Welcome to the Visiting Student Program at the University of Toronto! Each summer, Woodsworth College admits hundreds of students from all over Canada and provides students with an opportunity to attend the University of Toronto for one academic session.

THE VISITING STUDENT PROGRAM-ST GEORGE CAMPUS

Visiting Students are from recognized universities located in North America, who are admitted to the Faculty of Arts and Science on the basis of a Letter of Permission (LOP) issued from their home university. The purpose of enrolling in courses as a Visiting Student is to transfer credits back to an undergraduate degree program at their home institution.

Visiting Students are University of Toronto students for the duration of the session in which they are registered. As a Visiting Student, you have full access to all University of Toronto student services, world class resources and facilities, including all libraries, athletic facilities and health services. The Woodsworth College residence is also available for Visiting Students interested in housing.  Located on the St. George campus, the new residence boasts suite-style apartments and impressive views of the Toronto skyline.  Click for a virtual tour of our residence.

The Visiting Student Program has recently been expanded to admit international students for the summer session enrolled in institutions outside of North America. If you are studying in a university outside of North America, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)  the Visiting Student Program Office directly for more information.

Visiting Students must be in good standing at their home university. They may not be on probation, suspended or expelled. Students reapplying as Visiting Students will be assessed based on previous performance at UofT. Transcripts and English Facility Test results are not normally required; however, you should be prepared to present a transcript to an academic department to verify your prerequisite course background.

If you have previously registered in the Faculty of Arts and Science as a degree student or as a special student you may not apply as a Visiting Student even if you have an LOP from another university. You should contact your previous college and complete a “Request for Re-activation” form.

If you have previously registered in another Faculty, such as Engineering, you should contact that Faculty directly.
