Undergraduate Admissions

OSSD Applicants with OACs or Equivalent: General Requirements

Decisions on admissions for first-year students to the university will normally be based on the following criteria:

1. Completion of the OSSD with six OAC subjects. Students must meet the specific program requirements as outlined in the section, Programs of Study – Degree Specific Requirements. An overall average of 60 percent on six OACs is the minimum required for admission consideration. However, a higher average will be required for admission to individual programs in which the demand for places by qualified applicants exceeds the supply of places available in those programs.
2. Normally, the admission average will be based on the applicant's best six OAC marks. In programs where specific courses are required for admission, these marks may be included in the selection of the six courses.
3. In some cases, the university will request: an academic standing based on the applicant's record for the last two or three years in school and/or a recommendation from the secondary school principal.
4. Applicants will be offered the opportunity to complete an Applicant Background Summary form to submit extracurricular information, which may be taken into account in the admission decision process. The form is mailed to the applicant in the spring and submission is optional.
