How to Apply
1) Complete and sumbit the online application form.
• All parts of the form must be completed; if any sections of the application are left blank, the application will not be processed. Include documentation in support of your status in Canada.
2) Pay the $90 non-refundable application fee.
• By cash, debit, credit card, certified cheque or money order (payable in Canadian funds to the University of Toronto). Unfortunately at this time we do not accept online payments; we do accept faxed credit card (VISA or MasterCard) authorization.
3) Provide acdemic transcripts of secondary schools and any post-secondary institution previously attended, regardless of whether or not studies were completed.
• Official transcripts of post-secondary studies in Canada or abroad must be mailed directly from the issuing institutions to the Academic Bridging Office, or delivered to the office in the original sealed/stamped envelope from the issuing institution.
• If the name on the application does not match the name on the transcripts, proof of legal name change is required.
4) Submit a one page writing sample in support of your academic readiness.
• Write a brief letter demonstrating potential for success through your academic and non-academic experiences and accomplishments. Elaborate in four paragraphs on:
a) why Bridging is suitable for your specific future educational/career goals;
b) what steps you have taken to prepare yourself for the academic and scheduling demands of the course;
c) how you plan to manage the financial costs and fees associated with the Program;
d) the sections of the Academic Readiness Checklist that you anticipate will be the most challenging for you during the course.
Note: Omitting previous studies from the application is considered an academic offense and can result in students being withdrawn from the University of Toronto at any time during their course of studies.
All documents and transcripts received by the Academic Bridging Program become the property of the University of Toronto; originals and/or copies will not be returned to the applicant or forwarded to other institutions. We reserve the right to confidentially shred duplicate copies of documents.
