Links & Resources

On July 1, 2009, York University launched the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS), combining the strengths of the Faculty of Arts and the Atkinson Faculty of Liberal & Professional Studies. Information and links found formerly on the Faculty of Arts and Atkinson Web sites should now be accessible from the LA&PS Web site.

We hope that you will get the information you need quickly and directly through this page. We have organized it into two sections: Student & Visitor Resources and Faculty & Staff Resources. Each section contains links to some of the most popular sites.

Thank you for your patience; please check back with us as we will continue to update this page.
