Admission averages are based on your top six 4U/M marks. Minimum admission requirements:

• 65% for most programs,
• 70% for Business Administration, Computer Science Co-Op, Psychology and Social Work
• 75% for Biology

Failed and Repeated Courses

We do not count failed courses. We select the higher grade from repeated courses for inclusion in the admission average calculation.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

If you attend a semestered school, you may receive an early conditional offer once your grades become available, if you fulfill the following criteria:

• you completed at least three 4U/M courses with an overall average equal to, or better than, the program cut-off and
• you are enrolled in a sufficient number of courses in order to complete at least six 4U/M courses by the end of June.

Note: If you are marginally below the program cut-off, but your overall average in Grade 11 and 12 courses is 70% or higher, you may be considered for an early offer of admission.

If you attend a non-semestered school, you may receive an early conditional offer once the Office of Admissions receives interim grades for at least six 4U/M courses showing an interim average that is equal to, or greater than, the program cut-off.

If you do not receive an early conditional offer of admission, you will be considered on an individual and ongoing basis, as additional marks become available. If you are not offered admission to your preferred program, you will automatically be considered for admission to an alternative program, provided you meet the university entrance requirements. Algoma University has rolling admission; therefore, applications for September 2025 will continue to be received and processed until the start of the semester.

Basic Requirements for Admission

Ontario high school students must present the OSSD and complete six 4U/M courses. All required courses will be included in the calculation of your overall admission average.

Failed and Repeated Courses

We will consider the higher grade of the 2 attempts.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

We will begin to issue a select number of offers in December and will continue to make offers of admission through to May. Scholarship and co-op offers will accompany offers of admission.

A select number of offers are issued in December and are based on a combination of Grade 11 and Grade 12 results. To be eligible for an early offer, you must have 1 final Grade 12 result at the 4U/M level and 5 Grade 11 U/M level credits. Averages are in the high 80s or 90s.

The first major round of admission offers to Ontario applicants is in February. Admission averages are calculated using a minimum 3 first-semester 4U/M finals, with registration in 3 additional 4U/M credits, including prerequisites. If you are in a non-semestered school, we will use 6 midterm grades at the 4U/M level, including prerequisites.

The final round of admission offers happens in May. If you do not receive an offer in February, or if you are still in studies and received an alternate program offer, we will automatically reassess you for eligibility for your preferred program in May. We will continue to make offers based on final grades, as well as summer school grades, provided space in programs is available.

You can expect to receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest choice listed for Brock is considered first when more than 1 Brock program is indicated on your application. If you are not eligible for the first choice, consideration will be given to subsequent choices in the order of preference you indicated. If you apply to only 1 Brock program and do not qualify, in most cases, consideration will be given for an alternative and related program. In most cases if you apply for, but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non co-op program.

New Programs

• Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (BEnt)*
• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) with RN Prescribing
• Bachelor of Engineering major in Systems Security Engineering
• Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management combined honours with Communication and Media Studies

*Prospective students are advised that the program is subject to approvals

Basic Requirements for Admission

For admission to undergraduate programs, Ontario students must have the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/M courses. 4U English is recommended. EAE4U will be treated as equivalent to ENG4U. 4U/M credits for co-op courses will not be considered as part of the 6 courses.

Higher averages are required for admission to programs for which the demand for places by qualified applicants exceeds the number of places available. The overall average required for admission is determined each year on a program by program basis. All programs have limited enrollment.

Admission is not guaranteed and all requirements are subject to change. The admission average required for entry to the co-op option of the programs listed below may be higher than the cut-off range listed for the program itself.

More about admission to Carleton

Failed and Repeated Courses

We will use the highest grade to calculate the average.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

We make offers of admission on a rolling basis.

Each time we receive grades from the OUAC, we re-assess to determine eligibility.

For programs with additional admission requirements (Architectural Studies, Industrial Design, Music, Nursing with RN Prescribing, and Social Work) that require additional information (e.g., portfolios, interviews, auditions), admission decisions will be made after the portfolio or supplementary application deadline.

If you apply to any of the specialty programs and plan to submit an English-language test score, scores are due on or before the portfolio or supplementary application deadlines.

