Admission Requirements
Regardless of educational background, all applicants
to undergraduate programs must have specific
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/.
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 your school marks, distribution
of subjects taken, and relevance to the academic
program. Meeting the minimum requirements does
not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given
to applicants with the best qualifications.
You must have an Ontario Secondary School
Diploma (OSSD) with a minimum of six 4U/M credits
or equivalent, including credits and courses to satisfy
the academic prerequisites of specific programs. You
must also present a competitive admissions average.
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, visit:
www.uoit.ca/considerations/
English‑Language Requirements
You must provide proof of English‑language
proficiency. Refer to: www.uoit.ca/englishproficiency/.

you are eligible for this grant, visit: www.ontario.ca.
If you are a Canadian student applying from
provinces outside of Ontario, you should contact the
financial assistance agencies in your home province.
There is also a substantial bursary program to aid
students facing financial hardships. From emergency
funds to long term assistance, the university works
with you to find solutions through bursaries and/
or on‑campus employment opportunities suited to
your individual circumstances.
