Academic Requirements
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent with a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M courses including the following program specific requirements (a minimum grade of 60% is required in each unless a higher grade is indicated; a minimum overall average of 70% establishes eligibility for admission consideration; subject to competition individual programs may require higher pre-requisite grades and/or higher overall averages):
- English/Anglais
Alternate Admission Requirements/Equivalent Standing
Applicants educated outside of Ontario must submit evidence of education equivalent to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six Grade 12 U or M courses. It is essential that program-specific subject requirements and grades for specific Ryerson programs form part of the academic background of applicants from outside Ontario, especially in the last two years of secondary school studies.
The number of applications we receive greatly exceeds the number of spaces available in each program and the possession of the minimum requirements in no way guarantees acceptance. Due to competition candidates may be required to present average/grades above the minimum.
Alternate admission requirements/equivalent standing outlined below represent the minimum qualifications for admission consideration and are subject to change.

British-Patterned Education (Under review)
Applicants must present the following: GCE A Level – At least two A Levels in different subject areas with predicted grades of ‘C’,’B’ or higher and final grades of ‘C’,’B’ or higher. (These requirements are under review.) GCE AS Level – Two AS Levels are acceptable in place of an A Level. GCSE O Level – At least three different subjects at the GCSE O Level with final grades of at least ‘C’,’C’,’B’ or higher. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Higher results may be required for some programs due to competition. Applicants who do not meet the above requirements may also be considered on an individual basis subject to space and competition. Prerequisite subjects should be presented at the GCE A Level, however excellent AS Level and GCSE O Levels will be considered for some programs. English at the GCE A Level is required for programs in the Faculty of Arts (excluding Geography and International Economics and Finance), as well as Journalism, Radio and Television and Business Management. English at the GCE A Level is recommended for all other programs. Completion of the GCSE O Level in English as a Second Language with a grade between ‘A’-’C’ will be considered in order to meet the English prerequisite subject requirement (except where noted otherwise above). It will not, however, replace an English Language Proficiency Test (i.e. TOEFL, IELTS, etc.) Applicants to programs in the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science must include mathematics and either physics or chemistry at the GCE A Level. Preference will be given to applicants who include all applicable program subject prerequisite requirements at the GCE A Level. GCE A Levels with grades of ‘C’ or better may be considered for transfer credit on an individual basis. No transfer credit is given for AS Levels. No transfer credit is given for courses taught by the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science.View specific subject requirements in |
