PROGRAMS

Preliminary Year

A co-educational preliminary year program for students who have a minimum of 24 credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). A minimum 70% average in an academic program oriented toward university studies with most courses at the advanced level of difficulty is required for admission consideration. Prerequisites for Preliminary Year courses will normally be the same as for the Ontario Academic Credits.

Students from outside Ontario are admitted with the equivalent of Ontario Grade 12 on the basis of percentage and rank in class.

The preliminary year consists of five courses selected from: English 010E, Chemistry 010, Geography 010 or 012, History 014, Mathematics 017a and 012b, Religious Studies 011, Sociology 012, French 002 or 010, German 002, Spanish 002. Successful completion of the Preliminary Year requires a pass standing in all five courses with a minimum overall average of 60%.

Students who have successfully completed the preliminary year are formally eligible to apply for admission to Brescia College, The University of Western Ontario, and its other affiliated colleges. Admissions decisions will be based on academic performance and completion of prerequisite courses and the Dean's decision regarding admission is final.

Courses taken in the preliminary year will be part of the student's overall academic record. These five courses however constitute the basis of admission to university study and do not carry university credit. Students may appeal course marks following the usual procedures (see relevant Academic Rights and Responsibilities Section of the Calendar) but failure of a preliminary year program may not be appealed.

Although there are no scholarships available for entrance to this program, upon completion of this qualifying year, students are eligible for Brescia's entrance scholarships to first year.
