Yorkville University provides academic accommodations and accessibility supports for students with permanent, episodic, or temporary disabilities or medical conditions, helping to create a learning environment in which disabilities are not a barrier to completion of courses and programs. We do this, in part, by removing barriers to access, deploying technologies that facilitate access for students with disabilities, and providing academic accommodations.

Our Accessibility and Academic Accommodations office is available on-campus (Ontario) and online (Zoom or Phone) to assist students and faculty with developing an accessible learning environment.

A team of Career Services Advisors offers one-on-one and group sessions, plus, webinars on several relevant career development topics, including career exploration, resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, researching the labour market, and more. Career Services Advisors also maintain our YU Job Board, provide advice for finding part-time jobs, offer self-help resources, and host webinars and employer information sessions. The overall goal of this service is to help students identify the multiple career paths their program/degree might lead to, supporting students to find jobs and effectively manage, grow, and develop their careers.

International students also get free access to Devant’s career support portal — home to their Get Hired Master Class, weekly live workshops, live Q&A with immigration lawyers, AI-driven resume builders, mock interview tools, and a whole lot more.

Ontario Transit Information

TTC

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) offers a monthly Metropass for post-secondary students at a discounted price. A TTC Metropass allows you to travel on TTC vehicles (Subway, Streetcar, Bus, and WheelTrans) anytime and for any length of time for the duration of the month.

 

How do you get a TTC Metropass?

  • Step 1: Obtain the following: proof of enrollment letter, current student card confirming that you are an eligible student enrolled in a full-time or part-time degree granting program, and a piece of government issued photo identification.
  • Step 2: Bring the above items to the TTC Photo Centre at Bathurst Subway Station (located on Subway Line 2, one stop east of Bloor-Yonge Station), and have your photo taken for a TTC Student Photo Identification Card. For the most up-to-date cost of the TTC Student Photo Identification Card, please check https://www.ttc.ca/Fares-and-passes/Fare-information/FAQ-for-Post-Secondary-Students. You must always travel on the TTC with your TFS Student Card AND your TTC Student Card!

Hours of Operation for Bathurst Station Photo Centre:

  • Monday-Friday: 3pm-7pm
  • Saturday: 10am-2pm
  • Sundays and Statutory holidays: Closed

For the most up-to-date Hours of Operation, please check
https://www.ttc.ca/customer-service/TTC-Bathurst-Station-Photo-ID-Office

Bathurst Station is not an accessible subway station. If you are traveling with a mobility device or have difficulty accessing Bathurst Photo ID Centre, please contact Customer Service at 416-393-4636 (weekdays, 8:00am – 5:00pm, closed holidays) in advance for assistance.

PRESTO Card

If you find that your transit costs could be less than what a monthly TTC Metropass is worth, consider purchasing a PRESTO card. PRESTO cards can be manually or automatically loaded with funds from your bank account and deducted according to how many trips you take. To pay a student fare, you will need to set a concession on your PRESTO card, which can be done at the Customer Service Centre at Davisville Subway Station (Subway Line 1) – 1900 Yonge Street. Bring your TTC Student ID Card (see above) and your TFS Student Card.

You are welcome to contact student services if you have any questions about transit and transit fares in Toronto.

British Columbia Transit Information

The province of British Columbia currently does not currently offer Yorkville University Students transit discounts. 

The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) strives to foster a community that is based on trust, mutual understanding, respectful communication, and behaviour where everyone has a voice and is treated respectfully. If you have questions or concerns about your rights as a student or you need help in a situation involving someone from the school community, please reach out.
