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).
The cumulative average requirements for admission to the various English academic plans are as follows:
- Three-Year General English Language and Literature: 65% overall Year One average and 65% in English.
- Four-Year General English Language and Literature: 65% overall Year One average and 70% in English.
- Any Honours English academic plan: 70% overall Year One average and 75% in English.
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.
