U of T offers additional application procedures for some international students and students who do not hold the published admission requirements:

If you are an international student wishing to apply directly to the University of Toronto and not any other post-secondary institution in Ontario, you may use the University of Toronto International Application. The following criteria must be met to apply:

  • You are only applying to the University of Toronto, AND
  • You currently reside outside of Canada, AND
  • You are not currently studying, or have not previously studied, in Canada, AND
  • You have not already applied to the University of Toronto using the OUAC Undergraduate Application

  • Bridging Pathway: Mature students who do not meet traditional admission requirements are welcome to join us for the opportunity for successful direct admission to university level studies.
  • Part-Time Students: A part-time student is one taking less than a 60% course load in a certificate, degree, or diploma program. Take a lighter load and do it part-time.
  • Second Degree: What's better than one U of T degree? Two U of T degrees.
  • Internal U of T Transfer: 1 University; 3 Campuses. Are you interested in transferring your U of T studies to another campus?
  • Non-Degree & Visiting: Do you want to take courses at UTM for your home institution? Or perhaps you wish to take some additional courses for post-grad work or simply because you are interested in the material.
  • Senior Citizen Student: If you are at least 65 years of age by the first day of the term may register with special conditions.
  • Refugee Pathway: We understand that many refugees coming to Canada have unique situations and varied educational backgrounds. We can help.
