Engineering at U of T (St. George)

What to watch for

Here's the trap: normally "just engineering, undecided" would mean applying to TrackOne (TEO), a common first year where you pick your discipline at the end of first year. But U of T Engineering's own site says U of T Engineering is pausing admission to TrackOne, Undeclared for two admissions cycles: 2026–2027 and 2027–2028, corresponding to September 2027 and September 2028 start dates. A Grade 12 student filling in OUAC today (August 2026) is applying for a September 2027 start, which falls exactly inside that pause. For these cycles, applicants will apply directly to: Core 8 programs (Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Materials, Mineral, Mechanical) or Engineering Science — there is no undeclared/general engineering box to tick on OUAC this year. So this student cannot apply to "engineering" in general: they must pick ONE specific OUAC code from the list — TB (Chemical), TV (Civil), TCS (Computer Engineering), TE (Electrical), TI (Industrial), TTM (Materials), TM (Mechanical), TG (Mineral), or TK (Engineering Science, which itself lets you pick a major stream later within EngSci). If they truly don't know which discipline yet, the university's stated reasoning for the pause is that most "undecided" students end up picking a discipline anyway, so they're now expected to commit to one Core 8 program at application time (though switching between Core 8 programs after a clear first year is still possible via internal transfer, per the engineering calendar). Advise the student to research the 8 disciplines plus Engineering Science and choose the OUAC code that matches their real interest, rather than assuming TEO exists this year.
