What is TMAPS?

TMAPS stands for the Toronto Metropolitan Association of Part-time Students . It is the central students’ union that represents all 16,000 continuing education, distance education, and part-time degree students and any student taking a Chang School course at Toronto Metropolitan University.

The students’ union is a membership-driven organization that is here to represent you, offer services to meet your student needs and build a community at Toronto Metropolitan University.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new students, as well as returning students, to Toronto Metropolitan University! We are excited to have you join our campus and look forward to meeting you very soon. As you are settling into your new academic year, feel free to contact us with any questions!
