What to watch for
Psychology is Algoma's one programme above the 65% floor, direct entry at 70%+ — as a 4-year Honours BA (JBG; JBQ at Brampton), 3-year BA (JAR; JBP at Brampton), 4-year non-honours (JBM, Brampton) or BSc (JGC). One thing to check before you apply: Algoma's admissions page says Psychology 'requires Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry as prerequisites', which is unusual for a BA. Algoma has three campuses — Sault Ste. Marie, Brampton and Timmins — and publishes separate OUAC codes for Brampton. Check the code's campus before you apply; the Brampton versions carry '(Brampton)' in the name.
