Failed and Repeated Courses

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions
We will extend offers of admission in late December/early January to students who display strong academic results in Grade 11 and the first term of Grade 12. You must complete or be enrolled in prerequisite courses for the program to which you apply. Offers will continue until programs are full and will be based only on 4U/M midterms and final grades.
All offers of admission are conditional upon successfully completing the OSSD and maintaining the required final average, as outlined in the offer of admission. Admission averages will be calculated on the top six 4U/M grades, including prerequisite courses.

Huron has one of the highest entering admission averages among the most elite institutions in Canada. The increasing competitiveness of our application process is a reflection of the demand for character-based education.

As part of our application process, we invite students to submit a personal statement, responding to character-based questions to better reflect the whole person. This process helps foster a holistic admission review of our applicants.
