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.

You must successfully complete the OSSD, including six 4U/M courses and all of the prerequisites for your programs, 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 reference number. The acknowledgement email will be sent within 2 business days of receiving your application.

York will begin assessing applicants and may make conditional offers of admission as applications are received. You are encouraged to present as strong an academic profile as possible. Application processing times vary depending on your 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.
