Offers of Admission for Ontario High School Students
Basic Requirements for Admission
A minimum of six 4U/M (U/C) courses are required for admission. We will use the top six grades from these courses when calculating the admission average, unless otherwise noted.
4U English must be at a minimum of 60% for all programs unless otherwise specified. You must also meet program-specific requirements. All required courses must be at a minimum of 60% unless otherwise specified.
Failed and Repeated Courses
If you repeat a course, the highest grade will be used in calculating your average with no penalty. Courses taken at night school/summer school are considered equivalent to regular daytime courses.
Timing and Process for Admission Decisions
We will begin to send out offers of admission to the highest qualified applicants beginning in January and continuing through May. Early conditional offers of admission are subject to attaining specific prerequisite course requirement(s), completing the Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirements and meeting a specific minimum final average. The admission average is based on the best six 4U/M courses (or equivalent).
For information and updates, visit the Ontario High School Applicants university admissions page.
One Offer of Admission
We can issue only one offer of admission per student. Please list your program choice(s) in order of preference. You will be sent information in January/February about how to submit additional information to support your application for admission.
Alternative Offers
Normally, if you do not receive an offer of admission to the program you applied to, you will automatically be considered for admission to an alternative program, if space permits. See more about our Alternate Offers of Admission on our website.
Residence
Residence applications are completed online. You will receive details and deadlines in Laurier's New Student Welcome Book that will be mailed to you with your offer of admission. Residence is guaranteed to first-year high school students whose application form and deposit are received by the posted deadline.
