Bourses et prix

La plupart des universités offrent des bourses d’études. Contrairement aux prêts, vous n’avez pas à rembourser une bourse d’études. Les universités attribuent des bourses d’études selon le mérite scolaire, le besoin financier, les activités parascolaires et d’autres distinctions.

Vous pouvez présenter une demande pour certaines bourses d’études, alors que votre admissibilité sera automatiquement prise en considération pour d’autres.

Événements des universités

Les universités organisent des événements tels que des journées portes ouvertes, des visites de campus, des programmes « Étudiant d’un jour » et des visites virtuelles pour vous donner un aperçu concret de la vie étudiante. Ces événements sont une excellente façon de découvrir le campus, de rencontrer des étudiants et des professeurs, et de déterminer si une université correspond à vos attentes.

Offres d'admission

Basic Requirements for Admission

Admission averages are based on your top six 4U/M marks. Minimum admission requirements:

  • 65% for most programs,
  • 70% for Business Administration, Computer Science Co-Op, Psychology and Social Work
  • 75% for Biology

Failed and Repeated Courses

We do not count failed courses. We select the higher grade from repeated courses for inclusion in the admission average calculation.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

If you attend a semestered school, you may receive an early conditional offer once your grades become available, if you fulfill the following criteria:

  • you completed at least three 4U/M courses with an overall average equal to, or better than, the program cut-off and
  • you are enrolled in a sufficient number of courses in order to complete at least six 4U/M courses by the end of June.

Note: If you are marginally below the program cut-off, but your overall average in Grade 11 and 12 courses is 70% or higher, you may be considered for an early offer of admission.

If you attend a non-semestered school, you may receive an early conditional offer once the Office of Admissions receives interim grades for at least six 4U/M courses showing an interim average that is equal to, or greater than, the program cut-off.

If you do not receive an early conditional offer of admission, you will be considered on an individual and ongoing basis, as additional marks become available. If you are not offered admission to your preferred program, you will automatically be considered for admission to an alternative program, provided you meet the university entrance requirements. Algoma University has rolling admission; therefore, applications for September 2025 will continue to be received and processed until the start of the semester.

Circonstances atténuantes

Algoma University reviews all applicants on an individual basis. If you have special or extenuating circumstances, you are encouraged to email the Office of the Registrar.
