Application Process Guideline

Step 2: Get Your Electronic Token

Contact your designated dean's office for your electronic token. Only your own designated dean's office may generate an electronic token you can use.

Each designated dean's office establishes processing procedures for ERAS applications, including the schedule for distributing materials, downloading applicant files, scanning transcripts, attaching documents, processing LoRs, and sending files to programs. Contact your designated dean's office to check their schedule and procedures. Do not expect your designated dean's office to attach or transmit your files at the last minute. Processing may take a week or longer. If there is a problem with transmissions, you may miss a deadline. Give your designated dean's office and yourself enough time to meet your deadlines.

Canadian Graduates
Contact CaRMS (Canadian Resident Matching Services) by e-mailing help@carms.ca to obtain your electronic token. They will be acting as your designated dean's office. CaRMS will charge you $200 (Canadian) plus applicable taxes for dean's office services.
