Student Profile

The Student Profile (SP) is your opportunity to tell us about factors that may have impacted your grades. If your admission average does not meet the cut-off for the program to which you have applied, your SP may be considered in May 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 SP to be considered for admission. Profiles must be completed online (separate from the OUAC) and are due May 1, 2023.

Supplementary Information Form for Students with Disabilities

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 Supplementary Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF- D) on the University of Guelph website.

If you have an admission average of 70–74.9%, or if your admission average does not meet the cut-off for the program to which you have applied, it is strongly recommended that you submit a SIF-D. Your SIF-D may be considered in May if your admission average is within a discretionary range of the determined cut-off (up to 5%). Deadline is May 1, 2023.

All high school (level) applicants will receive a decision on their application by May 29, 2023.

You can refer to your WebAdvisor account for your admission status. Our definitions page can assist you with understanding some of the terminology used on WebAdvisor.

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 letter.

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 (i.e., we do not send out a final offer letter). 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 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. Residence operates on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore, you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible (after you receive an offer).

Applications for fall residence open February 2023. The deadline to apply is June 1, 2023.

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, please check their information for current updates.

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

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 2023. 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 1 deadline (or as otherwise noted in your offer letter).
• Meet all conditions outlined in your Offer of Admission by the deadline noted on your offer letter.
• 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 is available June 1 to July 28 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 by July 28.
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 2023, 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.
