The United States and Countries Offering American-Based Curricula
Any applicant completing an American based high school curriculum may be considered for admission based on a combined evaluation including either standard college entrance exams (SAT or ACT) and their academic performance in high school and their rank in class. Any applicant who has attended a university/college may not subsequently complete SAT or ACT tests in order to gain admission to the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½. These tests will only be accepted if completed prior to having taken university/college studies. |
Countries offering the British Education System
The General Certificate of Education/General Certificate of Secondary Education (or their equivalents) with standing in five appropriate subjects, of which at least two must be at the Advanced/A2 Level. The same subject cannot be counted at both levels. An Advanced Subsidiary subject will be considered in lieu of an Ordinary/GCSE level subject. Two Advanced Subsidiary subjects will be considered in lieu of one Advanced level provided they do not duplicate subject matter of the Advanced or Ordinary/GCSE levels. Grades of D and E at the Ordinary and Advanced Subsidiary levels and 7, 8 and 9 on School Certificates are not acceptable. Note: High School applicants who are completing Alberta Grade XII subjects in lieu of Advanced Level and Ordinary Level subject requirements are required to present present final high school transcripts from Alberta Education (or equivalent from other provinces) with required standing in five appropriate subjects. The ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ awards advanced credit for specific Advanced Level subjects. Students should refer to the Alternatives to Regular Course Credit section of this Calendar for details. |
Other Countries
Applicants educated in other countries may be considered for admission on their academic merits. Those completing Canadian high school subjects will always have the grades obtained in these subjects used in lieu of matriculation equivalents obtained on international certificates. More detailed information is available at: . International students seeking admission on the basis of documents not listed on the Admissions website should submit to the Recruitment and Admissions Office certificates indicating the subjects studied and the grades secured. When these certificates are in a language other than English, certified English translations must accompany them. Canadian citizens who have completed their high school education (twelfth or thirteenth year) under an educational system listed on the Admissions website will be required to meet the same admission requirements as outlined for that country. |
Conditional Admission
An offer of conditional admission may be granted to international students who are currently completing their studies outside of Canada and the United States. Conditional admission is the primary route of admission and is based on final and/or midterm grades on appropriate matriculation subjects. Transcripts and other documentation required for consideration of an offer of conditional admission must be received no later than May 1. The offer is conditional upon receipt of final official transcripts confirming that admission requirements and admission average required by the faculty have been met. If official final transcripts verifying admissibility are not received by August 1, admission will be rescinded. International students who are not currently attending an institution are considered for regular admission on an on-going basis when their application, all required transcripts and documentation are received. Applications with all supporting documents received by May 1 will be considered. Those with supporting documents received after May 1 will be considered as time and resources permit. |
