Offers of Admission for Ontario High School Students

Basic Requirements for Admission

Some programs have a minimum required admission average of 75%; however, many programs require a greater admission average.

For programs in Science and in Engineering, a combined average of 70% is required in the prerequisite subjects. If you apply to Engineering or Science but lack only 1 prerequisite credit in mathematics or science, you may be considered for admission depending on your academic average. The missing course can be taken at the University either the summer before or during your first term of studies.

Failed and Repeated Courses

uOttawa uses the highest mark. Therefore, if a course is failed and repeated, uOttawa takes the higher of the 2 marks.
