How U of T (St. George) 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

Which mark they use when you take a course twice.

Generally, the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering Admissions Committee does not consider repeated course grades.

Rotman Commerce, within the Faculty of Arts & Science, will consider only the first attempt at each subject.

We reserve the right to take into account repeated courses. • Applicants may request special consideration in extenuating circumstances.

Summer school, night school, e-learning and private school

Whether courses taken outside your regular day school are treated the same.

We accept all Ministry-inspected and -approved courses. • We are unable to accept grades unless the school submits them to us through the OUAC.

Your Grade 11 marks

Whether they look at Grade 11, and when.

We will make conditional offers of admission based on available Grade 11 and Grade 12 grades, provided the OUAC record indicates enrollment in all required Grade 12 courses, including ENG4U. If a Grade 12 grade in a prerequisite subject is not available, we will use the grade in the corresponding Grade 11 course.

For the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, we always take Grade 11 results into consideration.

Applicants who are currently finishing high school in Ontario but completed Grade 11 outside the province are encouraged to apply by November 7 and follow the instructions on the Join U of T applicant portal to submit their Grade 11 results, along with any other required documents.
