Applicants must provide strong, recent grades in the required Ontario high school courses or their equivalent. Courses taken at Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and similar non-university, post-secondary institutions elsewhere are normally not accepted as equivalent to the required high school courses. The University has developed special pre-university mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses which can be taken online as an alternative. To discuss admissibility and appropriate qualifying studies, applicants are advised to contact the director of admissions for the Faculty of Engineering in the fall of the year prior to entering Year One.
