The University of Toronto’s access and bridging programs enable adults who do not have the formal requirements for University admission to meet them.

Transitional Year Programme (TYP)

TYP is a full-time, eight-month program for adults who do not have the formal qualifications for university admission. Many participants grew up in communities with little or no access to higher education.

Academic Bridging

Academic Bridging assists students who have been away from formal education for some time and do not meet the University’s formal requirements for admission. Students who successfully complete the Academic Bridging Program are admitted to the Faculty of Arts & Science, with credit towards their degree.

Graduate & Professionals Admissions

Indigenous students can build on their undergraduate degree with U of T’s rich selection of professional and graduate programs. While some programs require university preparation, others require a university degree. See faculty websites for specific admission information.

The School of Graduate Studies provides support and guidance for Indigenous students, including working with non-Indigenous supervisors and navigating hierarchical relationships.

Professional faculties such as Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and the Faculty of Law also have embedded assistance. Other support services include Supporting Indigenous Graduate Enhancement (SAGE), a student-driven initiative focused on enhancing the academic experiences of Indigenous graduate students at the University of Toronto.
