Basis of Admission

Applicants educated outside of Ontario must submit evidence of education equivalent to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six Grade 12 U or M courses. Please note: Ryerson reserves the right to be the final arbiter of what will be accepted on an equivalency basis. You can find the general admission requirements for many education systems starting on page 20.

It is essential that subject prerequisite requirements and grades for specific Ryerson programs form part of the academic background of applicants from outside Ontario, especially in the last two years of secondary school studies. Our prerequisite charts starting on page 23 list all the required subjects and grades/levels.

Admission is based on competitive overall admission averages, competitive grades in program-specific subject requirements and, where applicable, non-academic requirements (e.g., portfolio, admission essay, interview, audition, etc.). Your complete academic record, including secondary school as well as all post-secondary studies (e.g., college, university or other post-secondary institutions), will be reviewed and considered as part of the competitive selection process. For current Ontario secondary school applicants, Ryerson may use Grade 11 results in the early admission selection process.

You must have completed, or currently be completing, your program’s admission requirements at the time you apply. Meeting the minimum published admission requirements and/ or grades does not guarantee admission. The overall average and subject-specific grades required for each program depend on competition each year, and admission is offered to the best-qualified applicants based on the information available at the time of application review.

When to apply

February 1 is the Guaranteed Consideration Date for applications to all programs (Grades-Plus and Grades-Only). Subject to space availability in programs, applications, amendments and supporting documents may continue to be reviewed after the Guaranteed Consideration Date for fall admission.

Grades-Only programs select students on the basis of academic performance.

Grades-Plus programs select students on the basis of academic performance plus non-academic requirements such as auditions, interviews, portfolios, essays, etc. If distance does not permit travel to Ryerson, selection methods may include telephone interviews, video auditions, mail-in questionnaires and/or essays.

Non-academic material is generally due by the Guaranteed Consideration Date. However, it is important that you do not submit non-academic material until after you have actually submitted your application for admission and have received your Ryerson Student Number.

Your Ryerson Student Number must be clearly printed on all non-academic materials you submit. For further information about specific non-academic requirements, including submission deadline dates, procedures and applicable fees, visit the academic program page for your program of interest at ryerson.ca/programs/undergraduate.
