If you're looking specifically for Ontario homeschool information, be sure to visit Sarah Rainsberger's University Admissions Blog for Homeschoolers in Ontario.

For more general information about getting into university in Canada (with or without a high school diploma!), visit University Admissions . ca . This site describes all the ways you can get into university in Canada and has information on all Canadian universities.

This isn't a high traffic message board but you are welcome to add information and ask questions regarding Ontario University Admission policies for Homeschooled and other non-traditional students. Click the "Recent Activity" link near the top right to see the latest posts. There's not a lot of posting, but I do reply to all questions!

As you navigate the university admission process as a homeschooler, mature student or anyone without the traditional academic credentials required for normal university entrance, I hope the policies here will be useful. If you notice something has changed or is out of date, don't hesitate to log in and update the information.

current as of June 10, 2009:

Home-schooled applicant
Home-schooled applicants are students who have completed the Ontario secondary school curriculum through an authorized home schooling program.

How to apply

Home-schooled applicants will be evaluated on the basis of standardized tests (through distance learning or alternative education centres) or on a combination of SAT II tests and a portfolio. Parent generated transcripts will be accepted as a reflection of courses completed and marks attained but these transcripts must be submitted in conjunction with standardized test scores.

Applicants who have completed courses through distance learning or alternative education centres should include marks from these courses at the time of application. If official transcripts like these indicate completion of specific prerequisite subjects then there is no need to submit SAT II test scores or a portfolio.

Alternatively, applicants may write four subject-specific SAT II tests. A minimum score of 600 is required to demonstrate sufficient background in the subject. Below are the required SAT IIs for each program.

Faculty of Business and Information Technology - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), 2 other SAT IIs
Faculty of Criminology, Justice and Social Policy - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), 2 other SAT IIs
Faculty of Education - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), Biology (Ecological or Molecular) and Physics or Chemistry
Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), Physics and Chemistry
Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), Physics and Chemistry
Faculty of Health Sciences - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), Biology (Ecological or Molecular) and Physics or Chemistry
Faculty of Science - Writing, Mathematics (Level II C), Biology (Ecological or Molecular) and Physics or Chemistry

Applicants presenting SAT II test scores must also submit a personal/career portfolio. This should detail personal and community participation and achievements including academic, volunteering and mentorship. In addition, the portfolio should include an essay detailing future goals and reasoning for application to their program of choice. A letter of reference to support the application should also be submitted.

UOIT reserves the right to accept or deny students based on overall performance of the measures listed above.
