Can I get transfer credits?
Where a candidate has completed appropriate graduate courses at an acceptable level from another academic institution, but has not been granted a degree using those courses, they may be considered in partial fulfillment of Ryerson's graduate degree requirements. Responsibility for assessing the appropriateness of such courses shall rest with the Director of the Program. Credit for such work shall not exceed fifty percent of the Program's course requirements.
When should I submit my application?
The online application is generally available in mid-October. Application deadlines for first consideration vary from program to program. Can I apply after the first consideration date?
Yes, we will continue to accept applications and documentation after the first consideration date until the program has filled all of its space for the fall. However, complete applications received prior to the date will receive priority consideration for admission, scholarships and awards.

Ontario Universities Application Centre

Do I need to submit an English Proficiency Test?
If the medium of instruction during your undergraduate education was a language other than English, you will need to submit an English Proficiency Score that meets our minimum requirement. This should be met prior to applying and must be met before an application is reviewed. If the medium of instruction was English, you will be required to submit proof such as an English medium Letter issued directly by the institution.
How do I check the status of my application?
Each applicant should receive an automatic e-mail acknowledging their on-line application and giving them instructions on how to create a RAMSS account to check the status of their application materials.
Make sure to check all junk mail as emails are sent within 2-3 business days from the time you submit your application payment.
What is a 'To Do List' and are the listed items received or missing?
The 'to do' list is on the right hand side of your "Student Centre", which can be found by clicking on the RAMSS tab at the top of the screen after you log into my.ryerson.ca. If there are NO to do's, then everything has been received.
If your checklist is showing, 'to do' items, this means that any listed items are still missing. Click on details for more information regarding the document listed.
When will I receive a decision?
Decisions will generally begin in mid to late March and continue through the spring and summer.
