75%OUAC RES
Prerequisites
- Minimum 75% calculated from best six 4U/M courses
- Required Courses:
- ENG4U with a minimum of 60%
- SBI4U, SCH4U and 4U Math recommended
- Alternative Offers
- Alternative offers of admission are automatically extended if you do not meet the admission requirements for the Environmental Science/Studies program, but do meet the requirements for Arts and Science.
What to watch for
Direct entry at a 75% minimum; one code covers both the BSc (Science) and BA (Studies). Environmental and Resource Science (RSV) and Studies (RAV) are separate codes at 70%. Trent publishes a minimum, and its own admissions FAQ says 'meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission'. The safety net is real: if you are not admitted to a competitive programme, Trent automatically assesses you for an alternate offer into a similar one, with no second application.
