Trent University
Peterborough, Ontario
Trent University teaches in Peterborough and at its Durham campus in Oshawa. Most programs ask for a 70% average, and Nursing applications for Fall 2027 open September 17, 2026.
The short answer
- Apply through OUAC (the Ontario Universities' Application Centre, Ontario's university application site). Trent/Fleming Nursing applications open September 17, 2026, but general Fall 2027 dates are not posted yet.
- Most programs ask for a 70% average and 60% in ENG4U. Nursing and the single-major forensics degrees ask for 75%, and co-op streams usually ask for 80%.
- For 2026–2027, room fees run from $6,500 to $13,300, plus a required dining plan. First-year students who applied and paid $600 by June 3, 2026 were guaranteed a bed.
- Canadian entrance scholarships are automatic from 80%. At 95% or higher, you get $6,118 in first year and up to $18,118 over four years.
- Trent publishes more than 35 co-op streams. Each alternating work term lasts 12 to 16 weeks.

Overview
Trent University at a glance
Choose the campus and program together, then open the page for each decision. Every page lists its official Trent sources and marks which facts are confirmed for Fall 2027 and which are still from the 2026–2027 cycle.
General Fall 2027 undergraduate cycle status
2027 pending · Fall 2027
Trent has not published a complete general Fall 2027 undergraduate calendar. The central admissions page still names March 2, June 3, June 15, and July 30, 2026 checkpoints, while the international scholarship page says Winter, Summer, and Fall 2027 information will be available soon.
Use Trent's standing admission requirements now, but verify the general application, award, residence, deposit, and document dates once the university relabels its central pages for Fall 2027.

This guide also labels 2026–2027 domestic and international tuition, the current scholarship ladders and their official-source conflict, residence rates and dining plans, and co-op fees and work-term rules, each on its own first-party-backed page linked from this overview.
