Applicants who wish to attend a Ryerson program and have attended an accredited university or college will be considered for admission if they meet the admission requirements from secondary school, and are in good academic standing (i.e. eligible for enrolment/readmission) in their previous/current program.
Applicants who have been required to withdraw will not be considered for admission to a comparable program at Ryerson until the term of suspension/withdrawal has been served or, until one year after the status was assigned, whichever comes first.
Applicants who have been required to withdraw from a faculty or program at their home university but who are eligible to apply to another faculty or program at their home university are also eligible to apply to a similar faculty or program at Ryerson.
All eligible applicants will be assessed in competition with other new applicants, taking into consideration both academic (secondary and post-secondary studies) and, where applicable, non-academic criteria, as well as availability of space. 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.
Applicants with the following credentials from a public Ontario College, and who do not meet the admission requirements from secondary school, will be assessed according to the stated guidelines. Subject to competition, candidates may be required to present averages/grades above the minimum.
- Graduates of a three-year diploma program, with a 'B' average will be considered for admission and possible transfer credit. The amount of credit that may be transferred is program-specific.
- Graduates of a two-year diploma program, or two years of a three-year diploma, with a 'B' average, will be considered for admission and possible transfer credit. The amount of credit that may be transferred is program-specific.
- Applicants who have successfully completed one year of a two- or three-year program of an academic nature with an 'A' average will be considered for admission. Note: Due to competition, preference may be given to applicants who have completed two years of public Ontario College studies or more.
NOTE: All students must possess the required program subject prerequisite(s), or equivalent(s), and required entrance averages for these subjects. Admission is subject to competition and higher averages/grades may be required.
A minimum grade of 70 percent ('B-') in a public Ontario College course is required for credit transfer.
Ryerson endorses the Council of Ontario Universities’ general principles on the transfer of credit:
Acceptance of transfer credits among Ontario universities shall be based on the recognition that, while learning experiences may differ in a variety of ways, their substance may be virtually equivalent in terms of their content and rigour. Insofar as possible, acceptance of transfer should allow for the maximum recognition of previous learning experience in university level courses.
Subject to degree, grade and program requirements, any course offered for credit by one university shall be accepted for credit by another university when there is essential equivalency in course content.
