September 2024

As a new school year begins, the excitement and potential for fresh beginnings fill the air. At the University of Toronto, we are more than just an institution of higher learning—we are a beacon for future leaders, a hub of innovation, and a community committed to fostering intellectual growth, creativity, and inclusivity. As you become the next generation of trailblazers, we invite you to explore our resources to help you unlock your full potential.

Here are some key dates we want you to be aware of:

• OUAC application opens: Late September
• National Scholarship nomination period: September 3 to October 10
• Pearson Scholarship nomination period: July 1 to October 11
• U of T application date for early consideration: November 7
• U of T winter break: December 24-January 3
• Final application deadline: January 15

Prospective undergraduate students are encouraged to apply by November 7. We understand that fall and winter can be busy, so applying early gives students enough time to complete all the necessary steps in the application process and qualify for early consideration. Students who submit their application by November 7—and complete the required next steps on their applicant portal by December 2—will be eligible to be considered in the first round of admission decisions.

Please note: Not all program areas will make admission decisions in the first admission round, and applying by November 7 does not guarantee an applicant will receive an admission decision in the first admission round.

Save the date and bring teachers/counsellors and students to U of T Scarborough on Thursday, February 20, 2025. Students will participate in a competition designed to see what it’s like to work as a finance and accounting professional. Meanwhile, teachers and counsellors will participate in professional development sessions and roundtable discussions. Learn more about Be Unlimited.

The National Scholarship and the Lester B. Pearson International Student Scholarship continue to be the University's most prestigious award for incoming undergraduate students. For 2024-25, these Scholarship program will see some changes.

• For the National Scholarship, we will now be accepting nominations for the from schools from September 3 to October 10.
• For the Pearson Scholarship, the school nomination period will run from July 1 to October 11. Nominated students should plan to submit their application to the University by November 7.
• We anticipate that National Scholarship finalists will be interviewed in late January, with decisions made a few weeks after that; and we anticipate that successful Pearson Scholars will be notified in early 2025.

These changes are in response to the changing student landscape and will better align with admission cycles.

We're also hosting a series of open houses in October and November as part of our annual Fall Campus Days:

•  U of T Scarborough - Sunday, October 29th
•  U of T Mississauga - Sunday, November 5th
•  U of T St. George - Saturday, November 18th

These are terrific opportunities for students and their families to experience U of T. We hope you can share these events with your students.

Our three beautiful campuses offer students the chance to learn, network, and innovate in Canada’s economic hub, all while surrounded by diverse neighbourhoods. We have a number of tour programs running through the fall for students and their families. Find all of our campus tour options here.