Note: Most offers of admission are conditional. Once we receive your final grades, we will reassess your application to ensure that it still meets the requirements for the program and that you have received the OSSD. If you have not met the conditions, we will withdraw the offer of admission. However, where possible, we will attempt to provide an alternate offer of admission.

If you have been admitted to Carleton with an admission average of 85% or better, you will be automatically considered for one of our Entrance Scholarships. The admission average is calculated based on the high school grades submitted in support of the application, including any required prerequisite courses.

Notes:

• If you were given a scholarship offer based on early grades, and your admission average is higher when we receive your midterm grades in May, you will have your scholarship adjusted upward, if applicable.
• If your midterm average is lower than the average calculated from early grades, you will keep the original scholarship offer.
• Scholarships are not reassessed based on the grades received in June or July.
• The Entrance Scholarship offer is valid as long as you remain admissible to the chosen program.

Visit our website to view admission requirements by program, including supplementary forms.

All offers are conditional upon completion of the OSSD, required courses for your program of interest, and a final admission average as outlined in your offer.

All admission conditions must be fulfilled by August 14, 2027.

Supplemental Application Forms 

We recognize that non-academic factors play an important role in your life. High school applicants may choose to submit one or both of the following forms:

• Student Profile Form (SPF): This is your opportunity to tell Admission Services about activities that demonstrate leadership and citizenship qualities, and to outline factors beyond your control that have affected your academic performance, such as illness or extenuating circumstances.
• Supplementary Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF-D): If you feel your admission average does not reflect your true academic ability as a result of a disability, you are encouraged to complete this form.

If your admission average in May does not meet the cut-off for the program you have applied to, we may consider these forms along with academics if your average falls within a discretionary range of the final cut-off. Submission is optional but strongly encouraged.

If you are applying to the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program or the Associate Diploma in Turfgrass Management, you need to submit the Background Information Form as part of your application.  You can learn more about these mandatory forms on our website.

Failed and Repeated Courses

The University of Guelph will use the highest grade reported from a Ministry-approved institution for any repeated courses.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

If you are applying directly from high school, you will be considered for admission on an ongoing basis, beginning in November. Offers will be released on an ongoing basis from November to May. Exceptions: Offers to the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program will be made from late-April to mid-May.)

Alternate Offers

There are a few scenarios where we will automatically consider you for an alternate program in the case that we are unable to offer you admission to your first-choice program. Visit our Alternate Offers page to learn more about alternate offers of admission.

Wilson College of Leadership and Civic Engagement

The Wilson College Leadership and Civic Studies (WCLCS) program is Canada’s only Combined Honours degree that has students engage with real-life issues and learn to think critically and creatively about our collective future.

As a small cohort, students can expect an interdisciplinary approach to civic studies that combines topics in the humanities and social sciences with an exploration of diverse models of leadership. Our program integrates experiential learning, research, practical application and public engagement as we build our students’ understanding of how to foster an inclusive, ethical and sustainable civic culture in Canada and beyond.

Bachelor of Health Sciences (Integrated Rehabilitation and Humanities)

The new Level 2 program brings humanities education offered by the Faculty of Humanities and combines it with the clinical knowledge of rehabilitation. This will create a unique undergraduate program that is focused on training empathetic professionals and engaged citizens.

In this program, just over half of the content will be offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences; just over one-third by the Faculty of Humanities; and the remaining one-sixth from other university courses to fulfill the learning outcomes of the program. With this structure, students in the BHSc (Integrated Rehabilitation and Humanities) will encounter strong experiential learning components, options for clinical research and opportunities to participate in community engagement.

Faculty of Social Sciences: Dual Law Program (Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Law Degree)

The new Level 2 program offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences will allow students to earn a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science from McMaster and a Bachelor of Law (LLB) from the University of Birmingham, one of the United Kingdom’s leading law schools and a member of the prestigious Russell Group.

