Students interested in English will ordinarily be admitted at the end of the 1B term. Admission will be based on academic performance in at least ten courses in Year One, including at least one or preferably two 100-level English courses (but not ENGL 119 or ENGL 129R).
To be admitted into any Honours English academic plan, you need an overall Year One average of at least 70% and an English average of at least 75%. To be admitted into the Four-Year General English degree, you need an overall Year One average of at least 65% and an English average of at least 70%. Finally, to be admitted into the Three-Year General English degree, you need an overall Year One average of at least 65% and an English average of at least 65%. Because of limitations on resources, however, fulfilling minimum entrance requirements may not guarantee a student admission to English academic plans, and higher averages may be required.
