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
The Human Rights & Global Justice program aims to provide students with a solid understanding of the importance of human rights as a matter of universal significance through the delivery of a comprehensive but focused curriculum. As a student in this program, you will explore human rights through the lens of feminism, anti-racism, Indigenous perspectives and knowledges, sexual diversity and class-based discrimination. You will also develop your critical thinking through examinations of human rights and justice through history, philosophy, culture, economics and other academic perspectives. Gain hands-on experience through co-op, research, field placements and other applied learning and career opportunities.
