Learn more about Student Groups and Getting Involved

The Computer Science Graduate Students (CSGSBS) is the official body representing computer science graduate students at the University of Toronto. We act as liaison between the students and the department and work to ensure that graduate student concerns are heard. We also hold a number of social events to strengthen the graduate student community.

In the past, CSGSBS has organized events such as weekly coffee breaks, pub nights, parties, movie nights, holiday events, and has also helped organize teams for various sports. Our club room is located on the 5th floor of the Bahen Centre for Information Technology (BA 5296). 

The Computer Science Student Union, or CSSU for short, represents over 1200 Computer Science students who are either taking a Computer Science course or are part of a Computer Science POSt at the University of Toronto St. George campus.

The Faculty of Arts & Science's First-Year Learning Communities (FLCs) are designed to improve the transitional experience for first-year students. Learn more about the Computer Science FLC.

We provide a supportive environment for our female students to learn and thrive. We are an informal group of female graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty members from the department (DCS). 
We have monthly lunches where we socialize and spend time together. During these meetings we often pick a topic of interest and discuss it amongst ourselves, or invite guest speakers to talk about an interesting topic or idea.
