The best way to see our campus is to come down for a tour. Our friendly guides will provide you with a brief history of our College and then take you to some of our residence buildings, the dining hall, our student lounge and the Kelly Café. Tours begin just outside the Registrar’s Office in Brennan Hall and last about 45 minutes. If you need directions to Brennan Hall, simply arrive at 81 St. Mary Street and our Porter’s Desk will point you in the right direction.
All SMC Residence tours will be paused from mid-April through to mid-August.
For newly admitted students to SMC who would like a campus tour, please register for a tour with the Registrar’s Office. Their tours run Fridays at 3:30 p.m.
If you would like to book a U of T campus tour, please visit their website here.

Move In Information
While the details of Move In Day vary slightly each year, here is some basic information that will get you started in your preparation to arrive on campus. Move in Day is staggered with First Year students moving in earlier so that they can participate in Orientation Week. All first year students are encouraged to arrive between 9 AM – 3 PM on Sunday August 25. We invite parents to drop off their students and their belongings in the unloading areas and then to move their car to longer term parking at 121 St. Joseph’s Street (free for parents until 4 PM on August 25). Your Don will be hosting a first house meeting at 3:30 PM and then the Dean’s Office will be hosting a BBQ at 4:45. At 6 PM, the Residence Life staff will be hosting a Residence Orientation in the quad from 6 – 9 PM. More details will be emailed directly to students. Be sure to keep an eye on your uToronto email address for information!
Move in Day for 2024-2025 is August 25 for First Year Students and August 31 for Upper Year Students. Incoming residents who have accepted an offer should review information in Manage my Housing for more information.
