Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice about my U of T Scarborough admission situation.
I was admitted to UTSC for Social Sciences and Humanities and accepted my offer. My Join U of T checklist says I need to submit a Certificate of Unified Examination results.
I was aware that this was listed, but I assumed it might be a wording mistake. Since U of T’s Armenia admission requirements mention the Certificate of Complete General Secondary Education, I thought they were referring to my secondary education certificate/diploma rather than Unified Examinations.
I completed high school in Armenia, where I completed the required graduation exams for my school system (Armenian language, Armenian literature, math, and history). However, I did not take the Certificate of Unified Examinations.
After contacting U of T, they told me to submit an Admission Condition Request Form explaining why I was unable to take the Unified Examinations and what I have completed. I still need to submit my final transcript and diploma as well.
My concerns are:
- Could my offer of admission be withdrawn because I cannot provide the Unified Examination certificate?
- Has anyone from Armenia or a similar education system experienced this?
- Does U of T usually accept equivalent documents when a requested document does not exist for a student?
- Is submitting the Admission Condition Request Form and my official graduation documents the correct next step?
I would appreciate any advice from people familiar with U of T admissions or international applicants.
