How TMU actually handles things
From the OUAC’s Guidance Dialogues Resource Guide (Spring 2026), which OUAC publishes for guidance counsellors rather than students. Read the original. Policies change — confirm anything you’re about to act on.
- If you repeat a course
We use the highest completed grade to calculate admission, scholarship and award averages. Some exceptions apply. www.torontomu.ca/requirements
- Summer school, night school, e-learning and private school
We accept all courses completed at public and Ministry-inspected, registered private schools that are authorized to grant credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Courses completed after June 30 in the Grade 12 year (e.g., regular or condensed summer school courses) require authorization and may not be considered. www.torontomu.ca/admissions/undergraduate/ after-applying/summer-school-extensions
- Your Grade 11 marks
We release offers for Grades-Only programs starting in November based on final Grade 11 averages and registration in the required Grade 12 courses.
All offers based on Grade 11 final marks and Grade 12 course registration or interim results are conditional.
- Whether your OUAC ranking matters
We do not consider the order of choices in the admission process.
- If you don't get your first choice
We may provide alternative offers of admission for some programs when applicants lack prerequisites or competitive entry averages for the program they selected.
- Supplementary applications
Grades-Plus programs have non-academic requirements for admission consideration. More information: www.torontomu.ca/programs/undergraduate.

Students attending a Canadian high school are eligible for guaranteed and renewable entrance scholarships.

Students must request deferrals in writing. www.torontomu.ca/admissions/undergraduate/ applications-related-forms/deferral

How TMU is set up
Not a ranking — the structural facts that shape what a year here feels like, computed from TMU’s own listings. Universities list at different grain (TMU lists 65), so read the counts rather than comparing percentages between campuses.
58%
of programs offer co-op
38 of 65 listings. Co-op is a real option here but not the default path.
24/29
subjects you apply straight into
You mostly apply directly to the subject: 24 of 29 common majors are direct entry, so first year is already your program.
Living there
Not guaranteed
first-year residence
TMU’s residence spaces are limited and go first to incoming first-year undergraduates, then to students who live furthest from campus.
About 1,144 beds in three residence buildings on campus.
