Weighted Averages

A minimum Weighted Average of 75% will be required for admission to Year 4 of any Honors Specialization module in the BMSc Program.  The Weighted Average Chart summarizes the courses/method used to calculate the Weighted Average for each Honors Specialization module.  Admission to each Honors Specialization modules in Year 4 also requires completion of ALL of the courses indicated in the Weighted Average Chart (link below).  The Weighted Average will be higher than 75% for admission to Year 4 of an Honors Specialization module if the number of students requesting admission is greater than the maximum capacity of the module.

Admission to Major or Specialization modules (except the Specialization in Pathology and Toxicology) is not limited and therefore a weighted average is not required for admission into these modules in Year 4.
