Admission procedures

  • An 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.
  • Ten (10) additional marks are added to each Advanced level, OAC, U, U/C, and post-secondary course used in the calculation of academic strength.
  • Applicants meeting minimum academic strength are invited to begin the selection process which requires them to attend a scheduled program information session with program faculty. Out-of-province or distant applicants may attend this session by phone or Skype.
  • A sound English background is important for success in this program and is considered during the admission selection process. Minimum cutoffs apply.
