Experiences Across Campuses
Campus Assignment and Admissions
Find answers to your frequently asked questions regarding applying to the MScPT program at St. George or Scarborough campuses.
Where is the MScPT program located?
The University of Toronto’s MScPT program is available on two campuses: the St. George campus in downtown Toronto and University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) campus. If admitted to the MScPT program, students will be permanently assigned to a campus. Applicants are automatically considered for both the St. George and Scarborough campuses.
Can I indicate my preference for being assigned to a particular campus, Scarborough or St. George?
Yes – all applicants will select a preferred campus in their ORPAS application from the following options:
-
Prefer Scarborough campus (UTSC)
-
Prefer St. George campus (UTSG)
-
No preference
Campus preference does not impact admission decisions and an offer of admission does not guarantee that you will be assigned to your preferred campus.
If I indicate a particular campus preference in ORPAS, will it improve my chances of getting into the MScPT program?
No – enrolment selection is based on a combination of academic background, prerequisites, sub-GPA, references, and performance on the Computer Administered Profile.
If you are selected for admission, your preference for a campus will be considered but not guaranteed. No matter what campus you choose as your preference, rest assured you will still be considered for both campuses.
How many students will be assigned to each campus?
110 students will be assigned to the St. George campus and 40 students to the Scarborough campus.
If I receive an offer of admission to the MScPT program, how do I respond?
The official offer of admission email will contain specific instructions.
In the ORPAS online portal, on the official offer date, it will simply show whether you have an MScPT program offer or not; the ORPAS portal will not display your campus assignment. Instead, an email from us on the offer date will state your campus assignment.
Can students transfer between campuses?
Campus assignment is permanent; you may not transfer between campuses.
Learning Across the Campuses
Find answers to your frequently asked questions about the student learning experience in Scarborough.
What will the teaching be like on each campus?
Most sessions will occur simultaneously at the St. George and Scarborough campuses and be streamed between the campuses. Sessions may occur at St. George campus and be streamed to Scarborough campus or occur at Scarborough campus and be streamed to St. George campus. Faculty will be present at both sites for all sessions.
Will I have access to the same clinical placement opportunities regardless of the campus assignment?
Yes – clinical education faculty will ensure that you have equitable access to placement opportunities regardless of which campus you are assigned to.
Will there be any restriction on academic resources I can access if I am placed at the Scarborough campus, such as access to library services?
All academic resources will be available to all MScPT students, regardless of campus assignment.
I expect to have academic accommodations (e.g. learning disability) in place. Can I be accommodated on both campuses?
Yes – students at both campuses have access to the University’s Accessibility Services, as well as a wide range of academic and health resources.
Will students need to travel between the two campuses?
Students will need to travel between the two campuses a few times throughout the program for activities, such as interprofessional education.
