ACADEMIC INFORMATION

PRELIMINARY YEAR AT BRESCIA COLLEGE

Brescia College offers a co-educational preliminary year for students who have either a minimum of 24 credits toward the OSSD (preferably at the Advanced level) or Ontario Grade 12 with a Secondary School Graduation Diploma. A minimum average of 70% 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 are normally the same as for OACs. Students outside Ontario are also eligible depending on evaluation of their records.

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, Western 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 Academic Calendar) but failure of a preliminary year program may not be appealed.

All applications and inquiries should be sent to: The Registrar, Brescia College, London, Ontario, N6G 1H2.
