Admission Requirements
Regardless of educational background, all applicants

prerequisite subject knowledge for their intended
program of study. The prerequisite subjects for each
program and other program-specific requirements
are listed at: www.uoit.ca/programs/.
Current students and high school graduates (with
no postsecondary education) are evaluated based
on their high school courses.
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, and relevance to the academic
program. Meeting the minimum requirements does
not guarantee acceptance. Preference is given to
applicants with the best qualifications.
UOIT will use the highest grade obtained in a course
to calculate your admissions average.
If your grades were affected by exceptional
circumstances that you can document, you are
encouraged to contact the Registrar’s office with the
appropriate information. For information about what
constitutes an exceptional circumstance, please visit:
www.uoit.ca/considerations/.

course content from the host institution must meet
a minimum content equivalency to a UOIT course.
Applicants who attended a postsecondary institution
within Ontario, you must request your transcripts
electronically through the 105 application. All other
applicants must request that your host institution(s)
send official original transcripts directly to UOIT.
Note: UOIT will not accept student‑issued transcripts
(i.e., transcripts that are sent from, or hand‑delivered

program, your postsecondary courses will be
evaluated for transfer credit.

with you to find solutions through bursaries and/

your individual circumstances.
