Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Admission Information

Enrolment in the Faculty of Education is limited. Selection is based primarily on your academic average. Your admission average is calculated on the best 10 full (full-year) university courses, or equivalent (not including college transfer courses), completed at the time you apply. A full course is the equivalent of 1 academic year of study. A full university course normally runs from September to April, or is the equivalent of 2 semester-long courses. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. 

  • We will only use credits completed at the degree level within an acceptable degree program to calculate admission averages and satisfy teaching subject requirements. We will not use college diploma credits used to obtain transfer credit in a degree program for these purposes. Ensure that you meet the 10 full-course equivalent degree credit (2-year equivalent) requirement for calculation of an admission average before you apply. 
  • We consider only the first 25 courses in the calculation of the average, even if you present more. 
  • If you have a graduate degree, you may have a maximum of 5 full graduate courses included in your average. 
  • If you have, or will have, a minimum of 10 full (20 semester) undergraduate courses by the time you complete your degree, not including transfer credit from college, you are eligible for consideration. Your admission average will be based on what appears on your submitted transcript by the transcript deadline. If we offer you admission, we will recalculate your average upon receipt of final grades, using all 10 full (20 semester) undergraduate courses. You will be required to have a minimum 70% average to meet the conditions of your offer. 
  • If you have an average of less than 70% on your best 10 full (20 semester) courses, we will be unable to consider you for admission. 
  • For a designated number of places in the BEd program, we give preference to members of Indigenous groups, racial minorities and persons with disabilities. See appropriate section below for further information. Additional information will also be sent in your acknowledgement email. Note:?You must still meet the minimum requirements for admission consideration.
