Foreign students are an essential feature of the University of Toronto's participation in international scholarship. They contribute to the international character of the University's research, and provide opportunities for the international transmission of knowledge through its teaching programs. The presence of outstanding students from all parts of the world in the University's undergraduate and graduate, professional, and research programs, helps to achieve the excellence the University seeks to assure for all its activities. On the University's campuses foreign students also make an important and positive contribution to the cultural life of the community and create lasting relationships of benefit to individuals as well as to the institution and the country generally. And finally, by enrolling foreign students the University of Toronto, as a now mature university in a well-developed country, has an opportunity to share its educational resources with less well developed countries whose institutions are still evolving. In light of these considerations, the Governing Council has adopted the Policy on Foreign Students that commits the University to enrolling a broad mix of foreign students in its programs, and that articulates the basic principles that will guide their admission to the University, arrangements for their financial support, right of access to academic courses and programs, and the provision of services to address their particular needs.
