Offers of Admission for Ontario High School Students

Basic Requirements for Admission

Ontario high school students who seek admission to King's in September 2024 must present the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and include a minimum of six 4U/M courses, including ENG4U. Other 4U/M courses may be required for admission, depending on the program.

Failed and Repeated Courses

If you fail and repeat a course or you choose to upgrade a particular course, King's will use the higher of the 2 grades presented when calculating the admission average.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

King's will extend offers of admission, scholarships and residence to students with strong academic transcripts beginning in December and continuing into late May as more grades are received. You must be enrolled in, or have completed, prerequisite courses for your programs of choice. If you fall below the required average for admission, and provided an Applicant Profile that describes extenuating circumstances and extracurricular activities, you will be considered on these grounds in mid-May.

Admission averages are based on the best six 4U/M marks, including required courses. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for admission to your requested program, you will be offered admission to an alternative program if you are qualified.

Alternative Offers

Alternate offers are considered if you apply to specialized programs with limited enrollment caps.
