Mature Students
Applying as a mature student
All applicants, including those who have already completed high school, apply through our standard applications. Full-time degree applicants who are not current Ontario high school students can apply using the OUAC Undergraduate Application. Applicants intending to study part-time can apply using the Part-Time Application.
Please note that University of Toronto degrees cannot be completed entirely through online studies. Courses at the university are offered at all times of the day, so it may not be possible to complete a degree only through evening and weekend classes.
Requirements
Admission requirements are based on your academic background, not your age. We will focus on the highest and most recent level of study you've completed. If you've attended college or university, that record is emphasized, but we may still review your high school results. Program area prerequisites must be met at, or beyond, the minimum level required for admission from your educational system.
To see if you meet our admission requirements, including prerequisite courses, please check our minimum requirements and the prerequisites of your target program of interest.
Transfer credits
If you've studied at a recognized post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for transfer credits toward your degree. Transfer credits are assessed after admission. Find out more about transfer credits.
Program restrictions
Be sure to check whether your intended program considers applicants with your educational level. Certain programs, such as Rotman Commerce, do not consider applicants transferring from other post-secondary institutions.
Pathway programs
If you do not meet the published admission requirements for your target academic program, and you have not previously attempted university-level studies, you may become eligible for admission to some academic programs through our pathway programs. Find out more about university pathway programs.
