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

Trent’s multidisciplinary Media Studies program helps you understand the culture behind the media we consume, focusing on the impact media has on us all. This hands-on program features a variety of course options in the arts and sciences, providing opportunities to examine the influence of advertising and ideology, the political economy of media corporations, the foundations of media arts, and the ecological impact of media technologies. Practical experience is a major component of this degree, with workshop courses in everything from game design and music production to podcasting and photography. This program also offers a paid co-op stream, giving students the opportunity to gain 12 months of practical work experience, explore career options, and build their professional network.
