What are the admission requirements?
Master's Programs and Full-Time Special Students
- an appropriate bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, with a final year average of at least mid-B from a recognized university
Doctoral Programs
- an appropriate master's degree, or its equivalent, with an average of at least B+ or demonstrated comparable research competence
Many graduate units have higher minimum requirements than the minimum SGS requirements. As we receive many more applications each year from excellent candidates than we have placements available, meeting the minimum admissions requirement does not necessarily guarantee admission.
The minimum admissions requirements set by SGS can also be found on the Admissions page.
What is an "appropriate bachelor's degree"?
An appropriate admitting degree is one that satisfies the following criteria:
a) the issuing institution must be recognized as having degree granting authority by the appropriate jurisdictional authorities (e.g. Provincial / Territorial government or regional quality assurance body);
b) the degree must be the standard first entry degree which gives access to advanced research-based graduate programs in the country of origin (e.g. This is typically 4-years in North America or a 3-year Bologna compliant degrees. Please consult the SGS International Equivalencies Database for more information.);
c) the degree must be comparable to the corresponding University of Toronto admitting credential in terms of breadth and depth (such as satisfying our 75% liberal arts and science content); and
d) where appropriate, have the required affinity or programmatic fit to the graduate program to which you are seeking admission.
All admission decisions are made on a case by case basis and are based on a composite of information which may include previous academic performance, comments from referees, relevant professional activities, proposed research statements, correspondence between research interests and available faculty expertise and in some programs, standardized test scores. Eligibility cannot be determined until a complete application is submitted.
Are three-year Bologna compliant degrees acceptable?
Qualified applicants with three-year Bologna-compliant bachelor's degrees (except 3-year UK degrees preceded by the GCE A-levels which are considered equivalent) are considered admissible and are encouraged to apply. In addition to the SGS minimum admission requirements, there are several factors that will be taken into consideration while assessing these degrees: requirements for gaining admission to the degree; content of the degree and duration of the degree, among others. Eligibility cannot be determined until a complete application is submitted.
I have a four-year Bachelor's degree from a community college. Will it be acceptable?
Applications to graduate studies at U of T from graduates of four-year community college bachelors programs are considered admissible and are encouraged to apply. In addition to the SGS minimum admission requirements, there are several factors that will be taken into consideration while assessing these degrees: the degree of affinity between the applied degree and the program to which the applicant is seeking admission; the academic content of the third and fourth year courses; and other indicators that the applicant is adequately prepared for independent research which is a distinctive characteristic of every graduate degree. The degree program should be normally comprised of at least 75% liberal arts & science content. Eligibility cannot be determined until a complete application is submitted.
I have a three-year Bachelor's degree from a North American university. Will it be acceptable?
Qualified applicants with three-year bachelor's degrees are considered admissible and may apply. In addition to the SGS minimum admission requirements, there are several factors that will be taken into consideration while assessing these degrees: the rigor of the curriculum, the maturity and sophistication of the statement of academic purpose; the extent and quality of prior research experience and commitment to disciplinary interests, among others. However, many North American 3-year degree holders may not have sufficient depth and normally are asked to complete an upgrading year (one full year of senior-level undergraduate courses as specified by the graduate unit). Eligibility cannot be determined until a complete application is submitted.
Can I apply to a Ph.D. program directly from a Bachelor's degree?
Some graduate units will allow direct entry to a Ph.D. program from a Bachelor's degree for exceptional applicants. Such applicants require an appropriate Bachelor's degree, or equivalent, with an average of at least A-.
For more information, contact the department to which you are applying.
I am an international applicant. How do I know if you recognize my degree?
Please consult our International Degree Equivalencies directory. If your degree is not listed there, you may wish to contact us for confirmation.
Note that we will not review or assess your academic record without an official application to a graduate degree program at the University of Toronto, including payment of the appropriate application fee. Prior to application, we are able to confirm if the degree you have received is considered equivalent to our minimum admission requirements. If you do need to email us to inquire about your specific degree, please be sure to include the country and university in which it was earned, and the full official name of the credential awarded, with date of award and length of study period.
