Canadian Secondary School
Refer to the Canadian Secondary School Qualifications and Course Equivalents chart in this bulletin for details on minimum admission requirements for Canadian secondary school applicants.

Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) / Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning
Excellent overall grade point average in an academic program is required for admission consideration. All prerequisites must be met at the Grade 12 U/M level and all supplementary or profile information (if required) must be presented. Two full CAAT semesters of an academic subject may be considered as equivalent to a Grade 12 U/M level prerequisite.
Applicants who have completed a two-year academic diploma may receive up to three full credits towards an arts, science, commerce/management program. Applicants holding a three-year academic diploma or a four-year degree may receive up to five credits towards a degree. Admission selection is competitive.
We also have specific transfer articulation agreements with some Ontario colleges:
• Faculty of Arts & Science [email protected]

UNIVERSITY TRANSFER APPLICANTSApplicants interested in transferring from recognized degree-granting postsecondary institutions, along with current University of Toronto students across all three campuses, must meet the minimum admission requirements for their program. Find requirements for your educational jurisdiction at future.utoronto.ca
Applicants are required to provide transcripts for all secondary and postsecondary level study completed. Admission consideration is based on the overall academic record, with an emphasis on the most recent (or highest) level of study completed, and results in prerequisite subjects.
Applicants who have completed studies beyond the minimum requirements at a recognized postsecondary institution may be granted transfer credits if admitted to a first-entry bachelor’s degree program. Transfer credits will be assessed after admission, and after the Transfer Credit Assessment application, if required, has been completed. Details will be provided after an offer of admission is made. Interviews may be required.
Some programs do not consider applications from students who have previously attended other postsecondary institutions. Please visit future.utoronto.ca for details.
Applicants who already hold a bachelor’s degree from another recognized postsecondary institution can only apply to a different field of study. For instance, students who have completed a degree in, or have majored in, economics, management, commerce or business, cannot complete a Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Administration at U of T. If admitted to a different program, these applicants will be granted a maximum of one year of transfer credits (five full credit courses). Applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree in Engineering are not eligible to apply for undergraduate studies at U of T Engineering.
Undergraduate degree holders who wish to take additional undergraduate courses, perhaps in order to qualify for graduate studies, may consider applying for Non-degree studies. Please note that it may not be possible to register as a Non-degree student in courses that are in high demand.

SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AIDThe University has comprehensive scholarship and financial aid programs that provide financial support and recognition for outstanding academic achievement at different levels of study. The University, and its colleges and faculties, award 5,000+ admission scholarships that total almost $23 million each year, along with 5,800 in-course scholarships. The University’s Policy on Student Financial Support states that no student admitted to a program at the University of Toronto will be unable to enrol or complete the program because they do not have sufficient funds. This commitment to students who are Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents or Protected Persons means that the University will supplement the funding provided by government sources. This financial assurance is called UTAPS, or University of Toronto Advanced Planning for Students. Learn more: uoft.me/faa
U of T Scholars ProgramThe University of Toronto Scholar Program recognizes outstanding students. In 2020, we offered approximately 1,000 admission awards to incoming first-year students, each valued at $7,500. All applicants are assessed automatically for these scholarships based on their academic performance.
President’s Scholars of ExcellenceApproximately 150 of the most highly qualified students applying to first year of direct-entry, undergraduate studies will be distinguished as President’s Scholars of Excellence.
This distinction includes a $10,000 entrance scholarship in first year; guaranteed access to part-time, on-campus employment during second year; and guaranteed access to an international learning opportunity during the student's undergraduate experience. Outstanding students are considered automatically for these scholarships.
National Scholarship ProgramThe National Scholarship recognizes Canadian secondary school students who demonstrate superior academic performance, original and creative thought, and exceptional achievement in a broad context. They excel in academic pursuits, demonstrate enthusiasm for intellectual exploration and have a strong involvement in the lives of their schools and communities. Each year approximately ten students are named National Scholars and ten are named Arbor Scholars.

Find requirements for your educational jurisdiction at future.utoronto.ca
Applicants are required to provide transcripts for all secondary and postsecondary level study completed. Admission consideration is based on the overall academic record, with an emphasis on the most recent (or highest) level of study completed, and results in prerequisite subjects.
Applicants who have completed studies beyond the minimum requirements at a recognized postsecondary institution may be granted transfer credits if admitted to a first-entry bachelor’s degree program. Transfer credits will be assessed after admission, and after the Transfer Credit Assessment application, if required, has been completed. Details will be provided after an offer of admission is made. Interviews may be required.
Some programs do not consider applications from students who have previously attended other postsecondary institutions. Please visit future.utoronto.ca for details.
Applicants who already hold a bachelor’s degree from another recognized postsecondary institution can only apply to a different field of study. For instance, students who have completed a degree in, or have majored in, economics, management, commerce or business, cannot complete a Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Administration at U of T. If admitted to a different program, these applicants will be granted a maximum of one year of transfer credits (five full credit courses). Applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree in Engineering are not eligible to apply for undergraduate studies at U of T Engineering.
Undergraduate degree holders who wish to take additional undergraduate courses, perhaps in order to qualify for graduate studies, may consider applying for Non-degree studies. Please note that it may not be possible to register as a Non-degree student in courses that are in high demand.

SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AIDThe University has comprehensive scholarship and financial aid programs that provide financial support and recognition for outstanding academic achievement at different levels of study. The University, and its colleges and faculties, award 5,000+ admission scholarships that total almost $23 million each year, along with 5,800 in-course scholarships. The University’s Policy on Student Financial Support states that no student admitted to a program at the University of Toronto will be unable to enrol or complete the program because they do not have sufficient funds. This commitment to students who are Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents or Protected Persons means that the University will supplement the funding provided by government sources. This financial assurance is called UTAPS, or University of Toronto Advanced Planning for Students. Learn more: uoft.me/faa
U of T Scholars ProgramThe University of Toronto Scholar Program recognizes outstanding students. In 2020, we offered approximately 1,000 admission awards to incoming first-year students, each valued at $7,500. All applicants are assessed automatically for these scholarships based on their academic performance.
President’s Scholars of ExcellenceApproximately 150 of the most highly qualified students applying to first year of direct-entry, undergraduate studies will be distinguished as President’s Scholars of Excellence.
This distinction includes a $10,000 entrance scholarship in first year; guaranteed access to part-time, on-campus employment during second year; and guaranteed access to an international learning opportunity during the student's undergraduate experience. Outstanding students are considered automatically for these scholarships.
National Scholarship ProgramThe National Scholarship recognizes Canadian secondary school students who demonstrate superior academic performance, original and creative thought, and exceptional achievement in a broad context. They excel in academic pursuits, demonstrate enthusiasm for intellectual exploration and have a strong involvement in the lives of their schools and communities. Each year approximately ten students are named National Scholars and ten are named Arbor Scholars. This scholarship requires a separate application, due in the fall of your final year of secondary school. Find out more and apply here: future.utoronto.ca/national-scholarship
Lester B. Pearson International ScholarshipWhile the National Scholarship Program is for Canadian students, international students studying in Canada can be nominated for the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship. Learn more at pearson.utoronto.ca
