Full source wording

Verbatim: "There is no specific Undergraduate application deadline if you are a Group B applicant. Deadlines vary at each university and sometimes depend on the program. Visit the university websites or contact the universities directly for their deadlines. If you are interested in a program but the deadline has passed, you may contact the university's admission office for help. Be aware of university-specific deadlines for submitting transcripts and portfolios, if required, and for arranging interviews and auditions. You must ensure the OUAC has enough time to process your choices before the universities' program deadlines." OUAC defines Group B as anyone who does not meet the Group A criteria, e.g. not currently taking an Ontario high school course, a Canadian outside Ontario, an international applicant, a postsecondary transfer student, or a mature applicant.

Applicant pathways

Engineering preparation route

Common Year in Applied Science, Thunder Bay.
The entry year does not award a bachelor’s degree. Transfer to an engineering programme is required after successful completion.

Common Year · Ontario preparation

Ontario secondary-school applicants who need additional engineering preparation

Common Year is separately listed from direct discipline entry. The calendar considers high-school graduates who may not meet all first-year engineering admission requirements.

Degree requirements

Course planning

Common undergraduate residency minimum: successfully complete at least 5.0 full-course equivalents at Lakehead in the final year. Exchange and Letter of Permission courses do not count towards those final-year 5.0 FCEs. A faculty or programme may impose a higher residency requirement.
University credit limit: at most 7.0 FCEs at the first-year level may count towards a programme or degree. Normally no first-year course may be taken in the final year or final two academic terms without written approval from the Dean.
