• Your name

There are a number of reasons for these issues, please try the following before contacting our office:

Mobile browser: we have found that some aspects of our registration program don’t work on specific mobile browsers (including phone and tablet). We therefore recommend if you are using a mobile device and encounter an issue to first try using a desktop/laptop computer.

Safari and IE: these browsers are sometimes not supported by our registration system. If you are having issues please try using FireFox or Chrome first to see if the issue persists.

Didn’t click the “Add to Cart” button: in order to checkout you need to select the box beside the “Add to Cart” label for the program you are interested in. If you don’t select this and then select “Checkout” you will be taken to a blank cart and a $0.00 amount.

Used the Browser Buttons: using your browser buttons at any time in the registration system will automatically log you out. This is a security feature designed to protect yours, and your child’s, information. There are navigation buttons in the top menu for the system to allow you to navigate without using your browser buttons.

Used the Browser buttons during payment: doing this may have the issue where you pay but you are not registered for the program. Therefore we request that you do not use the browser buttons at all until your transaction has gone completely through and you are sent back to the registration system login screen.

Bursary error: please ensure that you have copied the bursary code exactly (without any additional spaces) and note that it is case sensitive. You also need to make sure you have selected the “Add to Cart” as above as well.

If your issue is not listed here then please send a detailed email (including a screenshot of the error or issue) to outreach@math.toronto.edu

At this point in time our payment partner (Moneris) is not setup to accept VISA Debit cards. What we recommend is finding someone who has a standard VISA, MasterCard or Amex card to complete the registration.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes some users.

Please note that our system does not email you a copy of your receipt automatically. Therefore, if you wish to have a copy of your receipt for your records we strongly recommend you either print a copy at the time of payment or save it as a pdf to your computer.

During certain times of the year our office is very busy and we have limited staff available to answer emails. Sometimes emails may take up to two weeks to receive a response.

If your question is urgent, or it has been longer than two weeks, please feel free to resend your email and we will attempt to answer it as soon as possible.

We thank you for your understanding and patience in this matter.

Please wait to hear back from our office BEFORE registering for the program. We will NOT provide refunds for bursary amounts.

We try to get back to bursary applicants within two weeks of receiving their application (and required documents) and a few spots are held in our programs for bursary students.

However, receiving a bursary does NOT guarantee you a spot in a program.

In addition, if you are applying for a bursary for one of our application based programs (such as Math Academy or the Canada Math Camp) you will have to wait to hear if you are accepted into that program before receiving information on your bursary application.

If you have not heard back regarding your bursary application after 2 weeks please send our office an email at outreach@math.toronto.edu requesting an update.

Our programs do not provide tutoring or tutors. 

If you are a student at UofT, please email our It’s All About Math Club at iaamuoft@gmail.com

Anyone else can email us directly at outreach@math.toronto.edu with a brief description of who you are and why you are interested in volunteering.
