A NOTE ON ADMISSION TO POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS
There are three different ways of being admitted to a post-secondary
institution:
- On the basis of high school course selection and performance;
Students seeking admission to a college or a university directly
upon high school graduation (Grade 12) would normally use this option. Course selection as
well as marks play an important role in the admissions process.
- As a mature student;
Students two years beyond normal high school graduation age (21 and
over) may be admitted to a college, (even if they have not graduated from high school),
make up college admission requirements, and proceed to take post-secondary courses to
graduate from a college or transfer to a university.
- On the basis of college/university transfer programs;
Students attending college who have completed a minimum number
(varies between 15 to 30) of course credits that are transferable to a university degree
program will normally be admitted on the basis of their post secondary performance. High
school course selection and performance will not be used in determining admission status.
However, students will normally be required to submit their high school transcript; this
is to enable the university to assess if and when required, that program specific or
course specific 11 and 12 prerequisites have been successfully completed completed at
either high school or college. Each university sets its own policies for transferable
courses and grade levels.
