Hi! i Just got accepted into Life sci at UTSC for fall 2021 and when i applied i had a living arrangement which i sadly dont have anymore. I was wondering how hard it would be to transfer to the st george or even mississauga campus before i start in the fall. Thanks!

hello there,

answering these two questions in one go because they’re pretty similar!

to transfer between campuses, you’d need to apply for an internal transfer. essentially, that would entail going through a sort of admissions process again, in order to transfer to another branch of u of t. i’ve never heard of an internal transfer being done before first year, though. as far as i know, internal transfer applications are only open in the fall/winter. so the earliest you’d be able to attempt a transfer to another campus would be during the upcoming academic year.

if you do decide to do an internal transfer, you’ll need to go through the OUAC process again. you know the one.

yes, again.

keep in mind that your CGPA and most recent annual GPA will be used to make the admissions decision. according to this webpage, you generally need a B average to be a competitive applicant.

anyway, i’d strongly recommend that both of you reach out to your registrar’s office and book an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss this. they might know other avenues you can take, and will generally be more familiar with the internal transfer process given that i’ve never undergone it. you deserve to navigate this with assistance!

(and also, a side note: to the one of you who lost your housing plans, check out this old guide i did on finding housing as a student!)

be Boundless,
