How Guelph reads your transcript
In Guelph’s own words to guidance counsellors, from the OUAC resource guide (September 2026 entry). Each links to the page comparing every university’s answer.
- If you repeat a course
We use the highest U/M grade reported for all courses completed at a Ministry-inspected and -approved school.
- Summer school, night school, e-learning and private school
We consider all Ministry-inspected and -approved high school courses equally.
- 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.
- AP and IB
AP: Applicants who complete AP exams with a minimum grade of 4 are eligible to receive up to a maximum of 2.0 university credits. We will assign transfer credit upon receipt of an official AP College Board exam score report.
IB: We determine admission and scholarships using the conversions submitted by the school to the OUAC. Applicants who complete Higher Level courses with a minimum grade of 5 are eligible to receive up to a maximum of 2.0 university credits. We will assign transfer credit upon receipt of final, official results from the International Baccalaureate Organization.
