Applications

The application form you fill out for admission to undergraduate programs at the University of Toronto depends on your current situation — whether you’re a current Ontario high school student, an applicant from another Canadian province or territory, an international applicant, or in another circumstance. Consult the categories below to determine which application you need to submit.  In all cases, you’ll apply through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) which processes applications to each of Ontario’s universities.

You are permitted to submit one type of application only. If you submit more than one application, the University of Toronto will cancel the second without a refund. For example, if you submit an OUAC Undergraduate Application, then submit an International application, the International application will be cancelled without a refund.

You should complete the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC)’s Undergraduate Application if you want to apply to full-time studies at an undergraduate program at the University of Toronto.

Access the OUAC Undergraduate Application

Use the University of Toronto International Application if you:

  • currently reside outside of Canada, AND 
  • are not currently studying, and have not previously studied in Canada, AND
  • are not applying to any other Ontario university

Prospective international applicants who wish to apply to other Ontario universities in addition to the University of Toronto should use the OUAC Undergraduate Application.

If you have already applied with the OUAC Undergraduate Application, you do not need to apply to the University of Toronto with the International Application. (If you submit both applications, your second application will be cancelled with no possibility of a refund.)

Note that you will need to pay a non-refundable fee of $180.

The University of Toronto has contracted with the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) to provide application processing services. When you begin the application process, you will be transferred to the OUAC website where you will complete and submit your application. You will be required to create an OUAC account (if you do not already have one). You may have only one OUAC account. Direct any application process questions to the OUAC.

Access the International Application

Use the University of Toronto Internal Application if you:

  • have previously registered at the University of Toronto in a degree, Pre-University program, or as either a Non-degree or Visiting Student (this does not include Continuing Education studies)

If you’ve previously been a student at the University of Toronto and want to return to the same faculty or division you attended, contact your former Registrar’s Office. They can help you determine whether you’re eligible to re-register, or if you must re-apply using this application.

You will need to pay a non-refundable fee of $90. 

Important note for U of T Internal Transfer applicants: We will use your email address in the U of T Student Information System (ACORN) to send you application-related messages and updates. If you wish to use a different email address, you will need to change it on ACORN or contact your Registrar’s Office.

Access the Internal Application

Use the Part-Time Application if you:

  • wish to enrol as a part-time student in arts, science, commerce/management, or engineering courses towards a degree.

Note that students attending a daytime program in secondary school should NOT use this form. Instead, they should apply in the same way as applicants intending to study full-time (using one of the OUAC applications). Applicants currently registered at another institution are not eligible to enrol in the summer session.  

Part-time students can take courses during the day and evening (when available). Although most programs may be taken part-time, students who are only able to attend classes in the evening should consult the appropriate online timetable at the University of Toronto.

If you were previously registered at the University of Toronto and want to return to the same faculty or division you attended, contact your former Registrar’s Office to determine whether you are eligible to re-register or must re-apply using this application.

Use the Non-Degree Application if you wish to upgrade your university record to qualify for graduate school, a professional program, or for personal interest. Non-degree students enrol in arts, science or commerce/management degree credit courses, for which they have the prerequisites, but are not proceeding towards a degree. Admission consideration is based on your entire postsecondary academic record and your most recent annual average (GPA).

Note that you will need to pay a non-refundable fee of $90.
