About the Doctoral Programs Handbook

This Handbook serves as an academic information guide and statement of the most important rules and regulations for students seeking to apply and those who are enrolled in a doctoral program at Bloomberg Nursing. It is published annually online. It outlines the rules, regulations, and academic curriculum to inform students throughout their enrolment and pursuit of their goals.

The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) Calendar is the official Academic Calendar for all graduate programs at the University of Toronto. The Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing is a graduate unit within SGS. General regulations found in the SGS calendar are deemed to be part of the policies and regulations of Bloomberg Nursing.

The academic information listed in this Handbook is applicable for the year(s) to which the Handbook applies. We reserve the right to change the content of courses, instructors and instructional assignments, enrolment limitations, prerequisites and corequisites, grading policies, academic policies, and timetables without prior notice. If the University or the Faculty must change the content of programs of study or withdraw them, all reasonable possible advance notice and alternative instruction will be given. The University will not, however, be liable for any loss, damages, or other expenses that such changes might cause.

Student Responsibility

Students are responsible for keeping familiar with the curriculum requirements and related regulations in the SGS Calendar and the Handbook. Students can seek guidance from Course Instructors, the Doctoral Programs Director, or the Assistant Dean, Registrarial and Student Services when in doubt as to any deadline or requirement.
