Information for new students
Welcome to FIFSW
Congratulations on your admission to the University of Toronto’s Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work (FIFSW). We hope you will accept our offer and join us this fall.
We know that once you’ve accepted your offer of admission, you’ll be excited to start a new stage of your life. But we also understand that you have much to do before September — and so many questions! How do I choose my courses? When do I pay my fees? What awards are available? How do I find housing? The Student Services and Registrar’s Office is here to guide you through the planning and preparation of arriving at the University, all the way through to graduation.
Please use this website as your first-stop resource. Throughout the summer we will continue to add timely information and resources to guide you on your journey, so check back often for updates.
