The Transitional Year Programme at UofT is an access program for individuals who do not have the formal educational background to qualify for direct entry admission to the University. TYP offers an intensive, 8-month, full-time course of studies leading to entrance to the Faculty of Arts and Science degree programs. TYP is aimed specifically at those who did not have an opportunity to finish high
school nor had the grades necessary to directly apply to the university because of financial problems, family obligations or other circumstances beyond their control. The programme accepts mature students and Refugee and Protected Person applicants, however it does not accept international students.
