Ontario OSSD students taking IB; Guelph undergraduate degree entry

• Ontario students in the IB Diploma program have IB courses translated into Ontario curriculum equivalents. Their high school converts IB results to percentages and submits them through OUAC.
• Guelph determines admission and scholarships using those school-submitted conversions. Keep the Ontario prerequisites for your chosen degree and major.

Applicants presenting the full IB Diploma rather than an Ontario-converted IB record

• Complete six unique subjects, three HL and three SL, including the degree/major prerequisites. Predicted grades may support conditional offers; the linked calendar separately states the required score and treatment of bonus points. This packet does not alter any score minimum.
• The calendar waives English proficiency for a completed IB Diploma taught in English. Ontario students taking IB remain assessed on their school-submitted Ontario equivalents already held; these two credential routes are not merged.

Applicants educated in another Canadian province/territory or Québec CEGEP

• The calendar lists Grade12 for Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Yukon. Required senior-course counts vary by province; exact programme subjects still apply.
• For Québec, present the secondary-school leaving certificate plus12 academic credits from an appropriate CEGEP programme. The university assesses preparation equivalent to Ontario and considers whether a named senior subject is available in the issuing jurisdiction. No unlisted equivalence is assumed.

Applicants presenting a regionally accredited U.S. high-school record

• Include the chosen degree/major prerequisites in senior-level study and provide the school profile with its grading scale. The source separately sets the native unweighted GPA threshold, which this packet does not change.
• SAT/ACT results are optional and are considered when they benefit and strengthen the application. Diploma and offer conditions remain required; optional testing is not an admission guarantee.

Applicants meeting the calendar’s mature definition before the starting Fall term

• Normally have been out of secondary school for at least two years, have not attended another postsecondary institution, and hold a secondary diploma or equivalent. Mature admission is available in Fall only.
• Meet the degree’s specific mature-applicant subject list or equivalents, and provide official records from every secondary/postsecondary institution by the document deadline. The mature subject lists differ by degree; the ordinary Ontario six-course package is not universally substituted for them.
• The Academic Transition Programme is a separate preparatory option. Its calendar entry says admission was suspended for Fall2026; no reopening for2027 is inferred.
