Optometry

Requirements for Admission

Supplemental Examinations
All required courses must be passed. The Faculty of Science guidelines regarding examinations and standings will be followed. However, in some circumstances, supplemental examinations may be offered as a means to clear a failed course. Students will be notified if they are eligible to write a supplemental examination. All eligible students, who decide to take this option, must complete an application for a supplemental examination and a fee will be collected with the application. Supplemental examinations may not be available for all courses. The original grade will be used in all average calculations. The Doctor of Optometry program is a four-year professional program. As such, academic standing is based upon the student’s ability to successfully complete all course requirements within a given year. Promotion to a subsequent year is severely compromised when all courses have not been passed.