When should I apply?
Application deadlines vary from program to program. Please visit the program'sadmission requirements page or contact the graduate unit for the exact date.
I might miss the application deadline; can I have an extension?
All applications should be received by the application deadlines which are set by individual programs. Please contact the program you wish to apply to for approval to apply after the deadline.If you have missed the application deadline, you cannot submit an Online Application until you have received approval from the specific program.

Do I have to list all the schools and institutions I have attended?
Yes. It is required that you list all post secondary institutions you have attended. You do not need to submit any information or documents related to high school.
I want to apply to more than one program; do I have to submit more than one application?
You will be assigned an applicant number and password when you start the SGS Online Application. If you plan to apply to more than one program, you can add a new application from the payment section of the Online Application.
How much is the application fee?
A $110 CDN application fee is required. This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. A supplementary application fee may be assessed depending upon the program to which you are applying. The supplementary application fee can be found at the program's web site or at the payment step of the Online Application.

How my academic transcripts should be submitted?
Applicants should ask each university attended to send their academic transcripts directly to a graduate unit in a sealed and, preferably signed envelope. The envelope should be signed and stamped by the registrar or by an authorized official of your school / college / university.
My institution will release transcripts to me but not the institution in demand. Can I submit these transcripts to the University of Toronto?
If the institution will only release the verification to you, please request that they put it in a sealed envelope so that you can forward that envelope directly to the graduate unit. Do Not open the envelope as that will void the verification. The documents must be received in their original sealed envelope to be considered official.
My transcript does not include course title/grades. What should I do?
You should provide the graduate unit with course descriptions and/or an official statement of academic standing from an appropriate academic officer of the institution concerned.
What do I do if my educational institution has closed?
If the school(s) you attended is no longer in existence, or if it is impossible to obtain official documents from any school(s), you should ask the Ministry of Education in the country in which the credential was awarded to furnish an official statement testifying to the impossibility of obtaining records. The Ministry should also be requested to supply the graduate unit at the University of Toronto with a list of courses taken and grades received by the applicant in that school or university.
I have not completed my current degree yet, what should I do?
If you have not completed your bachelor’s degree (or master’s degree if applicable) at the time you apply to the University of Toronto, please request transcripts from your university showing the work you have completed to date. Please indicate the date when the final result will be available. If you are issued an admissions offer based upon your course work to date, all degree requirements must be completed prior to registration and a final transcript must be received by your graduate unit indicating the date of conferral of your degree.
My name in my official transcripts is different from my passport/other transcripts;, shall I provide a document explaining the discrepancy?
Yes. In case the names differ, you must provide original documentation of your name change, such as marriage certificate or a notarized name change certificate to SGS Student Services.
My academic records are in a language other than English. Shall I also submit English translations of my documents?
If your transcripts/documents are in a language other than English, you must also submit notarized English translations. Translations do not replace original documentation. Both the original documents and translations must be submitted.
My transcripts are in French language. Shall I submit English translations?
French and English are both official languages of Canada. We therefore do not request English translations of transcripts written in French.
Can I get my transcripts back?
Once supporting documents are submitted they become the property of the University of Toronto and cannot be returned.
How many reference letters are required for admission?
The School of Graduate Studies requires two letters of reference; however, you should review your program-specific list of admission requirements to determine if additional letters of reference are required.
What is the process for referees?
Applicants will need to enter referees’ names and (institutional) email addresses into their Online Application. The system will automatically email an electronic submission request to each referee after a payment method is selected. Although you will provide the referee information before payment, the system will not notify your referees until after you have selected to pay the application online or offline. It is highly recommended that applicants contact their referees ahead of time to check their availability.
My referee did not receive the email from the School of Graduate Studies. Could you please resend it?
Referees are advised to check their 'junk mail folder' or that they do not have a 'pop up blocker installed'. If they still do not have the letter, you should contactthe graduate unit you are applying and request the graduate administrator of the program to re-send the electronic e-mail to your referee.
Is the recommendation deadline the same as the application deadline?
