Apply

To apply to the Academic Bridging Program at Woodsworth College, you will need to create an account and apply as a non-degree student through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) using the U of T Non-Degree Application. A few notes about this step:

• On the Program Selection page of the OUAC application, select “Arts & Science - Woodsworth College - Academic Bridging Program.”
• Applying through OUAC will take 10 - 15 minutes to complete as it simply involves collecting your personal information and academic background (there is no document submission at this point).*
• You will be required to pay a $94 application fee (non-refundable).

Note:

* Transcript fees: You do NOT need to request a copy of your transcripts to be sent through your OUAC application. If you pay to have your transcripts sent through OUAC, the transcript fee cannot be refunded to you. You will be able to upload a copy of your transcripts in STEP 3 below.

After submitting your application through OUAC, you will be required to enable your JOINid and log in to the JOIN U of T Website. Instructions for this will be emailed to you approximately one day after we receive your OUAC application.

Once you have logged into the JOIN U of T Website, you will be able to submit your required documents and track the status of your application (see STEP 3 below).

Instructions for applicants:

To complete your application, submit all required documents listed on the JOIN U of T Website. Your application will only be assessed for admission after all documents have been submitted. We encourage you to submit your required documents as early as possible.

1. Information Request Form: Select your Academic Bridging Program option (i.e. part-time Arts, full-time Arts, full-time Science) and fill out all required information.
2. Transcript(s): Upload a copy of your high school and post-secondary transcripts, if any. Alternatively, you can arrange for the issuing organization(s) (e.g. high school, school board, College, etc...) to email us a copy of your transcript(s) directly at academic.bridging@utoronto.ca. Note that transcripts must have been issued within 6 months of the application in order to be considered valid (i.e. older copies of transcripts may not be accepted).* Transcripts issued in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by a certified translation.
3. Proof of Status: Upload a valid document confirming your status in Canada (i.e. Canadian Citizenship, Permanent Residency or Convention Refugee / Protected Persons status). Eligible documents for each status are listed on this section of the application.
4. Statement of Intent: Upload or type in your Statement of Intent discussing the questions listed on this section of the application. You can also refer to our FAQ page for a brief guideline on the Statement of Intent. Note that this should not be longer than 1-2 pages or 1000 words.

Note:

* If it is not possible for you to provide a recent copy of your transcript(s) issued in the past 6 months, be sure to upload an older copy and discuss details on the Statement of Intent or email us at academic.bridging@utoronto.ca with details (e.g. steps you took to obtain a new copy of your transcript, why this is not possible, etc...).

You can check on the status of your application directly via the JOIN U of T Website. If we require additional information or documentation, you will receive an email with details and instructions to submit this. Likewise, if your application is complete and your eligibility is confirmed, we will email you in order to move forward with the admissions process. Note that all applicants receive a decision on their application.
