How Guelph-Humber actually handles things
From the OUAC’s Guidance Dialogues Resource Guide (Spring 2026), which OUAC publishes for guidance counsellors rather than students. Read the original. Policies change — confirm anything you’re about to act on.
- If you repeat a course
We will use the highest U/M grade reported, provided the course is taken at a Ministry-inspected and -approved school.
- Summer school, night school, e-learning and private school
We will consider U/M courses taken at a Ministry-inspected and -approved school, regardless of format.
- Your Grade 11 marks
We will use the top 6 completed 4U/M (or equivalent) courses, including subject requirements. Where six 4U/M courses are not available, we will use completed or in-progress 4U/M and completed 3U/M courses, as needed.
To fulfill the conditions of an offer of admission, students must complete six 4U/M courses (or equivalent), including required subjects.

We do not consider ranking on the OUAC application.
