Hello everyone,
I am happy to let you know that the admission policy regarding how we will treat repeated courses when calculating admission averages has changed from previous years. In the past, how we would treat a repeated course would depend on which program you were applying to. For most programs, we would take the higher of the repeated grades. The two exceptions to that rule were our Commerce and Engineering programs. For those two programs, the grades obtained in repeated prerequisite courses would be averaged over all repeats. This is what we DID… up til now!
Our new policy is the same across all programs – we will now take the highest grade for ANY repeated course used in the average calculation, regardless of the program you are interested in. This means the policy has changed for Commerce and Engineering.
We think this policy is fair as all of our programs now treat repeated courses in an equitable manner.
Cheers,
Kevin du Manoir
Admission Coordinator
