Apply to Graduate Programs
How to Apply |
|
More Detail |
| Step 1. Complete the School of Graduate Studies Application and Upload Scanned Academic Transcripts |
|
Applying to Graduate Programs in the Department of Civil Engineering requires the completion of BOTH the School of Graduate Studies Application in Step 1 AND the Departmental Application described in Step 3. If you do not submit both applications, the admissions process will be delayed.
We no longer require hard copies of transcripts to be sent to our office at the time of application. Transcripts must be scanned and uploaded to the SGS online application. Please see the section on transcripts below for more information.
Referee information is entered in Step Three (the Civil Departmental Application) and is not to be entered in the SGS Application.

|
|
| Step 2. Pay the Application Fee |
|
When you submit your applicant profile, the SGS website will prompt you to make arrangements for payment of the application fee. You may pay the application fee online by credit card or off-line by credit card, certified cheque or money order. Cheques and money orders should be made payable to the University of Toronto. If you pay off-line, you must forward a hard copy of the Payment Form directly to the School of Graduate Studies.
|
| |
|
|
| Step 3. Complete the Civil Engineering Online Application |
|
If you do not complete Step 3, your application will not be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
Completion of this application requires that you upload a statement of intent , a resume, and contact information for your two referees, who will upload their references directly to the website. You will also be required to select your areas of research preference or study interest.
|
|
|
|
| Step 4. Send Required Documents to the Department of Civil Engineering |
|
The only document you must send at the time of application is a copy of your English Facility Test, if applicable. Paper copies of transcripts sent to our office cannot be processed for your application and cannot be returned to you.
Only after admission will you be required to send us sealed original hard copies of your transcripts. Please see the section on transcripts below for more information.
|
Note: Please disregard the checklist at the end of the SGS online payment application. Please only send hardcopies of the English Facility Test Score (if applicable) directly to the Department of Civil Engineering (address at bottom of page).
Every year, we receive over 1000 applications. Once your references are received on-line, your application is considered to be under review. You can check the status of your application by logging in to the Civil Department on-line application. Admission decisions will be communicated starting in March.

Applicants must scan their official transcripts for all postsecondary programs completed, attempted, or in progress, and upload them as part of the SGS on-line application, outlined in Step 1 above. Transcripts must list the years of study, courses taken and grades received. In cases where the program was completed, the transcript must also show that the degree was conferred. More information on scanning transcripts can be found in the SGS on-line application instructions.
Unsolicited copies of transcripts sent to our office will not be processed.
You will not be required to submit official paper copies of your transcripts until after the admissions committee makes its decision. If admitted, you will be required to submit an official transcript, and verification of your paper transcript will be a condition that must be met prior to registration. Official transcripts must be in sealed envelopes bearing the original institutional stamp or signature across the back flap. |
