Offers of Admission

Basic Requirements for Admission

Some programs have a minimum required admission average of 73%; however, many programs require a greater admission average.

A minimum combined average of 70% is required for prerequisite courses in science and mathematics in certain faculties.

Students who do not have Calculus and Vectors 4U can take the replacement course at the University either the summer before or during their first term.

Failed and Repeated Courses

We use the highest grade. Therefore, if a course is failed and repeated, we take the higher of the 2 grades.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

We will issue conditional offers of admission starting at the end of November 2024 for fall 2025 to highly qualified applicants.

We will continue to issue offers of admission on a weekly basis to qualified applicants until the end of June. Please note that the requirements listed for these programs are minimum requirements only and are subject to change. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission.

Early offers are based on the average of five 3U/M grades or a combination of 3U/M and available 4U/M final grades. No offers are sent before February for Acting (BFA), Music (BMus) and Music and Science (5-year double degree).

From February to April, we calculate the average using the top 6 final 4U/M or 3U/M marks, including prerequisites.  A minimum of two 4U/M grades are use for this round of offers.
 
In our last round of offers in May and June, we calculate the average using the top 6 final or interim 4U/M, including prerequisites.  Refusals and alternate offers are only issued during this round.

All offers of admission are conditional. You must successfully complete a minimum of 6 eligible 4U/M courses, including prerequisite subjects of the requested program, obtain a specific admission average and present proof of your Ontario Secondary School Diploma or the equivalent before September. 

Details regarding offers of residence and scholarships will be sent with the offer of admission. You must respond before the date indicated in your offer of admission.
