Mechanical Engineering admission requirements for Ontario university students

Transfer student information

Due to the structured nature of our Engineering programs and to ensure that all students have the same foundation of knowledge and skills, transfer students are considered for admission to first year only.

The five courses required for admission can be university or high school courses or a mix of the two. If the high school courses listed in the program requirements are not for the province/territory in which you completed high school, you should search for the university transfer student admission requirements again and choose the province/territory in which you completed high school.

When reviewing your application, we'll use the course at the highest academic level you completed. If you took the required math and science courses more than three years before your intended start date, those courses may need to be updated. Email the admissions office for more information.
