Entry requirements

The admission requirements for the Post Diploma Degree Completion program in Disability Studies are: A Diploma or Advanced Diploma from a public Canadian community college. Diplomas must have an academic focus (e.g. community and social services, business, arts, engineering, science). Applicants with equivalent international academic qualifications may be considered on a case by case basis. The diploma must include a one-year (or equivalent) introductory university-level humanities or social science course or equivalent.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Undergraduate admission is for the Fall term (Fall 2027 admission is open for applications). Some undergraduate programmes accept international applicants for winter admission (January start), subject to space availability.

Fall 2027 admission: the guaranteed consideration date for applications to all programmes is February 1; complete applications and amendments received by this date receive equal consideration, and many programmes continue to accept applications afterwards. The OUAC application deadline is in January. Grades-Plus programmes have programme-specific deadlines for non-academic requirements, submitted through the ChooseTMU Applicant Portal.
