Happy new year! 

As we approach the final application deadline, we wanted to send you a few updates that we hope you find useful.

There's only a couple of days before our final application deadline on January 15. A few days after students submit their application, they will receive an acknowledgement email with instructions on how to access the Join U of T applicant portal.

Find information on how applications are assessed here.

Once they have access to the applicant portal, they should begin submitting required documents and completing supplementary steps. We strongly encourage applicants to complete next steps well before our deadlines. See all of our important applications dates here.

Admission decisions will be released in rounds monthly starting in late January through to late May—and into the summer depending on the applicant. Not all program areas will release admission decisions in all rounds of admission. Also, multiple applications are considered independently, so a student may receive admission decisions at different times if they have more than one application to U of T.

U of T Engineering has recently broadened the minimum Chemistry requirement for students pursuing the British Pattern curriculum. This will be a pilot for the next 4-years while the Faculty assesses the level of preparation of this group of admits. Previously, applicants were required to present at least AS-level Chemistry to be eligible for admission consideration. Moving forward, students with only IGCSE/GCE/O-level Chemistry will also be eligible for consideration (though A-level or AS-level Chemistry is still strongly recommended). For more details on admission requirements to the Faculty, please see here.
