6 Easy Steps to Apply

1. Find your fit at OISE

We believe everyone deserves access to a quality education that can transform lives and communities. With 12 degree programs and a variety of specializations to choose from, as well as full—or part-time study options, OISE empowers you to pursue your interests while discovering new fields and passions. Whatever your aspirations in education studies may be, we have a program for you.

2. Review admission requirements and deadlines

Each program and degree have distinct requirements for admission, and application deadlines may vary. Review the program requirements and deadlines to ensure that you are well-prepared to submit your application before the specified deadline. If no deadline is indicated, or if a program is open for admission, we highly recommend submitting your application early since applications are reviewed and decisions are made as they are received.

3. Prepare your application

The online application is made up of several components. We have broken it down for you in a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the online application.

4. Apply

Start your online application now using GradApp. The online application allows you to save your progress, so we encourage you to start early.

5. Complete and pay for your application

An application is officially considered submitted only after you have reviewed and submitted your application and paid both the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and the supplemental application fees (total 235.00 CAD). Each fee is paid separately.

Once you have paid both application fees for your first OISE application, there are no additional costs to submit a second and third OISE application within the same academic year.

6. Submit supporting documents

After you submit your application, the Application Checklist section will display your outstanding supporting documents. Once your application has been submitted, you will have up to 10 days to submit your outstanding supporting documents, including transcripts and letters of reference.
