GRADUATE STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION (GSA)
The GSA is the representative student organization for the graduate population at York. The GSA has made low-cost extended health coverage available to all graduate students, as well as a number of grants and funds to which graduate students may apply. The GSA represents graduate students at Senate and numerous other Faculty of Graduate Studies committees. The GSA produces a handbook annually which will be available early in the fall term. The handbook contains a wealth of useful information regarding York and the surrounding area. Please visit the GSA Offices at Suite 325, Student Centre Complex.
EMAIL AND COMPUTING SERVICES
Email
Students must set up a York email account for all departmental emails. This can be done online or in person by visiting the Computing Commons at the William Small Centre.
NOTE: All official communications from the Faculty of Graduate Studies, the Graduate Program Offices, or any other University office will only be sent to official York University e-mail addresses. If a graduate student misses information because he/she has not yet opened up a York University e-mail account, the responsibility will rest with the student. Students will be expected to check their York account on a regular basis for official communications.
Computers
A computer with internet connection is available for student use in the Student Lounge (CFT 201). Note: this computer does not include a printer. However, there are numerous computer labs with printing and internet capabilities located throughout campus.
For more information on labs, software downloads, internet connections and more, please visit the Computing Services Website or stop by the Computing Commons at the William Small Centre.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
The Program provides editing suites (for film, and digital editing) for exclusive use by graduate students. Production equipment, a soundstage, foley rooms, editing suites, transferring facilities, etc., are provided for course work and thesis projects only. These facilities are not available for other projects in which students may be involved. Production facilities are limited and we must prioritize their use.
For further details, please see Production Information.
