GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

admission.uOttawa.ca

Study at the University Of Ottawa One of Two Ways. As a general rule, international applicants must meet the following criteria:

Ø  You have obtained or are in the process of obtaining your secondary school diploma or your country’s equivalent diploma.

Ø  You are registered or have completed at least five courses at the highest level offered.

Ø  You are registered for the highest level courses offered to meet all of your intended program’s prerequisites.

Ø  You have the minimum average required and meet language requirements.

BRITISH CURRICULUM (A-LEVELS)

You must have completed a minimum of two A-Level subjects. If you have only completed two A-Level subjects, you must also have completed five subjects overall (including either AS or O level subjects).

For all programs, you must have English (first language) at the O-Level with a minimum grade of B. English (first language) at the AS or A Level is also accepted. Your other prerequisites must be A-Level or AS-Level subjects and you must have a minimum grade of C. For programs requiring more than two prerequisite subjects, at least two of your prerequisite subjects must be at the A Level or AS Level. Unless you have studied them the A-Level or AS-Level, your other prerequisite subjects can be at the O-Level.

Your admission average is calculated based on at least two GCE A Levels and three IGCSE (O level) courses or three GCE A Level and one IGCSE (O level) courses. We do not grant advanced standing for courses completed under the British curriculum.

NOTE:

ü  Two AS-Level subjects equal one A-Level subject.

ü  Mathematics prerequisites must be at the A-Level or AS-Level only.

ü  The General Paper cannot be counted as a subject.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)

You must complete the diploma with six subjects, including the program prerequisites, with a minimum score of 29 points (for most programs), including at least three Higher Level courses. You receive additional points for Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge. If you are completing both the IB diploma and another high school curriculum, we will consider both to determine which best positions you for admission. We might grant you advanced standing for higher-level subjects (depending on your intended program), provided your total score is 5 or higher in each subject.

APPLICATION PROCESS AND DEADLINES.

Universities in the province of Ontario, Canada, share an online application system run by the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC). You must apply through the OUAC website using the OUAC 105F Undergraduate Application for International Candidates form. Once you have completed and submitted the OUAC 105F form, you must send your documents to the undergraduate admissions office by mail or by email to eureka@uOttawa.ca.
