Winter admission pathway
The pathway
While Telfer School of Management students usually begin their BCom program in the fall, we understand that circumstances may lead you to prefer winter admission. To support you, we offer the winter admission pathway. This program lets you start in January while still completing your degree alongside students who began in the fall, ensuring you can take full advantage of everything Telfer has to offer.

Your winter integration support
Worried about starting in the winter? Don’t be! At Telfer, no student is left behind. We’ve designed integration services and activities for you:
- Academic advisor support: Once you accept your offer of admission, an academic advisor will contact you to assist you with available academic resources and enrolment. Of course, you can enrol on your own, but we're here to support you as well!
- Peer mentors: Connect with upper-year students who have recently taken the courses that you're about to take. They’re a valuable resource for questions — not to mention that they also offer several social and academic development activities. Learn more about the peer mentors.
- Student experience: Our student leaders oversee nearly 20 student clubs at Telfer. They help offer close to 100 events for students each year. For a student like you starting in the winter term, they'll lead several events in early January to support your transition.
- Telfer Career Centre: Even in January, we offer workshops designed to jumpstart your career development. Learn more about the Career Centre.
- Scholarships: We’re proud to offer over 100+ scholarships to students, some with application deadlines during the winter term.
Throughout your time at Telfer, our resources and support will be available to you.

Knowing what courses you need to take is crucial.
