The University of Toronto (U of T) is a public research university with three main campuses in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. Based on the grounds that surround Queen's Park in Toronto, it was founded by royal charter in 1827 as King's College, the first institution of higher learning in Upper Canada. Originally controlled by the Church of England, the university assumed its present name in 1850 upon becoming a secular institution.

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
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
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
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.
- Whether your OUAC ranking matters
Typically, we do not consider ranking on the OUAC application. • For the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, applicant choice may be a factor as part of a broad-based admission approach. Should you rank us at a lower OUAC choice, your application could be disadvantaged.
- If you don't get your first choice
Alternative offers of admission will vary by program: o Faculty of Arts & Science: Computer Science and Rotman Commerce applicants can express interest in an alternative admission category in their JOIN U of T portal. o The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering will consider applicants consecutively for the 4 engineering programs they select on the Engineering applicant portal. The Faculty will make only 1 offer of admission. o Daniels Faculty: No alternative offers of admission. o The Faculty of Music will provide alternative offers within the Faculty.

All responses, whether an offer of admission, a refusal or a wait list invitation, will be published by May 28, 2026. We encourage current Ontario high school applicants to accept the best offer available to them by the June 1 deadline.