This 6-year pathway offers students a unique academic experience across 2 globally recognized institutions. Students will complete their first 2 years at McMaster, building a strong foundation in Political Science and preparing for legal studies. They will then spend 3 years at the University of Birmingham completing their LLB, before returning to McMaster for a final year of study focused on transitioning into the Canadian legal system, building connections within the Hamilton legal community, and preparing for Canadian accreditation. For more information: McMaster/Birmingham Honours BA + LLB Degree Option - Political Science

STEP:

The Summer Transition through English Prep (STEP) program is an intensive 6-week academic English bridging program designed for English-Language Learners who wish to pursue their undergraduate studies at McMaster University and almost meet the university’s language proficiency requirements. During the STEP program, students will develop the academic English skills necessary for a successful transition in September, into their first-year undergraduate program.

Basic Requirements for Admission

If you have six Grade 12 U/M (4U/M) midterm grades or 3 final Grade 12 U/M (4U/M) grades, you will be considered for admission on a rolling basis beginning in February 2027. To be eligible, you must have six Grade 12 U/M courses, completed or in progress, including any program-specific requirements. Your application will be reviewed again once your second-semester midterm grades are received.

Note: Co-op courses are not included in any admission or final admission average calculations.

Admission to all programs requires the completion of English (ENG4U).

Failed and Repeated Courses

For students who have repeated up to 2 courses, the highest mark reported will be used in the calculation of the admission average. Students repeating more than 2 courses, or an individual course 3 or more times, may be asked to provide a letter explaining the need for the repeats. This information may be considered when determining admission. Courses completed after June 30 will not be included in the admission average calculation.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

Be sure to check the university's Admissions Tool for information and updates about the admission process, estimated cut-offs, enrollment targets, application deadlines and more. McMaster will begin making offers of admission at the end of February until early May on a rolling basis, based on a minimum of 3 final 4U/M grades and registration in sufficient 4U/M courses to a total of 6; or 6 interim and/or final 4U/M grades, including any required courses.

All offers are conditional upon completing the OSSD with at least six 4U/M courses and an acceptable final admission average, which will be specified in the offer of admission.

Notes:

1. Most offers to the By-Selection Programs will be made in May. All of these programs require supplementary application information (except Midwifery, where an interview is part of the application process). Contact McMaster for details about application deadlines, timing of offers and more.
2. We do not automatically make alternative offers of admission. Instead, we encourage you to apply to all of the McMaster programs you are interested in (up to 3). We will give full consideration to each program selection.
3. We may not accept your application if you do not pay the OUAC application fee by the program deadline date.

Bachelor of Community Planning

Nipissing’s new Bachelor of Community Planning will prepare graduates with the knowledge and practical skills needed to address current and future planning challenges, with a focus on small to mid-sized, northern and Indigenous communities. The program will emphasize sustainable, ethical planning that respects the environment, land and diverse community perspectives, including Indigenous knowledge and rights. Students will gain hands-on experience through internships, studio courses and a capstone project supporting a strong transition to professional practice. Graduates will be well positioned to contribute to resilient, sustainable communities and pursue a pathway toward becoming professional planners.

A minimum overall average of 70% is required on your best six 4U/4M courses including prerequisites.

Prerequisites include ENG4U; 4U Math; SCH4U and one of SBI4U, SPH4U or SES4U.

Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science)

The BSc in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program where students will build fundamental scientific knowledge in biology, chemistry, geography, physics and earth sciences, mathematics and data sciences. This program supports advanced scientific and quantitative understanding of the environment, environmental problems and their solutions. It has been developed as a response to the immediate need for action on climate change and meaningful collaboration with government, industry and Indigenous communities. This program will provide students with foundational training to think differently about the nature of environmental problems and how to consider alternative ways of studying and resolving these problems from across the sciences.

A minimum overall average of 70% is required on your best six 4U/4M courses including prerequisites.

Prerequisites include ENG4U; one of MCV4U or MHF4U; SCH4U and one of SBI4U, SPH4U or SES4U.

Nous enverrons dès la fin du mois de novembre 2026 les lettres d’admission conditionnelle pour le trimestre d’automne 2027 aux candidates et candidats hautement qualifiés.

L’envoi des offres d’admission aux personnes qualifiées se poursuivra chaque semaine jusqu’à la fin juin. Il est à noter que les exigences énumérées pour ces programmes sont les exigences minimales et qu’elles pourraient être modifiées. Le fait d’avoir la moyenne minimale ne garantit pas l’admission.

