Requirements
Bachelor
Admission is based on the applicant's secondary school record in the courses required for the chosen program; specific prerequisites and competitive averages vary by program, and some programs, such as Landscape Architecture or those delivered at the University of Guelph-Humber campus, have their own additional requirements. There is no single published minimum average across all programs.
Graduate
Set by the individual graduate program; applicants should confirm requirements, references and, for research programs, a supervisor, on the specific program's page.
Documents
Official transcripts in required courses; English proficiency test results unless exempt; a copy of the passport information page for the later study permit application; a portfolio or additional application for programs that require one.
