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 joint or double degree programs have their own additional admission steps. 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 prerequisite courses; English proficiency test results unless exempt; a copy of the passport information page for the later study permit application.
How to apply
- Confirm your program's prerequisite courses and English test minimum.
- Apply through OUAC, form 105 for applicants outside Ontario, including international applicants, and pay the application fee.
- Arrange transcripts and English test scores to reach Laurier.
- Track your application and respond to document requests through Laurier's applicant portal.
- Accept an offer of admission and pay the required tuition deposit.
- Apply for a study permit.
English test waiver
Applicants are exempt if their three most recent years of full-time education were in English without ESL support. An applicant who meets the academic requirement but not the English requirement can receive a conditional offer. TOEFL iBT scores from tests taken on or after 21 January 2026 use a new scale, with a minimum of 4.5 overall and no less than 4.0 in each section.
