Applicants educated outside of Ontario must submit evidence of standing equivalent to the OSSD with six (6) Grade 12 U/M courses and subject prerequisites. Ryerson is the sole arbiter of what is considered equivalent.
It is essential that the required subject prerequisite(s) and grade(s) for specific Ryerson programs form part of the academic background of applicants from outside of Ontario, especially in the last two years of high school studies.
Please note that subject prerequisites vary by program. For individual program subject prerequisite requirements, visit the Academic Requirements tab at www.ryerson.ca/undergraduate/admission/overview.
Unless noted otherwise, subject prerequisite grades required for admission (normally in the 65-75 percent range) are determined on the basis of competition.
Applicants to all engineering programs, the Accounting and Finance program, and select programs in the Faculty of Science, should note that Calculus is required.
While minimum averages/grades are stated, applicants may be required to present averages/grades above the minimum. Ryerson receives more applications than spaces
available. The averages/grades required for admission selection to each program
is determined on the basis of competition each year. Possession of minimum
averages and/or grades does not guarantee admission.
