Admission procedures
- Academic strength is calculated by averaging the submitted marks of required subjects. If more than one mark is received for a required subject, the highest mark will be used in the calculation.
- Then (10) additional marks are added to each Advanced level, OAC, U, U/C, and post-secondary course used to calculate academic strength.
- A sound English background is essential for success in this program and is considered during the admission selection process. Minimum cut-offs apply.
Credit transfer
You might be eligible to enter a program at an advanced level, or be exempt from a course, if you have formal post-secondary education. Learn more about
