Applicants who do not possess the minimum admission requirements are eligible to be considered for admission, if they:
- are twenty-one (21) years of age by December 31st of the year in which they will commence studies;
- have been away from formal education for at least two years;

Notes:
1. To determine the admission average, all subject prerequisite course grades are averaged. The average required for admission purposes will vary by program and is determined on the basis of competition. Where only one prerequisite is required for a program, the grade in that course must be competitive for admission purposes.
2. Minimum grades do not guarantee admission. Subject to competition, candidates may be required to present averages/grades above the minimum. Please contact Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment for detailed information.
3. In support of their application, it is recommended that applicants include the following in their Supplementary Application form:
- why they have chosen this program;
- career ambitions/career goals;
- past work experience.
