   • Current high school applicants studying outside of Ontario (including out-of-province and international high school students) or students who have completed their high school diploma but have not attended a post-secondary institution need to apply through the OUAC. After applying through the OUAC application and receiving a York reference number, applicants must submit the Faculty of Education BEd Direct Entry Concurrent Form. Deadline to apply is February 1, 2024.

2. Complete the Supplementary Form and the Online Letter of Recommendation (LOR) – Deadline April 1, 2024

Please be advised that programs in the Faculty of Education are intended to be delivered on campus or in official offsite locations in Toronto; community placements can only be completed in partner organizations and school placements can only be completed at partners school boards, which are located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
