Offers of Admission for Ontario High School Students
Basic Requirements for Admission
Admission average: You will be considered for admission with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (or equivalent) and an admission average calculated using your top six 4U/M courses (or equivalent), including subject requirements. This average is calculated using the most current grade data available to us through the admission process. A minimum 70% admission average is needed to apply.
Estimated cut-off admission ranges: The estimated cut-off range for all 7 programs is 75–80%. It is based on the admission averages from previous years, and is provided only as a point of reference. Exact cut-offs for the current cycle will be determined by the quantity and quality of applications received and the number of places available in the respective program. Possession of an admission average within the estimated cut-off range does not guarantee an offer of admission.
Subject requirements: A list for all provinces and territories can be found on the University of Guelph-Humber website.
Offers of admission: Offers are sent on an ongoing basis from December until the end of May, and applicants are assessed throughout those months. All domestic applicants will receive an admission decision by May 29, 2024. Your final grades, once received, must fulfill the conditions of your offer.
Student Profile (SP): The Student Profile offers you an opportunity to tell us about factors that may have impacted your grades. Optional to complete. Profiles must be completed on our website and are due March 1, 2024.
Supplementary Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF-D): If you identify as a student with disabilities and your admission average does not meet the cut-off for the program to which you have applied, your SIF-D may be considered if your average is within a discretionary range of the determined cut-off (up to 5%). If you have an admission average of 70–74.9%, it is strongly recommended that you submit a profile to be considered for admission. Optional to complete. Profiles must be completed on our website and are due March 1, 2024.
Rank
If you apply to more than 1 program at the University of Guelph-Humber and you have never attended postsecondary studies, you will be considered for all programs you apply for.
If you are a transfer applicant (i.e., have attended any postsecondary institution) and you apply to more than 1 program at the University of Guelph-Humber, you can expect to receive only 1 offer of admission from the University. The highest-ranked choice will be considered first. Only if you are not admissible to your highest choice will your next choice be considered. If you want to reorder your University of Guelph-Humber program rankings, please amend your application on the OUAC website.
Failed and Repeated Courses
The University of Guelph-Humber will use the highest grade reported for grade 12 coures taken at a Ministry-approved school prior to June 2024, regardless of format.
