You will need an overall average of at least 70% in the five Grade 12 courses that are used to fulfil the subject area requirements listed above, and a passing grade in each subject. If more than one course satisfies a subject area, the course with the highest grade is used to determine your admission average.
*Students who are missing an eligible course in one of subject groups 2, 3 or 4, who apply for admission to a program that does not require completion of these courses, will be considered for general undergraduate admission. In this case, an eligible course in subject groups 1, 2, 3 or 4 may be used to substitute the missing course. Students who are missing eligible courses in two subject areas should contact admissions@mun.ca for further information.
Applicants who have completed certain International Baccalaureate (IB) or Advanced Placement (AP) courses may be eligible for transfer credit.
Admission to some programs is competitive for a limited number of spaces. A higher admission average and/or supplementary information may be required as part of the faculty-specific admissions.
