February 2025

It's amazing how we're already near the end of February. Admissions is in full swing and we're busy planning for the spring. As always, we’re here to help you with important resources, upcoming events, and admissions news. 

Admission offer rounds are starting to roll out. The first round of decisions was released late January and we're expecting to release another in the next couple of days. Please remind your students to continue checking their emails and logging into the Join U of T applicant portal (or the Engineering Applicant Portal) for updates.

Spring is just around the corner which means we have lots of sessions lined up! While applicants are waiting for their application decisions, this is also a great time for younger students to start exploring their options for their future. See below what we have planned in the coming months, including March break.
