University of Guelph-Humber

Admission requirements

If you have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (or equivalent) and have completed six or more 4U/M courses (or equivalent), then your admission average will be calculated using your top six 4U/M courses (or equivalent), including subject requirements, similar to an applicant currently attending high school.

Admission average

Your admission average is calculated using the respective admission requirements for your province/territory, including subject requirements. This average is calculated using your final grades presented in your high school diploma. If you are currently enrolled in additional coursework, please ensure your school counsellor/administrator emails your in-progress/mid-term marks to Admission Services by April 1, 2024. Should you be admitted, a final official transcript will be required.

Final admission average

Your final admission average is calculated using final grade data sent to us. Renewable entrance scholarships are based on final admission average.

Estimated cut-off range

Estimated cut-off ranges are based on the admission averages from previous years and are provided as a point of reference. Exact cut-offs for the current cycle will be determined by the quantity and quality of applications received and the number of places available in the respective program. Possession of an admission average within the estimated cut-off range does not guarantee an offer of admission.

Repeated courses, summer school, night school and correspondence

The University will use the highest grade reported for grade 12 courses taken at a Ministry-approved school prior to June 2024, regardless of format.

Transcripts

Please refer to the Required documents section in the "Applying" tab above for more information.

English language requirements

If your first language is not English, or if you have completed less than four years of study in English at the secondary (or postsecondary) level, then you are required to submit proof of English proficiency. Please check our English language requirements to ensure you will meet all admission requirements.

You will receive an email with detailed instructions (after you apply) if you are required to demonstrate English proficiency as part of your application.

Please note: The University reserves the right to deny admission to you if you do not demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in English, regardless of academic qualifications.

Supplementary Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF-D)

The University of Guelph-Humber strives to provide equal opportunity for academically qualified students with disabilities. If you believe that your admission average does not reflect your true academic ability as a result of a disability, you are encouraged to complete the SIF- D on the University of Guelph website.

If you identify as a student with disabilities and your admission average does not meet the cut-off for the program to which you have applied, your SIF-D may be considered if your average is within a discretionary range of the determined cut-off (up to 5%). If you have an admission average of 70–74.9%, it is strongly recommended that you submit a profile to be considered for admission. Optional to complete. Deadline is March 1, 2024.

For more information, visit our Student Profile webpage  .

Please note: Documents submitted in support of an application become the property of the University and will not be returned. Documents are protected under Ontario provincial privacy legislation.

Shortly after you apply, you will receive an email from the University acknowledging your application.

Official transcripts

A transcript is an official record of your academic performance at an educational institution. A transcript is considered official if it is produced by and bears the seal of the issuing institution. You must declare all educational institutions attended.

Check your WebAdvisor account to see what transcripts are required.

How to submit transcripts

You must arrange to have your high school transcript and any in-progress course transcripts sent to Admission Services. Certain high schools in Ontario and British Columbia allow you to request your official high school transcript electronically through the OUAC. If your high school is not included in this service, you need to contact your school board to arrange for your official transcript to be emailed directly to Admission Services. Please ask to have your OUAC Reference Number included on your transcript.

Other required documents

Check your WebAdvisor account to see what other documents are required (if any). Documents may include the following:

• Education Declaration: You will be notified on your WebAdvisor account if we require this form. You can access the Education Declaration through your WebAdvisor account  . It is a form provided by the University to document your academic history.
• Proof of English proficiency: If the University notified you that you must provide proof of English proficiency then please ensure you request your documents be sent to Admission Services. Test results must be less than two years old prior to your application. IELTS and Duolingo results can be emailed to Admissions for verification. All other test results can be sent to the University via the testing institution. The University reserves the right to deny admission to you if you do not demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in English, regardless of academic qualifications.

About your offer

Every offer of admission is conditional. When you accept your offer it is with the assumption that all conditions of that offer will be met by a deadline outlined in your offer.

Your offer of admission is valid unless you fail to meet the conditions of the offer or you decline the offer. If you are not contacted by the University, then your offer of admission stands as outlined in the original offer. In this case, NO NEWS MEANS GOOD NEWS.

Don't hesitate to contact us with any concerns.

Deferrals

If you have been admitted to a program at the University but are unable to begin your studies in the fall, you may request to defer your offer. You must first accept your offer of admission. For further instructions, please read the "After Accepting" section.

If you are entering into first-year Early Childhood Studies, you may be required to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check/Screening before your first-year placement/internship begins. Check the New Student Guide for more information and visit our Get Ready for Placement page for timelines.

If you have received an offer of admission, you are eligible to apply for residence (humber.ca/residence)  . Residence operates on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore, you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible (after you receive an offer). Learn more about residence.

The application process is a two-step process that can take a few days to complete because you need to wait for step 1 to be processed before you can complete step 2. Please do not leave applying for residence to the last minute.

Humber is responsible for residence facilities at UofGH. Any changes/updates about residence will be posted on Humber Residence web pages.

The best way to learn more is to participate in one of our events or webinars.

You can also take a look through our website to learn about Academic Advisors, Career and Placement Services and campus life.

After accepting, you'll receive information on next steps from your Advisor/Student Services office in the late spring.

Discover the advising supports available to you, how to navigate WebAdvisor (our student administration system), and key upcoming dates.

If you want to defer your offer of admission

You may request a deferral if you have accepted your offer of admission into a University of Guelph-Humber program but are unable to begin your studies in Fall 2024. A fee applies.

As an alternative, you may consider studying part-time by taking a reduced course load and enrolling in less than 2.00 credits (four courses). Before doing so, we recommend you contact:

• Your Academic Advisor to understand the impact of course selection and course sequencing.
• Student Financial Services to discuss the potential impact to the conditions of your scholarship, OSAP and other funding.

To be considered for a deferral you must:

• Accept your offer of admission by the June 3 deadline (or as otherwise noted in your offer).
• Meet all conditions outlined in your Offer of Admission by the deadline noted on your offer.
• Submit the deferral application through WebAdvisor.
• Not attend any other postsecondary institution during the deferral period.

Deferral application process

1. Complete the application. The deferral application opens June 3, 2024 through WebAdvisor under the “Applicant” menu. To access WebAdvisor, you will need your central login information (sent to you via email).
2. You must submit the application form and the $90 fee.
3. Applications are considered on a rolling basis for students who satisfy the conditions of their offer. Once we have considered your application, we will communicate the decision to you by email.
4. If you submit a deferral application and later choose to withdraw that application to begin classes in 2024, please email Admission Services.
5. If you are granted a deferral, you will receive a new Offer of Admission by the following February.

There are programs and events at UofGH you can be a part of before you come to campus in September.
