Admission requirements

If you are Canadian applying to an undergraduate degree program

Canadian applicants are not guaranteed admission. A minimum admission average of 70% is normally required. Entrance averages increase based on the popularity of a program. Applicants who do not have the minimum average required for some of our most competitive programs may be considered for a program in related fields of study.
