Application information

Entry requirements

The normal minimum for admission to the PhD degree will be an average of A- (7.0 G.P.A.) in graduate courses. For international students whose first language is not English and who do not hold a recognized degree from an accredited institution in which the language of instruction is solely English, proof of English Language Proficiency is required before the application deadline. The minimum acceptable iBT TOELF (Test of English as a Foreign Language) result for acceptance is 100, with no score of less than 20 on each component of the test.

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.
