3.4 Academic Awards and Scholarships

UTSC seeks to recognize the excellent academic achievement of students registered in undergraduate degree programs. There are two broad categories of awards:

Admission Awards:
Are available to new students entering UTSC directly from secondary school. There are two types of awards: automatic consideration; or, application or nomination based. UTSC allocates Admission Awards to students entering the first year directly from secondary school. In considering students for scholarships, the University reserves the right to give preference to students whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course. Awards and scholarships may carry additional conditions and criteria for being awarded, or for renewability.

In-course Awards:
Are available to students continuing their studies at UTSC. There are two types of awards: automatic consideration; or, application or nomination based. In-course Awards are given to students who have completed their First, Second or Third year of study towards a Bachelor's degree. For award purposes, a year of study is defined as the completion of 5.0 credits. In order to give more students an opportunity to be recognized for excellent academic achievement UTSC Awards policy permits a student to hold only one major award.

A general condition for holding an Admission or In-course award is that the student must register at UTSC in the following academic year with degree status. Students who have been awarded a scholarship, which is based on enrolment in a particular program of study, must continue in that program to receive the award. UTSC reserves the right to not award a scholarship, if, in a particular year, the academic achievement of the candidate is not of a high standard. To be considered for any award, a student must be enrolled in or graduating from a Bachelor's program.

University of Toronto Scarborough Dean's List:
The Dean's List is published annually in the Fall. All students who have achieved a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.5 or better in their most recent year of study will be considered as long as they have completed a minimum of 1.5 credits during the previous Fall, Winter, and Summer sessions.

Graduation Awards:
Graduation awards are given at the time of graduation. They include medals and prizes awarded for outstanding achievement during the final year of undergraduate study.

Students who graduate at the Fall Convocation are considered for graduation awards in the following year together with students who are graduating at the Spring Convocation.

Recognition of Exceptional Academic Achievement:
Graduating students who have completed at least 10.0 credits while registered at UTSC will be considered for the following recognition:

1. High Distinction:
Students who graduate with a CGPA of 3.50 or better are recognized as graduates "With High Distinction." This achievement is noted on the diploma and transcript.

2. Distinction:
Students who graduate with a CGPA between 3.20 and 3.49 are recognized as graduates "With Distinction." This achievement is noted on the diploma and transcript.

Other students with a CGPA of 3.20 or better will be considered on an individual basis.

For complete information on awards and scholarships, please go to the Office of the Registrar website, and under the "Finances" tab, go to the "Scholarships and Awards" page.
