    Admission Decisions

    • We will make conditional offers of admission throughout the year on the basis of your available Grade 11 and 12 (or equivalent) marks; this assessment is possible provided your record shows that you are enrolled in all required Grade 12 (or equivalent) courses. If a Grade 12 mark in a prerequisite subject is not available, we will use the mark in the corresponding Grade 11 course for early offers of admission.  
    • Some of our admission categories may fill up early. Preference is given to students with the best overall qualifications, with emphasis on the results of the most recent two years of study, including marks in prerequisite courses, and the strength of the supplemental application, where applicable.
    • If you selected the Computer Science or Rotman Commerce admission categories, you will have the option of selecting a second admission category for consideration on the JOIN U of T portal. Selecting a second admission category does not affect eligibility for your first-choice category. Admission is subject to space availability and will be evaluated after all first-choice applicants have been considered. Please note: Choosing an alternate admission category does not guarantee admission to your second-choice program.  

    English Language Proficiency

    • Depending on your background, you may be required to provide proof of English facility and academic records from studies completed outside of Ontario
