If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.
Admission
Basic Requirements for Admission
Ontario high school students must present the OSSD and complete six 4U/M courses. All required courses will be included in the calculation of your overall admission average.
Failed and Repeated Courses
We will consider the higher grade of the 2 attempts.
Timing and Process for Admission Decisions
We will begin to issue a select number of offers in December and will continue to make offers of admission through to May. Scholarship and co-op offers will accompany offers of admission.
A select number of offers are issued in December and are based on a combination of Grade 11 and Grade 12 results. To be eligible for an early offer, you must have 1 final Grade 12 result at the 4U/M level and 5 Grade 11 U/M level credits. Averages are in the high 80s or 90s.
The first major round of admission offers to Ontario applicants is in February. Admission averages are calculated using a minimum 3 first-semester 4U/M finals, with registration in 3 additional 4U/M credits, including prerequisites. If you are in a non-semestered school, we will use 6 midterm grades at the 4U/M level, including prerequisites.
The final round of admission offers happens in May. If you do not receive an offer in February, or if you are still in studies and received an alternate program offer, we will automatically reassess you for eligibility for your preferred program in May. We will continue to make offers based on final grades, as well as summer school grades, provided space in programs is available.
You can expect to receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest choice listed for Brock is considered first when more than 1 Brock program is indicated on your application. If you are not eligible for the first choice, consideration will be given to subsequent choices in the order of preference you indicated. If you apply to only 1 Brock program and do not qualify, in most cases, consideration will be given for an alternative and related program. In most cases if you apply for, but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non co-op program.
