The Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics is an astronomical research centre at the University of Toronto, based on the St. George campus. It is an extra-departmental unit affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Science. The institute was founded in 2008 with the help of endowed gifts to the University of Toronto from David M. Dunlap and J. Moffat Dunlap, using the proceeds from the sale of the David Dunlap Observatory. The Dunlap Institute is allied with and co-located with the University of Toronto's Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and with the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, and no longer has any association or connection to the David Dunlap Observatory.

The University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science (A&S) is the largest academic division of the University of Toronto and its primary undergraduate faculty on the St. George campus in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the most academically diverse division of the university, offering a large variety of programs in a broad range of subjects. The faculty is composed of seven affiliated colleges: Innis, New, St. Michael's, Trinity, University, Victoria, and Woodsworth. With more than 31,000 undergraduate and 4,700 graduate students, the Faculty of Arts and Science makes up over one third of the university's student population as a whole. The faculty is nearly as old as the university itself, beginning as the Faculty of Arts during the University of Toronto's inauguration in 1843. One of its founding colleges, Victoria University, predates the official opening of the university. The Faculty of Arts and Science represents over half of the student population on the St. George campus; it hosts 64 per cent of its undergraduates and about one third of graduates who pursue degrees in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. It has 800 professors who teach some 2,000 courses arranged in more than 400 undergraduate and 150 graduate programs hosted by 29 departments, 49 centres and institutes. In partnership with the School of Graduate Studies, the faculty hosts graduate programs offered on all three University of Toronto campuses.
