Next Steps

The following step-by-step instructions will help you navigate through the admission process.

Know Your Trent Identification Number

You should have received an e-mail from us confirming receipt of your application. In that message we provided your Trent Identification Number (7 digit number starting with “0”) and please use this number every time you correspond with us. If your application is successful, it will become your official Trent University Student Number.

Your MyTrent Portal

Activate your MyTrent account through this link. In your MyTrent portal, under Academics, Admissions, you will find everything related to your admission application.  Any changes and updated will be posted there and please monitor your MyTrent on a regular basis.

Submit required documents to complete your application

Once we receive and assess your application form, we will post the required documents for admission assessment on your MyTrent under “Required Document” icon, located under Academics, Admissions. You have the following options for submitting your documents:

• using specific upload forms available on your MyTrent portal. Documents received this way will be considered unofficial and may be used for conditional offers only. Official documents will be required if you receive an offer and decide to accept it.
• sending original (hard) copies by mail. The address is located under the "Required Documents" icon, under Admissions, Academics on your MyTrent. Submitted documents become the property of Trent University and will not be returned.
• having your current institution e-mail us your official transcript to internationaladmissions@trentu.ca.

There are deadlines for completing an admission application* as follows:
 

*Some programs may have earlier deadlines.

If you are applying for admission on the basis of completion of high school, then we would normally require an official high school transcript, including your senior year mid-year and/or predicted, final (if applicable) grades. When on-line verification of final results is available, we will verify your final results on-line.

If you are applying for admission on the basis of post-secondary institution(s), then we would still require an official final high school transcript PLUS an official post-secondary transcript with most recently completed courses/grades. In some cases, we may also require WES (World Education Services) evaluation to proceed with an admission assessment.
At this admission stage, we will review your qualifications for transfer credits eligibility and update your MyTrent portal with our initial assessment. If eligible, the actual transfer credit assessment will take place once you have been admitted, accepted our admission offer, submitted an official final transcript and course syllabus.

For students applying for Post-Graduate Certificate programs, an official university transcript and confirmation of a Bachelor degree completion is required. 

Processing times and admission process

Our processing and decision making times vary depending on the month (January-May are being the busiest months). As we work with your application, we will be updating your MyTrent on a regular basis. For most of our programs, admission decisions are released on a rolling basis – it means that as soon as we have received the required documentation to make an admission decision, it will be released and you will be notified.  Admission letters will follow shortly after the notification. We issue electronic copies of admission letters only.
