Hey Grads,
Here are some important bits of information for those of you who are Applying to the University of Toronto 
Applications
Soon after an application is submitted to OUAC, students will receive an email acknowledgement of their application from Admissions and Awards, containing their 9-digit U of T applicant number. This acknowledgement also contains instructions on how to log into the Join UofT applicant portal, where students can check their application status, chat with fellow applicants and learn more about next steps. We recommend students check the Join UofT portal often to confirm that we have received all required documentation. Any changes to an application, including contact information, must be made on OUAC.
Students applying to the Rotman Commerce program must complete an onlinepersonal statement to be considered for admission. Information about the personal statement is included in the application acknowledgement package.
Students who ranked either Trinity College or Victoria College as their first choice are strongly recommended to complete a college profile to enhance their application for membership in these colleges. Information about these profiles has been sent to all Trinity College and Victoria College first-choice applicants.
Offers
Decisions will be made roughly 6-8 weeks after the application has been received. Students should check the Join UofT portal for the most up to date admission information.
College Rankings
All Arts & Science students will be assigned to one of seven colleges upon admission. College choice does not impact academic choice in any way – these are small “neighbourhoods” within the larger U of T community, where students will access resources as well as social and extra-curricular opportunities. If students live in residence, they will most likely live and dine at their college. All applicants will rank their college preference from 1 – 7 on the OUAC website at the time of application. Students may change their college rankings on OUAC until their application is under review.
Residence
U of T guarantees housing to all new full-time students who are admitted by May 31st and who indicated on their application that they are interested in housing. Colleges will provide students with more information about their residence application at the time of admission or shortly thereafter. Students should contact their college directly if they have questions.
If students prefer an alternative to college residence, they may wish to consider Chestnut Residence, a U of T residence located a 15-minute walk from campus. With over 1000 students of all backgrounds, cultures and religions, Chestnut Residence houses students from all U of T faculties.
Application Deadline
Deadline for receipt of all documents, including school transcripts and proof of English facility (if required) is April 30th