Applicants should submit their applications as soon as they feel ready, before the application deadline. Recommendation letters are submitted separately by the referees by the date indicated in the letter they will receive from the School of Graduate Studies.
The contact information of my referee has been changed. As I have already submitted the Online Application how can I edit the referee's contact information?
As you have already submitted your Online Application and paid the appropriate application fee, you cannot make any changes to your application, except your own contact information (address). Therefore, if you need to update the contact information of your referee, you should contact the graduate unit and provide them with the required information.
How do I know when the graduate unit received my supplemental materials?
Applicants may monitor the status of their application by logging into the Online Application. Once you have mailed your supporting documents, please allow two to three weeks from the time you submit your application for your account to reflect receipt of these materials.
Where do I send my application supporting documents?
Applicants should make sure that all supporting documents are sent to the graduate units they are applying to.
Do I need to take the GRE exam?
Although most of our graduate units do not require a GRE exam, there are some that do. Other departments encourage international applicants, in particular, to consider taking the GRE as this assists them in making a fair assessment of your preparation for graduate study. Please check the graduate unit’s instructions to see if the GRE is required in your case.
English is not my first language. Do I need to take the TOEFL/TWE exam?
If your primary language is not English and you graduated from a non-Canadian university where the language of instruction and examination was not English, then you must demonstrate your facility in English by successfully completing an acceptable English Facility Test (EFT). This requirement should be met at the time you submit your application, and must be met before registration is allowed. The TOEFL is just one of the many tests that we accept.For more information, including minimum required scores, please see the English Facility Requirement page.
Where can I get an application form for financial aid?
There is no separate application for funding. Applicants will automatically be considered for any available funding for which you are eligible. If you are pursuing a doctoral-stream degree, the University of Toronto has a guaranteed minimum funding package of at least $15,000 plus tuition and fees for up to five years. Some departments may offer packages above the guaranteed minimum. The funding package may include: internal awards, external awards, teaching assistantships, or research assistantships.Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for external awardsfor which they may be eligible well in advance of applying for admission. For more information on graduate awards visit Applying for Financial Support.
Where can I get information on the status of my application?
You can log in to the Online Application for information on the status of your application. You will need to use your Applicant Number and password assigned to you by the School of Graduate Studies.
When will I hear a decision on my application?
This varies by graduate unit, and is affected by the volume of applications received. Some early offers of admission are sent out in January or February; however, the majority of offers normally come in March. SGS generally advises applicants to expect a response by April, although decisions continue to be made after this point
.I sent my application but I have not heard back from the graduate unit. How do I know my application and supporting documents have been received?
Graduate units do not normally confirm the receipt of applications. You are responsible to ensure that you have read and understood the application requirements for that graduate unit, and that you have gathered all the necessary components of your application package. You can check the receipt status of your documents by logging into the Online Application and viewing the details of your application. A delay can be expected between the time of receipt and when the status is updated.
The status of my online application is indicated as "Documents pending"; however, I am sure that all my supporting documents have been submitted.
Every document submitted by mail by an applicant has to be entered onto the system by a graduate administrator. There is necessarily a time lag between the receipt of documents and the uploading of that information onto the Online Application system. However, an applicant needs to contact the department where s/he has mailed the documents directly and inquire if all documents have been received.
Will the School of Graduate Studies provide feedback for students who have been rejected?
The School of Graduate Studies oversees the graduate admissions process and sets minimum admission requirements for all graduate programs at the University of Toronto, however, admission decisions are made locally at the departmental level.Due to the large number of applications graduate units receive each year, we unfortunately cannot accommodate requests for personalized feedback on your application. Admission to University of Toronto is very competitive and students, who meet, even exceed, our minimum requirements may not necessarily receive an offer.
I have been admitted; however, I have a few questions before I make the final decision. Who do I need to contact?
You should contact the graduate unit from which you have got your acceptance letter. The graduate administrator of your program will be able to answer your questions.
May I defer admission to the University of Toronto?
With departmental approval, you could defer admission for up to twelve months. Admitted applicants who accept an offer of admission are expected to enroll in the term for which they applied and were admitted.
