If you repeat a course

If an applicant repeats a course to improve a grade for submission, we will use the highest grade in the admission calculation.

Schools must submit grades according to the dates outlined at: www.ontariotechu.ca/admissions.

Every university on this

Summer school, night school, e-learning and private school

We will accept credits from all accredited institutions. www.ontariotechu.ca/upgrading

We will use the highest 4U/M (or equivalent) grade(s) for admission.

Students accepted into one of our competitive programs, who do not meet the grade cut-off, will not be able to upgrade their grades in summer school.

Summer school courses taken immediately prior to the start of the September term to upgrade grades are not included in grade calculation for awards.
