Transcript:
All applicants are required to upload one electronic or scanned official transcript from each post-secondary institution attended. Scanned copies of transcripts must be up to date and must include the transcript “legend”, usually printed on the back of the paper transcript. A notarized English translation must accompany all non-English documentation. You will not be required to submit official paper copies of your transcripts until after the Admissions Committee makes its decision. If admitted, you will be required to submit an official transcript; verification of your paper transcript will be a condition that must be met prior to registration.
Curriculum Vitae:
Upload your academic CV.
Personal Statement:
Download the “Personal Statement”. You will only be able to access this file after you pay the online application fee. Upload the completed “Personal Statement” outlining your professional goals, including details of the specific work you have done so far that has bearing on your future studies. Failure to complete all the questions on the “Personal Statement” form, and upload the form, will disqualify your application.
Recommendation Letter:
Be prepared to submit contact information for two academic referees. Please contact your referees in advance to obtain an email address (preferably a university email address). Be sure to inform your referees that you are doing this and that the University of Toronto, School of Graduate Studies will be contacting them by email. As soon as you have entered all the referee’s contact information and paid the application fee, the system will send an invitation to the referee to submit an appraisal electronically.
Writing Sample:
Upload only one writing sample (in English) between 10 and 20 pages.
