version 2: With Comprehensive Paper Requirements, prior to September 2018. This version is for students who began their PhD study prior to September 2018 and did not opt in to the new comprehensive exam requirement.

Ontario’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Changes will likely occur as the province and its municipalities adjust to new data about the virus. In these circumstances, please be advised that the manner of delivery of courses, co-curricular opportunities, programs, and services is subject to change, in accordance with university policies. The University thanks its students, faculty, and staff for their flexibility during these challenging times as we work together to maintain the standards of excellence that are the hallmark of the University.
