Individual University Listings This booklet is provides brief information about the individual Ontario universities that participate in the OMG program. Please consult the home page and other websites recommended by each individual university for updated information. In using the individual university listings, please note the following: In Canada Undergraduates or Undergraduate Students are students studying for a Bachelor degree; Graduate Students are enrolled for Masters or PhD degrees. The term Postgraduate Student is not commonly used in Canada. In Canada, a Program refers to studies towards a specific degree or diploma, i.e. the B.A. program in Geography. Each student attends lectures in specific Courses, i.e. SS1020 Introduction to Psychology. ESL refers to English as a Second Language. This usually refers to special help and lessons for those students who need help with English. UHIP is the acronym for the University Health Insurance Plan, which is mandatory for all Maharashtra and Goa students on the OMG program (the University of Windsor has its own required health insurance plan that replaces UHIP). In 20092010, it costs $63.00 per month. A meal plan is a pre-paid plan through which students pay for meals at cafeterias and restaurants, and in some cases for food and supplies in grocery stores. TOEFL: Test of English as a Foreign Language MELAB: Michigan English Language Assessment Battery CPE: Cambridge English Proficiency IELTS: International English Language Testing System CAEL: Canadian Academic English Language Most universities run on the semester system, with the Fall semester starting in September and the Winter semester in January. The University of Waterloo operates on a trimester system, with Fall (September), Winter (January) and Spring (May) terms.

Exchange students must exceed minimum requirements for entry into the program. Biology: Courses at the graduate level in biology (5000, 6000) are not open to exchange students. Students take courses as part of research projects at York and therefore, students not attached to a research project are not eligible to enrol in the courses. Exchange applicants interested in biology at the graduate level should already be involved in a research project at their home university and should submit an application including a summary of the research project. Undertaking this type of program while on exchange requires an appointed supervisor; therefore, York International will submit the summary to the appropriate representative in the Program for review and recommendation. Exchange applicants who have made independent contact with the department and already have a designated supervisor, should submit a letter of invitation from the York professor with his/her exchange application. Acceptance of the proposal is not guaranteed, but reviewed on a case by case basis and depends on availability of York professors willing and able to act as supervisors. See listing under Undergraduate Study above for further details. See listing under Undergraduate Study above. For graduate admission, students must have completed at least 7 semesters of study in their primary field. Include separate information on any intern-ships completed in primary field of study.
