How do I check my application status on the Join U of T portal?

The JOIN U of T portal is the University of Toronto’s online undergraduate applicant community and the primary platform for tracking the status of an application. Below are the detailed steps on how to check your application status on the JOIN U of T portal:

 After Submitting Your Application

Approximately one week after submitting your application online, you will receive an acknowledgment email containing instructions for accessing join.utoronto.ca. This email will also include your JOINid and password. If you do not receive this email, check your spam folder or contact the University of Toronto admissions office.

 Log in to the JOIN U of T Portal

First-time users need to create an account using their email address and the password provided in the acknowledgment email. After logging in, you will be directed to the applicant portal homepage.

 Check Application Status

On the homepage, there is typically a “Check Your Application Status” or similar button. Clicking it will display your application status, including whether it is under review, pending required documents, or if an admission decision has been made. If your application status shows as “Application Under Review” or “Pending Documents,” it means the admissions team is still processing your application and may be waiting for additional documents from you.

 View Required Documents and Submission Status

In the applicant portal, you can find a list of documents required for your application, such as transcripts, English proficiency test scores, supplementary application forms, etc. You can also check which documents have been received by the University of Toronto and which ones are still pending. This helps you understand whether your application materials are complete and whether you need to submit additional documents.

 Receive Admission Decision Notifications

Once an admission decision is made, the University of Toronto will notify you via email, directing you to check the decision on the JOIN U of T portal. You can log in to the portal to view your admission decision, which may include being admitted to U of T, receiving a conditional offer of admission, being placed on a waitlist, or not being admitted to U of T. Admission decisions are released starting in February and continue through late May.

 Other Functions and Information

In addition to checking the application status, the JOIN U of T portal also allows you to verify your contact information, update your personal details, track the status of supplementary applications (if applicable), and access other resources and information related to the application process.

 Notes

   If you have applied to multiple programs or campuses at U of T, you will receive an admission decision from each selected campus or division.

   The admission decision timeline may vary depending on the program and campus. Most admission decisions are released in rounds between January and May. For Ontario secondary school students, conditional offers are typically made between late February and late May. For other applicants, decisions are made on an ongoing basis.

   If you encounter issues accessing the portal, such as login problems, most can be resolved by resetting your password. If the issue persists, contact the University of Toronto admissions office for assistance.

The Join U of T portal is the primary channel for applicants to stay updated on their application status. Regularly logging in to check your status, responding promptly to any requirements from the university, and following the instructions provided in emails and the portal will help you manage your application process more effectively.
