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 – the first of its kind anywhere in North America – you’ll study a unique mix of Indigenous knowledge and Western teachings, learning from Indigenous and non-Indigenous faculty, elders, guest speakers and other scholars. Here, you’ll explore complex topics such as climate change, sustainable communities and Indigenous health and environment. By applying a cross-cultural approach, you’ll learn to generate solutions to the complex local, regional, national and international issues facing Indigenous peoples and communities around the world. You can also take hands-on environmental fieldwork courses in Trent’s 12 on-campus nature areas.
