Programs
Key Dates
February 1, 2025 – We guarantee equal consideration if you apply with a complete application by this deadline. Many programs will continue to review applications after February 1, subject to space availability.
Grades-Plus programs select students based on grades and non-academic criteria, such as auditions, portfolios, essays, etc. Grades-Only programs select students based on academic achievement.
An additional non-academic assessment fee of $50 (subject to change) applies to some programs within The Creative School and the Architectural Science program. We will communicate further information about this fee, as applicable, after we process your application.
We will not process applications that are incomplete, including incomplete immigration information.
Admission Requirements
Group A Admission Requirements
For Group A applicants, we require completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and 6 Grade 12 U/M courses with a minimum overall average of 70%. This establishes eligibility for admission; subject to competition, individual programs establish higher academic averages.
Meeting minimum averages and/or grades does not guarantee admission. All programs also stipulate specific prerequisite subject requirements.
We may use Grade 11 results in the early admission offer process. Some programs (Grades-Plus) also specify non-academic requirements for admission (e.g., portfolio, essay, interview, audition).
Group B Admission Requirements

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The mandate of the Office of the Vice-President, Equity and Community Inclusion (OVPECI) is to maintain a visible presence for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and Indigenous values and experience as integral components across all teaching, learning, research, service and administrative functions of the university, while addressing the range of systemic barriers at TMU.
OVPECI provides oversight with respect to the realization of the University’s equity and community inclusion strategic initiatives. We work collaboratively — providing technical guidance and support — to empower all members of the university to create a human rights-centred campus. We work in partnership to reduce barriers to access and inclusion for students, faculty and staff, and bolster an equitable and inclusive, community-focused, decolonized university that pursues its academic mandate.
Residence
We have approximately 1,144 beds in 3 residence buildings on campus. Between these buildings, there is a range of styles, including 2- to 4-bedroom apartments and single bedrooms with shared or private washrooms.
The deadline to submit a residence application is in early June each year. For details about accommodations and application instructions, visit Housing or contact our office directly:
