Full source wording

Verbatim: "There is no specific Undergraduate application deadline if you are a Group B applicant. Deadlines vary at each university and sometimes depend on the program. Visit the university websites or contact the universities directly for their deadlines. If you are interested in a program but the deadline has passed, you may contact the university's admission office for help. Be aware of university-specific deadlines for submitting transcripts and portfolios, if required, and for arranging interviews and auditions. You must ensure the OUAC has enough time to process your choices before the universities' program deadlines." OUAC defines Group B as anyone who does not meet the Group A criteria, e.g. not currently taking an Ontario high school course, a Canadian outside Ontario, an international applicant, a postsecondary transfer student, or a mature applicant.

Optional Lassonde Boost

Lassonde first-year applicants choosing Boost; engineering specialisation guarantees are separately scoped

The Boost digital interview is optional and can support your academic application; it is not a universal first-year admission requirement.
Engineering applicants seeking a programme guarantee submit programme choices using the invitation link. Software and Computer Engineering require this guarantee for entry to those second-year specialisations.
The completion date depends on your individual invitation; no common 2027 day is published on this page.

Full IB Diploma subjects: BEng

Applicants assessed on the full IB Diploma curriculum; exact BEng programme variant

Complete the IB Diploma with passes in six subjects: three Higher and three Standard Level, or four Higher and two Standard Level.
BEng subjects: Chemistry and Physics at Standard/Higher Level, plus Mathematics Analysis and Approaches SL/HL or Applications and Interpretations HL.

Degree requirements

Credits and degree requirements

All York undergraduate degrees require at least 30 credits completed at York University. Faculties also impose an in-Faculty residency requirement.
This is the common university minimum only. Lassonde Engineering’s programme credits, professional requirements and higher residency rules must also be satisfied; no BEng total or complete programme review is inferred.
