Does Ottawa care if you repeat a course?

How that compares

Ottawa uses your highest grade — the same as 19 of the 23 Ontario universities that answer this.

• 1 university uses your most recent attempt

  Queen's

• 1 university may not consider repeats at all

  U of T (St. George)

• 1 university assesses repeats case by case

  Waterloo

• 1 university averages your attempts past a threshold

  Western

This is what Ottawa tells Ontario guidance counsellors; it is not published on their student pages. Rules like this change rarely, but confirm anything you are about to act on.
