How to Apply
Trinity College is one of seven colleges in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the St. George Campus at the University of Toronto. All students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts & Science are a member of one of the colleges.
Trinity admits approximately 450 first-year students each year, and although our admission averages tend to be higher than the Faculty of Arts & Science’s, we do not have set cut-off marks. We also base our admission decisions on more than grades. In addition to your overall academic record, we also take into account your Trinity College Applicant Profile.
