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 >>

Apply through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) for September or January entry. None of our programs offer an entry in May. If applying exclusively to York, you can also apply directly via the website.

What to send with your application:

  1. Transcripts
      • Official transcripts for all courses you’ve completed. If you’re currently completing courses, send a transcript showing your course enrolment and grades to date as soon as you apply and then again at the end of the semester.
      • If possible, have your school send predicted results as soon as they become available.
      • Send the official results of the Baccalauréat français once they have been issued.

    Note:

      • Official transcripts must be sent to the Office of Admissions directly from the educational institution or sent in an institutionally-sealed envelope (that remains unopened).
      • Transcripts, certificates, and other formal academic credentials not in English or French must also be translated by a certified translator and included with the original document.
      • Make sure you use the same name on all documentation when you are submitting them to York University. This will ensure that your application is processed without delay.
      • Note that it may take 3-4 weeks for us to receive documents mailed from outside Canada.

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.