Les premières offres d’admission sont basées sur la moyenne de cinq notes aux cours 3U/M ou une combinaison de notes finales aux cours 3U/M et 4U/M. Aucune offre n'est envoyée avant février pour les cours de théâtre (BFA), de musique (BMus) et de musique et sciences (double diplôme de 5 ans).

De février à avril, nous calculons la moyenne à partir des six meilleures notes finales aux cours 4U/M ou 3U/M, y compris les cours préalables. Nous utilisons au moins deux notes aux cours 4U/M pour cette ronde d’offres d’admission.

Durant la dernière ronde, en mai et juin, nous calculons la moyenne à partir des six meilleures notes finales aux cours 4U/M, y compris les cours préalables. Les refus et les offres d’admission à un autre programme sont envoyés uniquement pendant cette ronde.

Les premières offres d'admission sont basées sur la moyenne des notes de cours 3U/M ou selon une combinaison de notes finales de cours 3U/M et 4U/M. Ces offres ne s'appliquent pas aux programmes ayant des exigences particulières (tests de langue, portfolios, audition, etc.). Les exigences minimales énumérées pourraient être modifiées pour ces programmes. Le fait d'avoir la moyenne minimale ne garantit pas l’admission.

Les offres d'admission sont conditionnelles. Les candidates et les candidats doivent avoir réussi un minimum de six cours admissibles (4U/M), y compris les cours préalables exigés par le programme demandé, maintenir la moyenne d'admission spécifiée sur l'offre et présenter une preuve de réussite du diplôme d'études secondaires de l'Ontario ou l'équivalent avant le mois de septembre.

Dans le cas où les candidates et les candidats ne peuvent être admis au programme choisi, il est possible qu'elles ou ils reçoivent une offre pour une admission à un autre programme, selon les disponibilités de ce programme et ses critères d'admission.

Tous les détails concernant les offres de résidence et de bourses seront envoyés avec l'offre d'admission. Les candidates et les candidats doivent répondre avant la date indiquée dans leur offre d'admission.

Smith Engineering is excited to anounce 3 new direct-entry programs for Fall 2026. These new pathways streamline the academic experience by allowing students to enter their chosen discipline in their first year:

• Smith Engineering – Direct Entry Chemical Engineering (Program Code QEH)
• Smith Engineering – Direct Entry Civil Engineering (Program Code QEN)
• Smith Engineering – Direct Entry Mining Engineering ( Program Code QEV)

All offers of admission made to Ontario high school students by Queen’s University, prior to receiving final grades and completing the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), are conditional. Decisions can be based on final Grade 11 results (with registration in appropriate Grade 12 courses), final first semester Grade 12 results and/or Grade 12 interim results.

Basic Requirements for Admission

The OSSD and six 4U/M courses, including English 4U, are required. Please review the specific program requirements for more details, as some programs require additional courses at the U-level. Average calculation is based on prerequisite subjects, plus the next best 4U/M courses, for a total of 6 courses.

Note:

• Students in francophone schools may offer EAE4U or FRA4U in place of ENG4U.
• The Engineering admission average is calculated using only the 5 prerequisite courses.

A high school transcript is just 1 piece of information we use when making an admission decision. Each applicant to Queen’s has a unique To Do List, detailing exactly what is needed to complete their application. Students can see their To Do List (and the due dates) on their SOLUS Student Centre. We will send students SOLUS access information after they apply.

Failed and Repeated Courses

Ontario universities support full disclosure of all marks achieved in all attempts at a high school course. At Queen’s, all undergraduate programs will use the most recent grade achieved when calculating the admission average.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

Admission decisions will be made once all required documentation is submitted to Undergraduate Admission and Recruitment. March 31 is the deadline to submit all documents including English test scores and transcripts for students studying outside of Ontario (not including the Supplementary Application). Queen’s receives Ontario high school grades from the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) by April 30.

Admission decisions will be made on an ongoing basis from early November to mid-May. Ontario high school students are required to respond to offers of admission by June 1.

