Pathway Programs
The path to university can be different for everyone. While many students apply to university directly from high school, other students take alternate paths. Our bridging, transition and diploma-to-degree programs designed to help students who may not follow a traditional path to post-secondary studies.
Academic Bridging Programs
The Academic Bridging Program offered through Woodsworth College on the St. George campus, as well as the Bridging Pathway offered at U of T Mississauga, provide mature students who do not meet U of T admission requirements with the opportunity to qualify for degree studies in the humanities and social sciences on any of the three campuses. These programs are available to Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons (convention refugees).
Transitional Year Programme
The Transitional Year Programme (TYP) is a full-time, eight-month access to University program that is intended for adults who do not have the formal qualifications for university admission due to circumstances beyond their control, such as financial, social, personal, political, familial or mental health barriers. The program is available to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons.
Diploma to Degree Programs
Woodsworth College, Faculty of Arts and Science
The Diploma to Degree Program offered through Woodsworth College on the St. George campus provides students enrolled in a two-year arts and science diploma at one of our partner institutions a pathway to university studies. After completing their diploma and a qualifying course, students may be eligible for up to 6.0 transfer credits and transfer into second-year studies. This program is available to students of all legal statuses.
