has moved to a fully electronic submission system.  Though fully
electronic, the applicant must still submit paper copies of their
application and official paper transcripts to the department (Ida)
by WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6TH.

NSERC has indicated that by early September, recorded tutorials
with voice over will be available on their website.


The application is available at the NSERC website:
http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/OnlineServices-ServicesEnLigne/Index_eng.asp

Once the application is completed and verified, the student will
click on the "Submit" button.


The process for referees (2) to be invited and complete their
reports is electronic.  Applicants will be asked to provide the
name and e-mail address of the two individuals they have selected
to complete the report.  The referee's submission deadline is
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6TH.


Official paper transcripts must be sent to Ida in the Math Graduate
Office, who will have the responsibility of uploading the
scanned, official and up-to-date transcripts to the application.
The deadline is WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6TH. Applicants must also
identify Ida as the University Designate so that she will receive
the appropriate invitation from NSERC to upload the transcript(s):


University Designate:        Ida Bulat ; ida@math.utoronto.ca



Please follow all instructions carefully and make sure that the
deadline is met.  Should you have any questions, please do
