Yes. FARM is an admission category that you apply directly to through Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC).
If you do not get into FARM directly out of high school, you may still be able to get into FARM in your second year. If you are not admitted directly, but you have been made an alternate admission offer (e.g. Mathematics honours [co-op or regular]) then you will be a student in the Faculty of Mathematics and you will attempt a transfer into FARM in your second year. Please see information for current math students for details.
Students from other Faculty of Mathematics programs can transfer into the FARM program after successfully completing ten courses. This means that you will be in the first term of your second year when you apply to transfer. There is a slightly higher tuition structure for FARM and thus transfers must be in this term to be fair to all students. Do not wait until the end of the term to attempt a transfer. You very likely will be denied since transfers generally need to be done in the first three weeks of classes.
The ten courses that most students complete to be considered include:
and three of the following six non-math courses:
Students must have a 75% overall average to be admitted.
