For courses graded as Pass/Fail, a Pass grade does not affect your GPA. However, if you receive a Fail grade in any Pass/Fail courses(s), we do count that grade and it will negatively impact your GPA. Please keep in mind that if you have already submitted a transcript(s) for your graduate application, we will calculate your admissions GPA using the grades on that document, which won’t include any courses you don’t have a grade for yet

Please upload documents to your MyFile account. If you encounter issues doing so, please email the required documents in PDF format to graddocs@yorku.ca. Make sure to include your full name and York reference number in the e-mail.

Documents may also be submitted via mail if necessary. Documents received in the mail can take up to 15 business days to appear on your MyFile.

Any required test scores, such as IELTS or TOEFL, need to be sent by the testing centre directly to York.

We are unable to consider graduate applications without a language proficiency test score, if one is required. We do not offer conditional admission based on language proficiency at the graduate level. All graduate studies applicants must present a language proficiency test score that fulfills a program’s admission requirements in order to be considered for graduate admissions.

Both IELTS and TOEFL have started offering at-home testing in most markets around the world.

York also accepts Duolingo English Language test scores for admission. Scores of 120 and above are required - check your academic program for specific score requirements.
