Academic Assistance and Sociology Program Questions

If you have a question related to your course content, you should feel free to contact the course instructor or TA either by email or by going to their office during office hours. Check the course syllabus first to be sure that the question isn't already answered there. You will also find contact information and office hours on the syllabus.

If you have questions or need help related to courses, programs, instructional issues, contact our department's undergraduate administrator, Donna Ragbir at sociology.undergraduate@utoronto.ca.

Advice for Undergraduates

If you want to meet other sociology students, consider connecting with USSU (Undergraduate Sociology Student Union). Devoted to enriching the Sociology undergraduate experience, USSU offers events during the academic year, ranging from academic lectures to pub socials, bridging the gap between students and faculty. Follow them on Twitter @USSU_UofT.

For overall help with developing the skills that you need for academic success, check out the Academic Success Centre which provides fantastic resources on topics ranging from time management and study skills to managing the stresses of living away from home (or not). Many students benefit from help developing their writing skills. For this, you should look to your college writing centres. These centres provide individualized and group appointments to work on writing skills for all disciplines.  You might also benefit from attending one or more of the workshops that the library presents on using library and on-line resources, and researching assignments.
