Students previously registered at University of Toronto
at Scarborough who wish to return after an absence of three or
more consecutive sessions (at least 12 months) must submit an
"Application To Re-Enrol" at Registrarial Services,
Room S303. As enrollment in MOST
courses is on a first-come, first-served basis, students are strongly
advised to apply to re-enrol by APRIL
1 FOR THE SUMMER SESSION AND JUNE 15 FOR THE FALL/WINTER SESSIONS
in order to have the forms processed in time to take advantage
of the wider availability of courses when the "course selection
period" begins. Students who have a four year degree conferred
normally continue as Special Students. Students who wish to start
a second degree must apply IN
WRITING to the Assistant
Registrar-Admissions (Room S303F) by April 1. For further information

NOTE:
Details of admission requirements for students who will be graduates

Applicants may request the English Facility Requirements
brochure from Admissions and Awards. Telephone 416-978-2190.
1. Proof of adequate English facility is required
of all applicants except
for those, (i) whose first language is English, or (ii) who
have studied full-time for at least four years in an English language
school system located in a country where the first language is
English, or (iii) whose first language is French and have studied
for at least four years in the Canadian school system.
2. Applicants who are required to present proof
of English facility shall be exempt from the normal admission
requirement of having to present OAC English 1 (or equivalent
course). Such applicants are, however, encouraged to include English
in their preparation for university. If OAC English 1 is completed
as an extra credit, applicants will not be penalized by having
the result included in their admission average if the grade is
low.
3. One of the following tests and scores will be
accepted by the University of Toronto as satisfactory proof of
English facility.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language Paper-Based Test (TOEFL PBT) and the Test of Written English (TWE) or the TOEFL Computer-based Test (TOEFL CBT)
Minimum requirement:
TOEFL PBT-total score of 600 and 5.0 on TWE
TOEFL CBT-total score of 250 and 5.0 on Essay.
Michigan English Language Assessment Battery.
The minimum requirement is an overall score of 85 with no part
score below 80.
International English Language Testing System
(IELTS). The minimum requirement is an
overall band of 6.5, with no band below 6.
Certificate of Proficiency in English (COPE)
The minimum requirement is an overall score of 5 with 2 in Writing
and 1 or 2 in Reading and Listening.
NOTE: For an applicant who scores just below the minimum requirements who is otherwise well-qualified for admission, Admissions and Awards will automatically consider other academic evidence of English proficiency (for example, results in English courses).
Students should choose OACs that will fulfill the
prerequisites for university courses they intend to take. Review
UTSC brochures or consult with Admissions and Student Recruitment
staff. Also see the chart that follows at the end of this section.
The certificates listed below are considered acceptable
for admission consideration. Applicants should consult the chart
at the end of this section which describes specific Ontario OAC
course requirements and take equivalent courses to meet prerequisites.
For programs that require OAC calculus, applicants
must complete an equivalent course that covers the geometric notion
of a limit, the differentiation and integration of elementary
functions to provide them with a geometric grasp of differentiation
and integration.
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan - Grade 12
Quebec - 12 academic C.E.G.E.P.
courses (Transfer credit is granted to candidates who have completed
more than the 12 academic required courses.)
NOTE:
Those who completed their high school studies in Canada in 1985
or earlier should contact Admissions and Awards before applying
to check entrance requirements.
Students who have completed work at other universities
or at other Faculties or Schools of this University may be considered
for admission with advanced standing credit. Acceptance of transfer
credits among Ontario universities shall be based on the recognition
that, while learning experiences may differ in a variety of ways,
their substance may be essentially equivalent in terms of their
content and rigour. Insofar as possible, acceptance of transfer
credit should allow for maximum recognition of previous learning
experience in university-level courses.
Subject to degree, grade and program requirements, any course offered for credit by one university shall be accepted for credit by another university when there is virtual equivalency in course content.
Note that students who are transferring to the University
of Toronto at Scarborough will be required to complete at least
half of their degree credits and half of their program requirements
as University of Toronto at Scarborough students. (Students transferring
from other divisions of the University of Toronto are exempt from
this degree requirement. Limits on transfer credit upon admission
still apply.) Students must consult with the Program Supervisor
before taking courses required for the program at another campus.
