High school applicants will be considered for admission based on the average of five subjects noted below:

Subject Requirements

1. English Language Arts 30-1
2. Three subjects from Group A and/or C (see the Admissions Chart).
3. One additional subject from Group A, B, or C. Beginning for the Fall 2020 intake: Physical Education 30 (5 credits) or 30-level CTS (5 credits).

Considerations

1. Although not required for admission, it is strongly recommended that students entering Elementary Education possess Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 in order to meet the prerequisites for courses within the program.
2. Please note that for some Secondary Education Major/Minor routes, students are required to present specific 30-level courses (or equivalent) in order to complete the requirements of each Major/Minor. These courses do not have to be presented for admission but are prerequisites for university course registration.
3. The Faculty of Education accepts proficiency in an Aboriginal language recognized in Canada (e.g., Cree, Slavey, etc.) to meet a Group A admission requirement. Proficiency is measured either by a test, administered by the University if such can be arranged, or by boards of examiners appointed by the University. Candidates having passed the required test of an Aboriginal language have their averages calculated on the remaining four matriculation subjects.
4. Applicants who do not present the high school requirements or the required admission average may be considered for admission if they successfully complete at an accredited post-secondary institution *24 credits or more (to a maximum of 60) of coursework transferable to the BEd program.
5. All students are required to demonstrate English Language Proficiency and Spoken English Proficiency in addition to meeting the admission requirements for their program of choice.

Please review the Application Documents page for additional requirements.

If you have completed fewer than 9 credits of transferable post-secondary coursework you will apply as an Admission from High School.

3. One additional subject from Group A, B, or C.
   For direct-entry applicants only, beginning for the Fall 2020 intake: Physical Education 30 (5 credits), or 30-level CTS (5 credits) may be used in place of a Group B course. 

If you are 21 years of age or older and have completed 9 to 22.5 credits of transferable post-secondary coursework, you will need a competitive average in all post-secondary courses and a minimum 70% average in:

1. English Language Arts 30-1

Requirements

General Requirements

1. Transfer students must present the successful completion of at least 24 credits transferable course weight.
