草榴2024新地扯一二 will make conditional offers of admission based on available Grade 11 and Grade 12 marks, provided that the OUAC record indicates enrollment in all required Grade 12 courses, including ENG4U. If a Grade 12 mark in a prerequisite subject is not available, we will use the mark in the corresponding Grade 11 course.

Remind your students to  and follow the prompts to officially accept their offers. Students with offers of admission to Engineering should check their application status through the Engineering Applicant Portal: .

Offers of admission are typically conditional upon a student鈥檚 final grades, along with submission of any outstanding documents. To check their conditions,  and then click on their target application. If you or your students have any questions about an offer鈥檚 terms or conditions, please contact the admitting faculty or campus directly.

Students should log into  and confirm their interest in residence before March 31 to be covered by our first-year residence guarantee. Students admitted to the Faculty of Arts & Science should log back into StarRez and rank their choices.

Students who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents must apply for a study permit. Their offer letter will include a letter that can be used to apply for a student visa through a Canadian embassy or consulate.

Most program areas allow students to design their own weekly schedules. Course selection occurs online and begins in July or August. Students will receive specific instructions on how and when to select their courses in the spring. In advance of this, Registrars will hold orientation sessions to clarify processes and misconceptions. Note that first-year Engineering students and students in the International Foundation Program do not choose courses and will be provided, instead, with a readymade class schedule.

UHIP is a mandatory health insurance plan for international students, and helps cover the cost of healthcare services delivered and billed in Canada. Enrolment in UHIP is automatic, with coverage charged directly to each student鈥檚 ACORN account balance. Learn more at .

The first fees instalment is normally due at the end of August or start of September. Each student will receive details during the summer, tailored to their program and, if applicable, courseload. Students may be required to pay a tuition deposit 鈥 this will be indicated on their offer page, along with the deposit deadline.

Students who will be living in residence typically move in over the Labour Day weekend (the first week of September). Incoming students should monitor their email regularly for logistical guidance and other updates from their Dean of Residence.

Advice for Students Who Are Exploring Their Options

The 草榴2024新地扯一二 continues to soar in global university rankings and is consistently ranked first in Canada. 

The university application process starts in the fall of the year before you intend to begin your studies. We encourage students to submit their application, and the appropriate application fee, well in advance of the deadlines. 

We encourage applicants to apply by November 7. Applying by our recommended application date ensures that applicants have enough time to complete all of the necessary next steps to be considered in all rounds of admission.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Early Application Date

While the November 7 recommended application date is new for Ontario high school applicants, it is not new to the rest of our applicants. Applicants from outside of Ontario have been encouraged to apply by November 7 for the past few years. 

We encourage applicants to submit the OUAC Undergraduate application by this date. Students are not required to have marks or supplemental applications completed at this time.

In previous years, we noticed that many Ontario students were applying as soon as they received their PINs鈥攕ome even applied using the old 105 application to get a head start. The November 7 date allows students to get a head start and gives them ample time to understand what next steps they will need to do. This is especially important for students applying to programs with supplemental applications. Submitting the application earlier gives applicants earlier access to prepare their supplemental applications.

It’s important to note that some programs have early recommended dates to submit supplemental information. For example, December 1 for Engineering and December 15 for other programs with supplemental applications

By submitting the OUAC application in November, students get earlier access to the next steps of their applications. They have the opportunity to submit supporting documents early and provide their supplemental applications earlier to the university.

We are expecting the first round of decisions to be released in late February. Submitting the OUAC Undergraduate application in November鈥攁nd submitting supplemental applications and supporting documents in December鈥攅nables the admissions committee to review completed files in time for the first round of decisions.

We will review all applications received by the application deadline, so long as all next steps are completed and any required documents have been submitted. If a student waits to submit an application until the final deadline, they may not have enough time to complete all of the next steps in order to be considered in our first round of admissions. Completed applications鈥攚ith all required documents submitted鈥攁re reviewed in each round based on the strength of the applicant’s record.

This is completely normal. In the first round of decisions, we are looking at whatever results are available at that point (completed grade 11 results, any completed grade 12 courses (either taken in the summer or at any time before their grade 12 year). Additional results (like second semester grade 12 marks) will be reviewed in subsequent rounds, once available. For applicants from an Ontario high school, this would require proof of enrolment in six grade 12 U/M courses, including English. Generally, this information is on the OUAC information we receive.

While some program areas make a large number of offers in the February round, generally our programs do not reach capacity in the first round of admission decisions. We continue to make offers throughout the winter & spring. We admit qualified applicants in each round based on the strength of their academic record and any applicable supporting documentation. Highly subscribed areas of study may have limited capacity in the later rounds of admission.
