The Faculty of Arts and Science is home to a rich and varied student body. Although
most of our students are from Southern Ontario, we have students from every province of
Canada and from over 90 foreign countries. We encourage application by qualified students
from outside Ontario. Applicants must present a satisfactory academic record from
recognized academic institutions and meet the requirements listed below or in the
Undergraduate Admissions Bulletin. The specific average or standing required for admission
varies from year to year.
Canadian Students
Applicants from the Province of Quebec must present twelve academic C.E.G.E.P. courses.
Applicants from all other provinces and territories in Canada must present grade 12
matriculation.
American Students
Applicants from the United States must present Grade 12 matriculation and results from
two College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Tests and three Achievement
Tests (American College Testing scores are also accepted).
Other Applicants
Information on admission requirements for applicants from overseas is contained in the
International Undergraduate Admission Bulletin available from Admissions and Awards.
All Applicants from Outside the Ontario School System
In addition to meeting the Faculty of Arts and Science admission requirements, students
intending to enrol in Economics and Commerce programs or Science Programs must have
completed, or must take, a full credit secondary school course or equivalent in Calculus
which covers the geometric notion of a limit, the differentiation and integration of
elementary functions and provides them with a geometric grasp of differentiation and
integration in place of OAC Calculus. For further information on acceptable Calculus
courses or equivalents, please contact the Department offering the program in which you
intend to enrol.
As of September 2000, the Faculty of Arts and Science is offering a special first-year
calculus course entitled MAT 136Y - Calculus and its Foundations, limited to students from
outside of Ontario interested in the biological, physical or computer sciences and whose
high school mathematics preparation is strong but does not include calculus. For more
information, consult Section 5, MAT, of the Arts and Science Calendar for a full course
description as well as the Registration Timetable and Handbook.
PUMP (Preparing for University Math
Program)
PUMP is a non-credit, intensive course specially designed to prepare students for
entry-level mathematics courses, like calculus and linear algebra. It is designed
primarily for students from outside Ontario who require additional pre-university
mathematics background. The course costs $600.00 (subject to change), and runs from July
11-August 31, 2000. For more information, see the website at www.math.utoronto.ca/pump.
