Online Application Procedure

Please follow these instructions carefully.  At the end of the instructions is a link to an online application form. Supporting documents can be uploaded directly to your application once you have paid the application fee. This includes your CV and Letter of Intent. Your referees will also be automatically sent an email at the address you provide in your application, with a Reference form attachment, and will be able to submit the form and a supporting letter directly to your application through a secure link provided in the email generated by the application system.

Applications to the Graduate Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) through the online admissions application which is housed on a secure server in the University of Toronto.  The Institute of HPME will consider your application only after you have entered your personal and academic information in the online application, submitted the application fee and mailed a complete package of your supporting documentation and a printout of your application information.

Once you access the SGS online admissions application and enter your contact information an Applicant Identification Number and a password will be emailed to you.  You can leave and return to your application at any point until you move to the payment stage.  At that point, you can return to check on the status of this application including whether we have received your supporting documents.

Payment of your application fee must be received by the School of Graduate Studies before we will consider your application.  You may pay online by VISA or Mastercard.  This payment method is secure as the transaction is handled by Mirapay, a third party authorized by VISA and Mastercard.  Mirapay provides the School of Graduate Studies with payment confirmation only. SGS and the University of Toronto will not have access to your credit card information.  (Please note that the process requires that popup blockers on your web browser be disabled.)

If you are unable to pay by credit card you may print an invoice from the application and mail it with a certified cheque to the School of Graduate Studies.
