• Those with fewer than 24 transferable credits completed are assessed on their high school courses/grades.
• Those with 24 or more transferable credits, admission is based on AGPA (Admission Grade Point Average) as well as presenting five high school prerequisite courses.
• AGPA is calculated on all university transferable coursework completed in the final two terms of study (if the final two terms contain a minimum of 24 credits.
• If those two terms contain fewer than 24 credits, all work in the next most recent term(s) is included in the calculation until the minimum total of 24 credits is reached.
