Admission consideration requires a minimum of 3 years of study (30 one-semester courses or equivalent) completed at a recognized university in a program leading to a degree.
The admissions GPA is calculated using your best 20 single-semester (or equivalent) graded undergraduate degree courses. We do not set a minimum GPA requirement for consideration.
Please note:
The GPA is calculated using courses completed by the end of the summer term in the year of application, and is not recalculated with courses completed during the admissions cycle. Updated transcripts are not required unless requested.
The GPA calculation considers all eligible undergraduate degree courses regardless of term completed, course load, or level of study. Courses completed in additional undergraduate degree studies (e.g. additional degree program, individual courses, special/visiting student) will also be considered.
Graduate studies, diploma, certificate, non-credit and vocational courses will not be used in the GPA calculation.
Diploma-to-degree completion programs will be considered if the university transcripts include final grades for the minimum number of courses used in the GPA calculation.
