The UTGSU has been campaigning for instituting Post-Residency Fees at U of T
for graduate students with a research component to their degree.
The term Post-Residency Fees often confuses members and we often get
questions, like: “Is UTGSU trying to institute a new fee for its members?” The
answer is, “No, not at all!” To clarify, the Civics Committee and the Research,
Education, Governance Committee of your Union have prepared a short
informational video available at: http://bit.ly/1gbSlUT
If you have further questions please contact civics@utgsu.ca.
