Application Process

Please note that once files are complete and decisions have been made on applications, applicants will receive written notice of their status.

  1. All applicants (part-time and full-time) must submit a $35 CAD non-refundable application fee. International applicants may submit this fee in US funds ($35 USD). Cheques or money orders should be made payable to St. Thomas University. Please note that applicants who have previously been accepted to and completed courses at St. Thomas University within the past three years are not required to pay the $35 application fee.

  2. High School applicants: Grade 12 students who have achieved an average of 80% or higher on five Grade 11 academic courses, including English literature, and whose Grade 12 programmes satisfy the university’s subject distribution requirements, will receive conditional offers of admission during the first semester of their senior year. Applicants who wish to be considered under this policy may, beginning in October, submit their high school transcript showing Grade 11 (junior year) final grades, as well as first- and second-term Grade 12 (senior year) courses directly to the Admissions Office by December 3, 2012.

    High school students who apply after December 3, 2012, or whose admission averages do not meet the above criteria, should arrange for a high school transcript showing Grade 12 first-semester results (or Grade 12 mid-year results for non-semestered schools) to be sent to the Admissions Office as soon as it is available. Qualified candidates will be offered conditional acceptance when these results are received.

    Scholarships: All applicants who wish to be considered for scholarships (including the guaranteed scholarships) must submit a transcript showing their Grade 12 first-semester results (or Grade 12 mid-year results for non-semestered schools) to the Admissions Office. For major scholarships, transcripts must be received by March 1, 2013.

  3. International applicants: Applicants whose primary language is not English, must arrange to have an official copy of their English proficiency scores (TOEFL, IELTS or MELAB) sent directly to the Admissions Office. The St. Thomas University ETS institution code is 0803. International applicants who indicate that they are Permanent Residents must provide a photocopy of their official Permanent Resident cards.

    Applicants who have written an external exam (e.g. AP, IB, GCE), must arrrange to have their results forwarded to the Admissions Office.

  4. Transfer applicants: Please arrange for an official copy of all college and/or university transcripts to be sent directly to the Admissions Office.

  5. Adult Learners (applicants 21 years or older who are not eligible under the high school admission requirements and have not attended a post-secondary institution): Adult Learner applicants must submit a letter describing their educational background, work experience and academic plans. Mature candidates must also submit academic transcripts (e.g. high school, GED).

  6. Applicants who have been required to withdraw from St. Thomas or from any other post-secondary institution must submit a letter explaining the reasons for their poor academic performance and why they are likely to be successful if readmitted to university. Such students cannot be considered for readmission/admission for at least 12 months from the time they were dismissed from their institutions.

  7. Scholarship applicants must complete and submit a St. Thomas Scholarship application form.

  8. Applicants who plan to live on campus must complete and submit a Residence application form.

There is no direct entry to the Certificate Programmes from high school as special admission requirements apply. Please refer to Certificate Programmes for details.
