    EARLY CONDITIONAL ADMISSION

    We may offer you early conditional admission if you have strong Grade 11 finals and/or interim Grade 12 results.

    ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)

    You may receive transfer credit if you have completed AP courses with grades of 4 or 5 (maximum 30 credits).

    IF YOU HAVE A DIAGNOSED DISABILITY

    If you have a diagnosed physical, learning, or psychiatric disability, we strongly encourage you to identify yourself during the admissions process. Even if your circumstances don’t impact your admissibility to Glendon (in other words you meet our admission requirements), we want to make sure you know about the support services we have in place. In no way will identifying yourself be a disadvantage to you. More information >>

    REQUESTING A DEFERRAL

    A deferral is a postponement of your admission to York. York recognizes that after being newly admitted, some applicants encounter unique personal circumstances that represent legitimate reasons for requesting a deferral of admission to the next academic session.

    Newly admitted first-year students for September entry may request a deferral through our deferral form. The University grants deferrals at its discretion, only in highly exceptional cases and on a restricted basis. All conditions must be satisfied before a deferral will be granted.

    Offers of admission are conditional upon final grades.
