Graduate student resources

In the Applied Health Sciences graduate programs, we want you to be successful.

Here is some useful faculty-specific program information to help ensure you stay on track in your studies.

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the resources on this site, including important dates and forms that you will need to complete.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies has information and resources to help you navigate becoming a successful new student.

Graduate programs in Applied Health Sciences offers a unique educational opportunity that emphasizes an individualized program of study. To help ensure you have all of the information you need to successfully complete your degree, please review your student handbook.

All MA/MSc and PhD students are expected to begin their Progress Report Form and submit it to the FAHS Graduate Studies Office located in STH 439 by March of the first year in the program.

Students are then expected to update the form in-person regularly as key milestones are met.

Note: Full-time MA/MSc and PhD students must maintain continuous registration in each term in the thesis course until all degree requirements have been fulfilled.

Financing your Education

There are a number of financial services and funding opportunities available to help you become a successful student.

Graduate Studies Financial Resources

Student Loans (OSAP)

As a graduate student, you can apply for the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program.
You can also choose to apply to OSAP as a full-time student.

*Notes:

As a graduate student, you need to apply for OSAP on a per term basis, not per year.

Your graduate and entrance fellowship is submitted by the student awards and financial aid office to OSAP on your behalf. Therefore, it is your responsibility to only claim what you expect to earn per term. (For example, if you are making $750, then you would claim $375 per term.) Failure to do so may impact the estimated amount OSAP will allocate for you.

Please be sure to read the application instructions carefully.

Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) Program 

Check out the OSAP Aid Program List for additional scholarships and bursaries you may want to apply for. 

OSAP inquiries can be addressed by contacting central@brocku.ca or by visiting Brock Central (Registrar’s Office).

As a graduate student, you may be eligible for financial support to attend conferences or receive reimbursement if you are required to travel as part of your graduate program. To determine if you qualify, please read the travel policy and application carefully on the Graduate Studies website.

There are a number of things you need to accomplish while working on your degree. To help you stay on schedule, a list of timelines is available in your student handbooks, while other information can be found here and in the quick links below.
