While we're deep into the admissions process—with additional rounds of admission decisions releasing soon—we wanted to take a moment to let you know what's coming up this spring at U of T. From supporting Black excellence in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine and health to the construction of Canada's largest urban geoexchange system at the heart of our St. George campus, it's a busy time at U of T—and all while we're preparing for the safe return to in-person campus activities.

We appreciate everything you're doing to help your students take their next steps, and we're here to offer our support. Your students can sign up for webcasts or webchats with us and we'd be happy to answer any questions they may have about our campusesprograms, and requirements. Also, a bit of exciting news: we're opening up in-person tours again this month at all three of our campuses (St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough). Students can now sign up to take a tour with us!

Applications & Admissions

Our top priority remains the wellbeing of our students, including our future students, and we continue to monitor global events and adjust our plans accordingly. You can always find our latest advising tips and resources on our School Counsellors page. Please be sure to check our Undergraduate Admissions Bulletins for all of our programs and their prerequisites, as well as our English Language Requirements page for the latest on the proficiency tests and qualifications that we accept.

We are aware that school boards around the world have been adjusting course delivery due to COVID-19. We will continue to monitor the impact on the school year, and we’ll be as flexible as possible throughout the admission process.
