Application Dates
In many cases, Ryerson uses portfolios, interviews,
auditions and references, as well as grades, to
select students. Equal consideration is guaranteed
to all applicants who apply (with a “complete”
application) by the following deadlines:
February 1 – Guaranteed Consideration Date
for Applications to Grades‑Plus Programs.
Grades‑Plus programs select students on the
basis of grades plus non‑academic criteria such
as auditions, portfolios, essays, etc.
March 1 – Guaranteed Consideration Date for
Applications to Grades‑Only Programs.
Grades‑Only programs select students on the
basis of academic achievement.
Many programs review applications after these
dates, subject to space availability.
Applicants to the Midwifery program may apply
to only one university Midwifery program in
the province. The required Ryerson Midwifery
Supplementary Application and personal letter
must be received by Undergraduate Admissions and
Recruitment at Ryerson by February 1, 2016. Ryerson
will not process applications that are incomplete,
including incomplete immigration information.
An additional non‑academic assessment fee of
$50 (subject to change) applies to most programs
within the Faculty of Communication & Design and
the Architectural Science program. Ryerson will
communicate further information about this fee, as
applicable, after an application has been processed.
For further information about non‑academic
requirements and dates visit www.ryerson.ca/
undergraduate/admission/programs/ and select

$85 non‑refundable fee is paid once per application

University. The form is available at: www.ryerson.ca/
