COLLEGE WORKFORCE UNIVERSITY TRADES UNIVERSITY TRANSFER VOLUNTEER / TRAVEL GAP YEAR

CHANGES TO UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

• Some Post Secondary institutions, such as UBC-O, are

shifting from a program of study focus to a holistic look at a student’s high school experience.

• Marks in English and other required courses are still

important

• These institutions want students with breadth – will be

looking at overall average (grade 11 and 12) Required Courses + Course Load (6 grade 12 courses) + Extra Curricular (Personal Profile) = admission

BUT is a 2nd language required ??
