TMU Nursing admission requirements: the 90%+ range, 70% prerequisites and the college sites

TMU's Collaborative Nursing program leads to a TMU Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Students admitted to the TMU campus spend all four years there. Students admitted to a college campus complete the first two years at the college and the last two at TMU, with university and college faculty teaching in all years.

TMU's 2026-27 calendar names Centennial College and George Brown College as partners. TMU's program page for applicants lists grade ranges only for the TMU and Centennial sites. Check which sites are open when you apply.

TMU calls it one of Canada's largest nursing programs.

TMU asks for six Grade 12 U or M courses with an overall average of at least 70%. Required, at 70% or more each: Grade 12 U English (ENG4U or EAE4U preferred), Chemistry (SCH4U), Biology (SBI4U), and a Grade 11 U or M or Grade 12 U math (MCF3M, MCR3U, MCV4U, MDM4U or MHF4U).

Students with earlier university or college study need a CGPA of at least 2.33 (C+) and good standing, with no failures in core prerequisites. Only first-year entry is considered, and students with earlier nursing studies can't get advanced standing.

TMU's program page shows a grade range of 90%+ for the TMU site and 85% to 90% for the Centennial College site. TMU says the average needed changes each year with the number of applications and spaces, and the ranges reflect previous years.

Nursing is a grades-only program, so the decision is based on academic performance. TMU doesn't publish a Nursing acceptance rate; our TMU acceptance rate page explains what it does publish.

TMU's guaranteed consideration date for Fall 2027 is February 1, 2027, for all programs. Complete applications and changes received by then get equal consideration, so send your documents early.

There's no supplementary application and no Casper test for this program.

TMU uses your best six Grade 12 U or M courses, which can include repeated or upgraded marks. The average may or may not include your prerequisites, and TMU works to two decimal places without rounding. The university minimum is 70%.

Grade 11 results may be used in early admission, and offers set the Grade 12 final results you must reach. OUAC has a January deadline, but TMU accepts applications for equal consideration until February 1.

Decisions for grades-only programs like Nursing are rolling, and most come out between February and the end of May. If you applied by February 1 and are placed on a wait list, TMU tells you by late May. You'll see your decision in the ChooseTMU Applicant Portal.

Placements are mandatory. TMU says students have access to more than 250 placement settings across the Greater Toronto Area, including acute care hospitals, long-term care homes, rehabilitation hospitals and community agencies.

Before placements you must complete the Practice Requirements Record with your health care provider, get a vulnerable sector police check, be fitted for a respiratory mask, and hold Healthcare Provider level CPR, renewed every year. Students who aren't cleared can't enrol in clinical courses, and a placement agency can refuse a student whose police check isn't clear.

First-year courses include NSE 111 Foundations for Nursing Practice and PPN 101 Introduction to the Nursing Profession.

Graduates can write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and register with the College of Nurses of Ontario. TMU's calendar lists conditions the College sets for writing the registration exam, so read them before you start.

Your work experience comes through the program's mandatory placements rather than a separate co-op stream.

TMU's Nursing Advanced Entry program is an accelerated BScN over five semesters for students with at least two years of university, equal to 20 TMU credits, completed within the last five years.

It needs a B average (75%, or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale) in your top 20 semester courses and university-level prerequisites at 60% or more. Graduation isn't required.

TMU lists a 2026-27 tuition and fees range of $7,502 to $7,985 for Ontario students, $9,335 to $9,958 for students from other provinces and $38,693 to $41,506 for international students.

TMU's Fall 2027 entrance scholarships are guaranteed and renewable for Canadian high school students who meet the terms: $3,000 a year at 95% or more, $1,500 at 90% to 94.99% and $750 at 86% to 89.99%. Renewal depends on your yearly CGPA. Students admitted to Nursing at the TMU site with 90% or more fall in the $1,500 band or higher.

The site your child picks changes the grade range: 90%+ at TMU and 85% to 90% at Centennial, for the same TMU degree. Listing both sites can widen their chances.

Placement clearances (police check, health record, CPR and mask fitting) take time and have deadlines. Start them as soon as your child accepts. Compare other Ontario programs on our Ontario nursing guide.
