Yorkville Referral Program

*The referral incentive bonus has been increased from $250 to $500 for referral applications made on and after July 18th, 2024 to appreciate the contributions of our students and alumni in promoting our programs and connecting us with purposeful individuals.

Eligibility 

To be eligible to participate in the YRP, referring individuals must be enrolled in or have successfully completed and graduated from a Yorkville University program (an “Eligible Student or Graduate”).

Terms and Conditions:

The Yorkville Referral Program (the “YRP”) is offered by Yorkville University to provide an incentive to Eligible Student or Graduate for referring family, friends, or colleagues to apply for admission to a Yorkville University program of study (a “Yorkville Program”). The following terms and conditions govern the YRP, and by participating in the YRP, each Eligible Student or Graduate agrees to these terms and conditions.

2. A Referred Person must be a new applicant and cannot have previously been referred, applied, or admitted to the referred program at Yorkville University.
3. A Referred Person cannot be an employee (or their immediate family member) of Yorkville University or Toronto Film School.
4. Upon reviewing the information form, a Yorkville University representative will contact the Referred Person to discuss and provide additional program
