Navi, short for navigator, is a chat-based virtual assistant for students wanting to learn more about the mental health supports available to them at the University of Toronto. Navi is an anonymous tool that provides students with information to help them navigate mental health resources and make decisions about seeking appropriate support. 

Visit uoft.me/navi to use the assistant.

Ongoing support is available over the phone in 146 languages. Immediate support is available over the phone in 35 languages and over chat in simplified Chinese, English, French and Spanish. Web option is also available on the MySSP.app website.

Visit Student Life - Support for when you Feel Distressed.

If the concerns are course-based, and are not readily addressed with the instructor, students can contact the Associate Director, MT Program. In many instances, these concerns are also brought to the attention of the CTL Associate Chair, Teacher Education.

If the concerns are related to experiences in a practicum setting, MT candidates are encouraged to contact their Faculty Advisor, or email: mtpracticum@utoronto.ca

When TCs prefer to share or disclose their experience or concern, rather than report it to an academic or practicum coordinator, TCs are invited to contact Máiri McKenna Edwards, who is the Equity, Diversity & Student Experience Coordinator for the CTL department.

If you are struggling to finish coursework for a particular course as a result of exceptional circumstances which you feel warrants extra time beyond the end of a course, you can apply for an extension using the Extension to Complete Coursework form, found online at the link below. Your request needs to be supported (and the form needs to be e-signed) by your instructor, so it is best to speak with your instructor before undertaking the process. If your instructor approves the extension and signs your form, you will need to email your completed, e-signed form to ctl.studentforms@utoronto.ca, and copy this email to the relevant Academic Coordinator (PJ, JI or IS). Course extension forms need to be submitted prior to the due date for grades to be submitted, which can be found on the Registrar’s Important Dates.  

Form: Coursework Extension Form (as a PDF)   

Please note that a course extension to complete course work provides you extra time. The extension does NOT provide you with continued instructional support from the course instructor. You are expected to complete your coursework independently. If you require academic writing support, you can make an appointment on the OISE Student Success Center website.   

The appeal process for a grade in a course is outlined on the School of Graduate Studies website. As noted on this website, TCs must file an appeal within eight weeks after the date of the decision being appealed. In general, the first step to an appeal process is attempting to resolve the matter with the instructor. If the TC is unable to resolve the issue with the instructor, and wants to move forward with a grade appeal, then the TC can move to the next level and discuss the matter with the Associate Director, MT Program.
