��ҺAƬ

We are aware that some people are misrepresenting themselves as agents, staff, or officers of the University and extending fraudulent offers of admission and scholarships to prospective students. Protect yourself, and the university applicants in your life, by reviewing our best practices for understanding how the ��ҺAƬ does and does not communicate with students. 

• Be skeptical of any unsolicited offers of admission or scholarship guarantees that you receive. We will never offer scholarships, financial aid, or offers of admission to anyone who has not applied through our applications.
• The university does not offer scholarships or financial aid before issuing offers of admission. Applicants are assessed for scholarships during the official application evaluation process. If the University has not offered you admission, be skeptical of any scholarship offer that arrives in your inbox.
• The University will never send official documents, including offers of admission or scholarships, through WhatsApp or any other social media platform. All official documents will be posted on the or the .
• Official communications from the ��ҺAƬ are always sent from @utoronto.ca email addresses. Always verify the senders of emails that you receive. Some common traits of malicious emails include unexpected prompts to click a link, enter credentials, download an attachment, or send money, accompanied by an undertone of urgency (e.g., “do this or your account will be terminated”).
• The ��ҺAƬ only accepts applications to undergraduate programs through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) or the ��ҺAƬ International Application, which is also hosted on OUAC. Application fees must be paid directly to the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC). You will never be asked to pay an application fee to a ��ҺAƬ representative.
• If you receive an official offer of admission to one of our first-entry undergraduate programs, the complete details of the offer will always be in your Join ��ҺAƬ applicant portal or the Engineering Applicant Portal. Any required deposits or payments will be clearly specified in your offer of admission, which will be available on those portals.
• It is not possible, or legal, for a ��ҺAƬ representative to offer you a study permit. Admitted students must apply for a study permit through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), which is a department of Canada’s federal government.
• The university never asks students for payment through e-transfer.

If you are uncertain about any offer or solicitation,  

The ��ҺAƬ does not interact with third-party recruiters or agencies ("educational agents") in order to recruit students to undergraduate programs. We also do not offer guaranteed admission or guaranteed transfer credit programs through high schools of any type. The ��ҺAƬ has select partnerships with the following organizations: 

Other than these select partnerships, the university does not work with agencies for direct admission undergraduate recruitment. 

Some conditional acceptance and enrichment programs at the university have additional partnerships: 

If you have questions about these partnerships, encounter a suspicious claim, or are uncertain of the legitimacy of another organization’s affiliation with the ��ҺAƬ,