Alternative Offers

Queen’s University does not make alternative offers of admission. Applicants are considered only for the program(s) to which they have applied (or amended) through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre by the published deadlines. Students should ensure all program choices are listed on their application.

Le processus de demande d’admission au CMR est indépendant de celui du Centre de demande d’admission aux universités de l’Ontario. Les changements apportés aux dates d’offre d’admission aux universités de l’Ontario ne concernent pas le CMR.

Toutes demandes d’admission sont faites au site Web des Forces armées canadiennes. Nous vous informerons de la décision du comité de sélection vers la mi-mai au plus tard.

Vous pouvez suivre en français et en anglais tous les programmes menant à l’obtention de baccalauréats. Les disciplines au programme sont choisies en fonction de leur importance pour les futurs officiers des Forces canadiennes. Dans les programmes de sciences et de génie, une grande partie du temps est consacrée aux arts, et dans le programme d’arts, une grande partie du temps est consacrée aux mathématiques et aux sciences.

Basic Requirements for Admission

All Ontario high school applicants are required to present six 4U/M courses, including ENG4U and all prerequisites.

Failed and Repeated Courses

While recognizing that there may be valid reasons to repeat a course, the U of T reserves the right to give preference to students whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

Depending on the faculty, the program of study, the campus and your academic record, conditional offers of admission based on final 3U/M and interim or final 4U/M results will be made during admission rounds occurring between mid-February and late May. Offers will be made subject to space availability.

All offers of admission are conditional upon final results and completing the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Basic Requirements for Admission

All programs at TMU have academic requirements. Some programs require more:

• Grades-Only programs select students on the basis of academic performance.
• Grades-Plus programs select students on the basis of academic performance plus non-academic requirements, such as auditions, interviews, portfolios, essays, etc. If distance does not permit travel to our campus, selection methods may include online interviews or video auditions. Non-academic requirements are generally due by the Guaranteed Consideration Date (February 1). However, it is important that you do not submit non-academic requirements until after you have actually submitted your application for admission and have received your TMU Student Number.

Minimum Admissio Requirements (subject to change):

• Completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
• 6 Grade 12 U/M courses with a minimum overall average of 70%.
• All programs have prerequisite subject requirements. Grades required for admission are determined on the basis of competition each year.

TMU receives more applications than spaces available. Possession of the minimum requirements, averages and/or grades does not guarantee admission. Due to competition, admission is offered to the best-qualified candidates. Actual grade ranges required for fall 2027 admission/wait list consideration will be determined as grades become available. Applicants educated outside of Ontario are required to present the equivalent of the Ontario requirements. TMU reserves the right to determine equivalency at its sole discretion.

TMU may use Grade 11 results in the early admission selection process. You must be enrolled in, currently completing or have completed your program’s admission requirements at the time you apply.

All fall 2027 applicants, including those given an early or conditional Offer of Admission, are required to successfully complete all admission requirements by June 30, 2027 (unless otherwise stated). In many cases, this will exclude the possibility of using summer school, night school, virtual school and/or distance education courses completed after this date to meet admission requirements. However, some TMU programs may consider extensions beyond June 30, 2027.

Read more about admission requirements.

Failed and Repeated Courses

We will calculate your overall average using the final marks from your best 6 Grade 12 U/M courses, which may include repeated/upgraded course marks.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

February 1, 2027, is the Guaranteed Consideration Date for all programs.

Subject to space availability in programs, applications, amendments and supporting documents may be reviewed after the Guaranteed Consideration Date for fall admission. Some part-time undergraduate programs also accept applications for the winter and spring terms. Some full-time programs may accept applications for the winter term from international students. Visit our Application Dates page for details.

We anticipate that the majority of decisions will be made between February and the end of May 2027, based on application processing timeframes and timelines for evaluating non-academic requirements.

Admission averages presented on OUInfo are estimates only and are subject to change. Find further information in TMU's Undergraduate Calendar(s).

Basic Requirements for Undergraduate Admission

Ontario high school students must present the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and complete 6 grade 12 4U/M courses. The top 6 courses will be used in the calculation of a student's overall admission average. All programs require a minimum admission average (typically 70%), which may change from year to year, depending on the number of applicants and available seats. A secondary average may be used for specific programs which require academic strength in specific subjects. For example, Nursing applicants have a secondary average requirement which includes Chemistry and Biology course grades.

