Does Guelph look at your Grade 11 marks?
We will use final Grade 11 U/M grades where midterm or final Grade 12 U/M grades are not available to fulfill required courses.
To fulfill conditions of an offer of admission, students must complete 6 Grade 12 and/or 4U/M courses, including required subjects.
Note: Students applying to a program that requires two 4U maths (e.g., Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Mathematics) must present a midterm or final grade in at least one 4U math course to be considered for admission.