1 Candidates who have completed a two-year CAAT diploma program with sufficient academic content (or two years of a three-year CAAT diploma program) are eligible to be considered for admission to the first year of a degree program. Up to two transfer credits will be considered. (effective 1997; the policy change is not retroactive.)
2 Candidates who have completed a three-year CAAT diploma program are eligible to be considered for admission with up to five transfer credits.
3 Candidates who have completed a one-year CAAT diploma program (or one year of a two- or three-year CAAT diploma program) are normally not eligible for consideration for admission. (Mature students who are at least 21 years of age should contact Admissions and Awards.)
They must qualify for consideration by completing
6 Ontario Academic Courses (or equivalent).
Candidates who have completed the Diploma with at
least 13 points from the higher level subjects and 24 points in
total, may be considered for admission and awarded transfer credit
for most higher level subjects completed with a grade of 5, 6
or 7.
Candidates who have completed Grade 12 from an accredited
high school with a high grade point average and good scores on
the SAT I: Reasoning Tests and three (preferred) SAT II: Subject
Tests will be considered. ACT and Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations
will also be considered. Transfer credit is awarded for some AP
examinations.
Candidates who wish to apply for admission on the
basis of work completed in other countries or on the basis of
other qualifications should check our websites or write to Admissions
and Awards, outlining their academic qualifications and intended
area of study. Information on admission requirements for applicants
from overseas is contained in the Undergraduate Admission Bulletin
available from Admissions and Awards.
Applicants who do not hold the published admission requirements may be considered for admission if:
1 they are at least 21 years of age by July 15 of the Summer Session or by October 1 of the Fall/Winter Session, and
You must not have attempted any degree level academic
work (or equivalent) at post-secondary institutions such as a
university or polytechnic institute. You must not have completed
more than two years of full-time studies in a College of Applied
Arts and Technology (or equivalent).
Students must
receive permission from Admissions and Awards to qualify using
the two OAC option or from Woodsworth College (416-978-4444) of
the University of Toronto to qualify for consideration using other
options. Therefore, consult before
applying to any of these courses. Students who wish to prepare
for certain university programs such as science programs may have
to do additional studies to ensure all of the prerequisites will
be attained.
NOTE ABOUT STATUS IN CANADA: An applicant who wishes to qualify as a Mature Student must be one of the following: (a) a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, or (b) officially recognized as a Convention Refugee admitted to and remaining in Canada, or (c) a Refugee Claimant who has applied to the federal government for Convention Refugee status prior to January 1, 1989
Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada
who are at least 65 years of age by the first day of term, may
apply for admission as part-time Special Students. Normal admission
requirements are usually waived. Tuition fees will be charged
but limited bursary assistance is available. Call the Assistant
Registrar - Admissions at 416-287-7529 for information.
Special Students are those registered at UTSc who
are not proceeding towards a degree. Most Special Students have
completed degree studies and are taking further courses for their
own purposes.
Students with valid Letters of Permission from other
accredited North American universities may register directly at
UTSc, taking courses for transfer credit at their own home university.
Visiting Student status does NOT
imply acceptance as either a student proceeding towards a degree
or a Special Student. Call 416-287-7529 for applications.
Students currently enrolled in a full-time Ontario
secondary school submit the 101 application through their school's
guidance office.
All other applicants may request an application from Admissions and Awards, giving full details of their educational background and standing. Some full-time applications (105D and 105F) are available on-line at the Ontario Universities Application Centre. Website: http://www.ouac.on.ca .
The specific average or standing required for admission
varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into
consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks,
distribution of subjects taken, performance in subjects relevant
to the academic program selected and, for applicants to co-operative
programs, supplementary information obtained through the co-operative
program application. While the University of Toronto recognizes
that there may be valid reasons for a student to repeat a course,
in general we urge students do as well as possible on their first
attempt. In considering students for admission and scholarships,
the University reserves the right to give preference to students
whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course.
Possession of minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Because of limitation of space, preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications. Applications will be considered from candidates whose qualifications do not meet the normal requirements, but such candidates must offer written evidence of exceptional ability, or of extenuating circumstances. Applicants who matriculated prior to the current year are advised to telephone or write to Admissions and Awards for information. The University of Toronto reserves the right to determine whether or not credentials of degree-granting institutions in Ontario meet the standards for admission to University of Toronto programs.
