Applying: Realize your future with TMU Graduate Studies

At Toronto Metropolitan University, all graduate applications are submitted online. Submitting a complete application package is a two-part process.

Part 1 - Submit an application administered by the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC). When you begin the application process, you will be transferred to the OUAC website, where you will be able to complete and submit your application. The OUAC requires you to create an OUAC Account (if you do not already have one). You may have only one OUAC Account.

If you have any technical difficulties with the application, please contact the OUAC directly at gradapps@ouac.on.ca or by telephone at (519)823-1063. (For OUAC/AODA information, please visit https://www.ouac.on.ca/accessibility/ (external link) ).

Part 2 - Uploading documents. The online system is mandatory; The Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will not accept any hard copy application packages, nor will they be processed.

Step 1:

Gather all the required documents for your specific program(s) of choice. Allocate approximately one hour to complete the online application.

It is recommended that you submit your application at least a couple of weeks before your program's application first consideration date to ensure you have time to upload your supporting documents, and your referee's have time to submit their reference letters.

Please note that processing time may take longer during first consideration deadline.
