Admissions Criteria Fall 2008 Entry

Ontario secondary school students must have a minimum of six 4U or 4M courses and have completed the OSSD to be considered for admission. Prerequisite courses are used in the calculation of admission averages.

*For programs that require EITHER Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) with a specified minimum average requirement: Brock University will use the better of the two mathematics grades to calculate an admission average (in cases where an applicant expects to complete more than six 4U or 4M credits).

Applicants completing Ontario curriculum, who have questions related to the new mathematics curriculum, should refer to the document entitled: Guiding Principles for Fall 2007 Mathematics Course Selection found at
