History
As one of the world’s top educational institutions, the University of Toronto (U of T) is a dynamic destination for unsurpassed excellence.
We are consistently ranked as one of the world’s top universities:
- 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings: First in Canada; 18th in the world
- 2019 Times Higher Education Global University Employability Rankings: Top 15 worldwide in alumni employability
- Reuters’ annual ranking of 100 most innovative universities: First in Canada; 27th in the world
Since 1827, students, faculty and graduates of U of T have been making history and mapping the future. At U of T, exceptional students become extraordinary people by seeking to develop their minds, bodies and spirits through connections with new ideas, people and places.
Studying at U of T is about choice. Entering first year gives you access to more academic programs than at any other Canadian university.
Choice extends to the more than 1,000 student organizations, athletic teams and academic associations, and each of our 3 campuses – St. George Campus, University of Toronto Mississauga and University of Toronto Scarborough – offers different learning environments, experiences and recreational opportunities.
International Opportunities
We offer many different opportunities to participate in exchange programs, including study-abroad programs and international summer programs, through partnerships with leading universities around the world.
Accessibility Services
Accessibility Services are part of our commitment to maintaining an accessible and welcoming university community. Assessment and financial support are available to assist students with physical or learning disabilities, as well as students with chronic health problems.
Services range from on-campus transportation, books on tape and note-taking, to the latest adaptive equipment, which is made available through the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre.

Residence Accommodations
Our student housing offerings are as varied as the people who live in them. We have the same philosophy for housing and community as we do for learning: Different people have different needs.
Refer to the Housing Services website for detailed information.
Scholarships
We offer more than 5,000 admission scholarships that total almost $23 million. In most cases, no separate application is required. We base selection on your overall record, with particular emphasis on the most recent results.
Student Financial Support
For Canadian students, we have a long-standing commitment to promoting access through student financial support. If you are in financial need, you will have access to the resources that will help you meet your financial needs. The commitment assumes that you will first access the government aid you are eligible for.
We assess financial need based on the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). Those whose assessed need is not fully covered by government aid will receive additional funding from us.
U of T Advance Planning for Students (UTAPS)
If you are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident (landed immigrant) or protected person and are concerned about the financial cost of attending university, you can obtain a preliminary estimate for the amount of funding you may expect to receive from government programs and other forms of financial assistance by completing the Financial Aid/UTAPS Online Estimator.
