Admission

Basic Requirements for Admission (Required for All Programs)

You must complete the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). A minimum average of 70% is required for consideration for admission. A minimum grade of 60% must be obtained in ENG4U. You must present a minimum of six 4U/M courses to be considered for admission.

Note: Some programs may have higher average and supplementary application requirements. Some programs may also require a minimum number of 4U/M courses.

Failed and Repeated Courses

If you repeat a course, the highest of the 2 grades will be used in the admission average calculation, if applicable.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

For full-time enrollment beginning in September, Trent University expects to send offers of admission on an ongoing basis starting in January.

You must complete or be registered in six 4U/M courses. Admission decisions will be made using grades from a minimum of 3 final 4U/M courses if you are in a semestered school, or 6 interim 4U/M courses if you are in a non-semestered school.

Grade 11 grades may be used to extend an early offer of admission when sufficient 4U/M grades are not available. All offers of admission are conditional, pending the successful completion of all OSSD requirements and prerequisites with satisfactory academic standing.

Notes

In this program, you’ll achieve a detailed understanding of the processes that control and mediate health, illness, reproduction, growth and ultimately life itself. Working in ultramodern facilities, you will gain a solid grounding in chemistry, biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, preparing you for advanced studies in this dynamic and ever-changing discipline.
