What
transcript information do Ontario Universities use to determine if you will get
an offer to a program?
For early
admission; an Ontario University will look at your grade 11 marks. If your
grade 11 over-all average is high you may get a conditional early offer to a
program of your choice pending your required 6 U/M grade 12 course marks and
that you meet all other program and graduation requirements.
For regular
admission, an Ontario University will look at your semester 1 final marks and
your semester 2 mid-term marks to determine if you will get a conditional offer
to a program of your choice. Remember, all offers are conditional that you meet
program and graduation requirements.
How can I can
I get more information about Ontario Universities and their
programs?
If you have a
question about an Ontario University Program's requirements you should contact
the University directly by calling or e-mail their admissions office. All this
information is on the University website.
Students are
encouraged to visit the Ontario Universities
Fair which takes place each year
downtown Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. This is an opportunity
for students to meet with Reprentatives of each Ontario University and ask
specifice questions and get programs information.
