Language Requirements

If your first language is not English, or if you have had less than 4 years of full-time secondary school or postsecondary study, demonstrating satisfactory academic progress in an English-language school system, then you are required to submit proof of English proficiency.

If you are required to provide proof of English proficiency, 1 of the following tests with scores will be accepted.

You will receive an email with detailed instructions (after you apply) if you are required to demonstrate English proficiency as part of your application.

Note:

• Francophone Canadian citizens educated in Canada will not be required to meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement.

The University reserves the right to deny admission to you if you do not demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in English, regardless of academic qualifications.

Basic Requirements for Admission

Admission average: You will be considered for admission with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (or equivalent) and an admission average calculated using your top 6 4U/M courses (or equivalent), including subject requirements. This average is calculated using the most current grade data available to us through the admission process. 

Estimated cut-off admission ranges: The estimated cut-off range for all of our honours undergraduate programs is 70–75%. It is based on the admission averages from previous years, and is provided only as a point of reference. Exact cut-offs for the current cycle will be determined by the quantity and quality of applications received and the number of places available in the respective program. Possession of an admission average within the estimated cut-off range does not guarantee an offer of admission.

Subject requirements: A list for all provinces and territories can be found on our page.

All domestic applicants will receive an admission decision by May 28, 2026. Your final grades, once received, must fulfill the conditions of your offer.
