Applicants who are completing or have completed their twelfth year of education at an American high school may qualify for admission by obtaining acceptable scores on the SAT Reasoning Test and three appropriate SAT Subject Tests and present proof of a high school diploma. An early offer of admission may be granted on the basis of these scores. The SAT tests are administered by the Admissions Testing Program of the College Board. An acceptable score is considered by the University to be no mark below 400 with a minimum average of 500 over the required tests. Faculty of Nursing applicants are required to present an average of 520 or higher. However, since applicants compete for positions primarily on the basis of academic merit, higher averages will normally be required. (Official International Baccalaureate (IB) or Advanced Placement (AP) score reports may be presented for consideration in lieu of prescribed SAT Subject Tests.)

Applicants to the Faculties of Communication and Culture, Fine Arts, Haskayne School of Business, Humanities, Medicine (BCR) or Social Sciences may also qualify for admission by presenting acceptable scores on the SAT Reasoning Test and a high school transcript for assessment of specific high school courses which may be acceptable equivalents to prescribed SAT Subject Tests. (Official IB or AP score reports may be presented for consideration in lieu of prescribed SAT Subject Tests.) Applicants should note that admission is on a competitive basis with consideration of both SAT scores and high school achievement.

All test scores and an official high school transcript showing that the high school diploma has been conferred must be received by August 1.

Notes:

1. This policy may also be used by applicants who have completed twelve years of schooling in a Canadian high school.

2. In order to be considered for admission to the University under the College Entrance Examinations category applicants must have completed the required tests prior to undertaking university/college studies.

3. Only one of Math Level 1 or Math Level 2 may be presented for admission.

4. Applicants whose schooling has been completed in countries other than Canada or the United States (with the exception of those applicants who are completing their twelfth year of schooling at an American or Canadian high school overseas) are not eligible for entrance under the College Entrance Examinations category. Such applicants must present those certificates or credentials which normally grant admission to an accredited university within their home country.
