SFU Admission Information (Part 2)

(continued from the last post)

Admission Average

• For programs that have no specific course requirements: admission averages would be calculated based on your English 12 (with a minimum 60% blended mark) and three other provincially examinable grade 12 courses.
• For programs with specific course requirements: admission averages would be calculated based on your English 12 mark + the program-specific provincially examinable grade 12 courses (up to 3) + other provincially examinable grade 12 courses
• For example, the Faculty of Business Administration requires that you have Principles of Math 12 credit. In calculating your admission average, therefore, they will look at your English 12 mark, Principles of Math 12 mark, plus two provincially-examinable grade 12 course marks
