Acceptable English Proficiency Tests and Scores

Offres d'admission

Basic Requirements for Admission

If you have an admission average of 75% or higher, you will be considered for admission to all programs to which you’ve applied. Your admission average is calculated using your top six 4U/M courses (or equivalent), including subject requirements. Admission requirements vary by program.

Estimated Cut-off Admission Ranges

Estimated cut-off ranges are based on the admission averages from previous years and are provided solely as a point of reference. Exact cut-offs for the current cycle will be determined by the quantity and quality of applications received and the number of spaces available in the program. Co-op averages will often exceed the estimated cut-off ranges. Possession of an admission average within the estimated cut-off range does not guarantee an offer of admission.

Subject Requirements

Subject requirements vary by program. .

Student Profile Form (SPF)

We recognize that non-academic factors play an important role in students’ lives. If you are a high school applicant, the  is your opportunity to tell Admission Services about activities you have been involved in that have helped you develop leadership and citizenship qualities. We will also consider factors beyond your control that have negatively affected your academic performance, such as illness or extenuating circumstances.

If your admission average in May does not meet the cut-off for the program you have applied to, we may consider your SPF if your average falls within a discretionary range of the final cut-off. Submission is optional but strongly encouraged. 

Supplementary Information Form for Students With Disabilities

We strive to provide equal opportunity for academically qualified students with disabilities. If you are a high school applicant and feel your admission average does not reflect your true academic ability as a result of a disability, we encourage you to complete the . We take this form into consideration along with academics for applicants whose admission average falls within a discretionary range of the final cut-off. 

Both forms become available online in November.  

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2025

Rank

If you apply to more than 1 program at the University of Guelph and you have never attended a postsecondary institution, you will be considered for all programs to which you’ve applied.

If you are a transfer applicant (i.e., have attended any postsecondary institution), and you apply to more than 1 program at the University of Guelph, you can expect to receive only 1 offer of admission from the University. The highest-ranked choice will be considered first. Only if you are not admissible to your highest choice will your next choice be considered. If you want to reorder your U of G program rankings, please amend your application on the OUAC website.

Failed and Repeated Courses

The University of Guelph will use the highest grade reported from a Ministry-approved institution for any repeated courses.

Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate

International Baccalaureate (IB)

If you are applying with an IB Diploma, you should present a minimum score of 28, although many programs require a higher score for admission consideration. Reported bonus points will be taken into consideration. You should complete the diploma with 6 subjects: 3 Higher Level and 3 Standard Level. You should also include specific subject requirements for the program you are applying to among your Higher and Standard levels. You should ensure that your predicted scores are submitted using the 7-point scale. 

Note: Math Studies/Standard Level Applications and Interpretations are not an acceptable prerequisite for programs that require Grade 12 Advanced Functions, Calculus or equivalent.

17³Ô¹Ï high school students registered in an IB program will typically have their IB courses converted into 17³Ô¹Ï U- and M-level courses. IB scores will be converted into grades on a percentage scale out of 100 by the applicant's high school. Admission and scholarships will be determined using the conversions as submitted. Upon receipt of official final results from the International Baccalaureate Organization, we will assign specific transfer credits, where applicable, to a maximum of 2.0 credits (4 courses), for grades of 5 or better on Higher Level courses where the applicant has been awarded the IB Diploma or DP Course.

Advanced Placement (AP)

If you completed Advanced Placement Examinations with a minimum grade of 4, you will be eligible to receive university-specific transfer credits (where applicable) to a maximum of 2.0 credits (4 courses), subject to the discretion of the Degree Program Admission Committee. Transfer credit will be assigned once Admission Services receives an official College Board AP exam score report.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

Calculating your Admission Average

We use your top six completed 4U/M (or equivalent) courses, including required courses, to calculate your admission average. Where not available, we use a combination of the top six completed or in-progress 4U/M and completed 3U/M courses, including required subjects. If no 4U/M courses are in-progress or completed, we will use your top six 3U/M courses to calculate your admission average.
