Admission

Estimate

Prerequisites: OSSD; 6 Grade 12 U or M courses with a minimum overall average of 70%; English/anglais (ENG4U/EAE4U preferred) with a minimum grade of 70%

TMU publishes a grade range (70-75%) for this program, not a single admission average; the % shown is the midpoint of that range. TMU states the range represents the average required in previous years.

Admission to Arts and Contemporary Studies depends on more than grades. Confirm current requirements on the official program page.
