Entry requirements

The admission selection process is competitive. Applications are reviewed by the Graduate Admissions and Records Office and then by the English Graduate Committee, who usually makes admission decisions in February and March. Not all students who meet the minimum requirements can be admitted. In addition to the application materials required by the Faculty of Graduate Studies (see Faculty Admissions), the department requires a statement of intent (not to exceed 2 typed pages), a 10-15 page typed essay demonstrating advanced literary and/or critical studies ability, and a CV.

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.

Many graduate programs have three entry points: September, January and May; entry points and deadlines are listed on each program overview page.

The application fee is $145.25 if all documents originate within Canada and $187.00 if any originate outside Canada, payable online by credit card.
