Contact Student Support & Advising

Beginning January 22, 2024, new international students will require an attestation letter from the province or territory in which they plan to study with every new study permit application. York University will provide important information and updates as they become available. Students can also visit the Study Permit FAQs for more information and ongoing updates. Current international students in Canada will not need an attestation letter for study permit renewals.

Advisors at Student Support & Advising provide assistance and guidance to students seeking information on admissions inquiries, your student record, your student account and financial aid matters.

We are here to help you:

For course-related inquiries, please contact your Faculty's Academic Advising office.
