Below you will find frequently asked admissions questions that apply to all of our graduate programs. For an FAQ specific to the Counselling Psychology program, please see Counselling Psychology's FAQs.
The Online Application
Questions here relate to the form completed online and submitted to confirm your application; at the end, you will be required to pay a $125.71听fee to submit your application. Questions relating to the e-package (supporting documents) are in the next section.
Can I apply to more than one program for a single application fee of $125.71?
- Yes, you can create a second application for a different program or degree. It should be noted, however, that acceptance into one of the programs cannot be used as a means to transfer into the other program. If you are accepted into the Research Project Concentration, for example, and want to transfer into the Professional/Internship Concentration, you would be required to submit a formal application and be considered with all applicants for that given application period.
Note: If you apply to two programs your referees will receive two (2)听emails, one for each program applied to, and will need to submit separate reference letters for each program. Please alert your referees that they will be receiving two separate email requests at the same time.
The online application also asks for GPA and Test Scores (such as TOEFL, IELTS) but I do not know what to enter for these categories? Do I convert my GPA?
- You do not need to calculate your GPA as we will do so for all applicants, however you are welcome to provide the score if you'd like. The Counselling Psychology program does not require any test scores other than Proof of English Language proficiency, as indicated above. Scores for this test are to be submitted electronically to the university
The online application asks for my education history. What qualifies and what do I need to provide?
- Candidates are only required to provide their university-level education history in this section. Candidates do not need to report Cegep or High School history. However, it is important to note that your university history must be catalogued in full. Regardless of degree completion, any enrollment in a university institution must be disclosed and transcripts provides. This includes non-credit continuing education courses, student exchange/transfer courses, Certificate or other Special/Independent Student courses completed. Failure to disclose any registrations and provide transcripts for such could result in your refusal to the program.
Selecting Preferred Supervisor(s)
Our thesis/project programs all require applicants to identify up to three (3) potential supervisors. These programs require securing a primary supervisor from within the program's faculty members for an admission offer to be made (co-supervision听from another program/department may be possible). It is therefore in your best interest to review the areas of research of the faculty members in your program of choice听to determine who has expertise that aligns with your research interests. Once you have identified several potential supervisors, you are encouraged to reach out to them via email to find out if they are accepting new students and if they would be interested in taking you on. Note that faculty members will respond (or not) to messages from potential applicants in different ways, with some only considering supervisees after all applications are in. However, you are more likely to be admitted if you have a supervisor lined up. You will find links to faculty members profiles and research websites on our People page.听听It is recommended that you review the research website of the faculty member(s)听you may be interested in working with. Many of our professors have their own processes and requirements for admitting new students into their respective labs.

Do I need to submit GRE scores?听
- The GRE is not required for any of our programs.听However, if you have taken them they will be attached to your application. They will not be a focus of the application but considered supplemental.
Do I need to submit a transcript if I have a course in progress?
- Yes. If you are currently enrolled in courses and your transcript does not yet include the current semester's grades, you are still required to upload unofficial transcripts
