Things to remember about the university/degree pathway:
To apply to university in Ontario, you need six Grade 12 4U or 4M credits (including the prerequisites for your chosen university program).
Open level courses and co-op credits do not count as university prerequisites or your “top 6” average.
Inform your guidance counsellor about any private or night school courses you are taking.
While universities may use grade 11 marks when considering students for early admission, they don’t penalize students for lower grades in their grade 11 year. The only marks that may be a factor in decisions are any completed 4U/M marks.
Consider attending the Ontario Universities Fair to meet with reps from ALL Ontario universities
Attend university open houses (many in fall and early spring) or arrange school tours/visits.
The ONTARIO UNIVERSITIES INFO WEBSITE is the best place to begin your research.
Apply on-line through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) website
Pay careful attention to application deadlines! These are your responsibility!