For program-specific admission requirements, please refer to the UWindsor viewbook, program listing or academic calendar.

For consideration: International applicants are required to have a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) to support their study permit application. To receive a PAL, students must first confirm their offer of admission and pay an international tuition fee deposit.

Failed and Repeated Courses

The highest achieved grade for a repeated course will be used in the average calculation.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

UWindsor makes admission decisions for most programs from early November to July. Admission to programs that require the completion of supplemental applications or auditions will be considered after these activities are completed. If you need to complete a supplemental application, you will be alerted when your OUAC application is received. All Group A applicants have until the common response deadline (June 1, 2027), to accept their offer of admission.

Depending on the program, early admission may be provided based on a minimum 80% in final Grade 11 (3U/M) marks, and registration in a minimum of 6 Grade 12 (4U/M) courses, including prerequisites.

Consideration for provisional admission from late January through June is based on a combination of final Grade 11 marks and final or in-progress Grade 12 marks.

Provisional admission requires final grades in a minimum of three 4U/M courses and registration in at least 6 including all 4U prerequisites. Provisional offers will be conditional upon completion of the OSSD. For admission purposes, the average of a minimum of three 4U/M courses, regardless of the number completed or in progress, will be calculated.

If you are not considered for early admission, you will be considered for provisional admission based on the average of your best six 4U/M courses, interim or final, following receipt of interim (late-April) and/or final grades.

If you are not accepted into the program of your choice at UWindsor, you will automatically be considered for alternatives. Alternate offers of admission are typically given beginning in March. We automatically re-assess applicants for their preferred program(s) as new mid-term or final grades are received.

York University Announces Plans for School of Medicine

York University is moving forward with plans to establish a new School of Medicine. With the Government of Ontario’s announcement to support further development and planning for a new school, we are accelerating the pace to new medical doctor programs in the fastest growing region in Ontario.​

​The community will be our campus. Founded on a patient-centred, community-based approach, we envision a school that will prepare the next generation of primary care physicians—trained to leverage the most recent digital health technologies and to work collaboratively within inter-professional health care teams at diverse learning sites. ​

Learn more about the School of Medicine

Basic Requirements for Admission

York gives admission consideration to applicants who successfully present academic credentials earned at recognized/accredited institutions around the world.

For Ontario high school students, the minimum admission requirement is the completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent and six 4U/M courses, including ENG4U. Students may also be required to fulfill Faculty or program-specific prerequisites. Francophone applicants may present FRA4U for applicable French programs.

In addition to the successful completion of the above requiements, you must also complete any required prerequisites for your program, and maintain the average used for conditional admission.

Note: Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the university.

A review of an applicant’s holistic academic profile, from high school to the present, is undertaken when making admission decisions. Possession of the minimum requirements or admission average ranges that are listed online or within university publications should not be viewed as a guarantee of admission.

When making holistic assessments, we may consider a variety of aspects, including consistency of academic results over multiple years, results in specific course prerequisites, repeated course attempts and external test scores.

Certain programs may also require supplemental materials or activities (e.g., portfolio review) and generally, transcripts showing complete high school and postsecondary attendance will be required.

Failed and Repeated Courses

York’s policy on repeated courses: Repeated courses are accepted. Admissions will consider the course with the highest grade, which may not necessarily be the most recently taken course. The Schulich School of Business reserves the right to review each situation on an individual basis.

York’s policy on failed courses: Failed courses will be considered. Admissions will review the course with the highest grade.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

After applying to the undergraduate program, you will receive an acknowledgement email from York with your York University student number. The acknowledgement email will be sent within 2 business days of receiving your application. You can use your student number to log into York's applicant portal MyFile to track your application status.

York will begin assessing applicants and may make conditional offers of admission as applications are received. Application processing times vary depending on the application type. It usually takes 4 to 8 weeks for your application to be processed and for a decision to be made.

York will consider 3U/M courses for initial admission purposes. Qualified applicants may be considered for alternative programs in cases where they do not meet the admission requirements of their original choice, or where their original program choice has filled.
