How To Apply: Canadian Undergraduate Applicants

The first big step of the application process and your post-secondary future is finding the perfect program for you!

Once you’ve found a program you’re interested in, check the Admission Requirements section on the program page to make sure you’re eligible to apply and will meet all of the program prerequisites.

Note: In addition to the program prerequisites, the Architectural Studies program and the Indigenous Social Work program require additional documents as part of your application. For more information, visit the Admission Requirements section of the program page.
