HOME Admission Procedures and Policies Admission Decisions

Admission Decisions
An application will be processed only when it is deemed complete (i.e. receipt of all necessary transcripts, supporting documents and applicable fees).

Ryerson’s primary mode of communication is the Choose>Ryerson portal and email. 

All applicants are required to use a Choose>Ryerson portal account (choose.ryerson.ca), and will be sent personal log-in details to their email account after their application has been received.  

Application status and applicant communications are viewable in the Choose>Ryerson portal. Applicants must regularly monitor their Choose>Ryerson account, and read all of the information that is posted to the 'My Application Status' and 'Documents' sections. Applicants are strongly advised to save and/or print all communications posted to their Choose>Ryerson portal account.

If an applicant’s email address changes, Ryerson must be updated immediately, through appropriate channels. Applicants should ensure that they have edited/updated their 'spam' filters to prevent important and time-sensitive e-mail communications from being filtered out as spam.

Applicants who have been approved will be notified by an official Offer of Admission.   Please note the following policies and procedures regarding Offers of Admission:

1.  The earliest date by which an Ontario secondary school applicant may receive an Offer of Early Admission from Ryerson is late January or early February.

2.  Non-Ontario secondary school students, including out-of-province high school applicants, may receive an Offer of Admission as soon as interim marks are received by Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment at Ryerson and as soon as Ryerson has completed an assessment of the application.

3.  Each year, Ryerson announces anticipated program-by-program first release dates. This information is available at www.ryerson.ca/undergraduate/admission/apply/when. Ryerson will make every attempt to meet, but cannot guarantee, projected release dates.

4.  In order to maintain their admitted status, an applicant must follow all instructions and meet all deadlines contained in supporting, post-admission documentation. This includes but is not limited to applicant confirmation of acceptance of the offer by the stated deadline, compliance with admission conditions and tuition deposit dates, and finalization of a timetable during the University Enrolment period. 

5.  Ryerson reserves the right to withdraw Offers of Admission made to students who do not meet the condition(s) outlined in their Offer of Admission, who do not confirm their Offer of Admission by the specified confirmation date, or who do not pay their deposit/fee payment as required. As well, evidence of any falsified document(s) will result in the cancellation of an Offer of Admission.

6.  International Student Health Insurance - All International Students must also register in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) for the duration of their studies at Ryerson. This plan ensures that all international students are protected from unexpected expensive medical bills and was established by Ontario Universities to provide comprehensive coverage.  UHIP coverage is compulsory for International Students and their dependents. 

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that students do not purchase health coverage from a private insurance plan at home prior to arrival in Canada.

The necessary fee for this coverage will be included in the Fees Statement provided by the Student Fees Office. 

Any questions concerning UHIP and the application process should be directed to International Student Services, in Room POD-50A, by phone at (416) 979-5000 ext. 6655 or by email at uhip@ryerson.ca.

7.  All full-time program, first-year students who confirm an Offer of Admission by the end of July
will be automatically enrolled in their required courses and will be required to only choose and enroll in elective courses as applicable. Enrolment in elective courses generally occurs in mid-August.

All full-time, first-year students who confirm an Offer of Admission later than the end of July will have to enroll in both required and elective courses via RAMSS. For assistance, students should visit www.ryerson.ca/RAMSSsupport/ugrad_grad/ or contact the advisor for their program.

Part-time program, direct entry or advanced standing students
will not be automatically enrolled in any (required or elective) courses and should contact the program advisor in their department for course enrolment information.

8.  Students must attend course enrolment-related activities during the specified time during Orientation Week. Students who do not enroll in and attend classes as required, cannot be guaranteed space in their program unless special written permission has been given.
