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.

For further details on the international Bachelor of Arts, refer to the International Bachelor of Arts and International Bachelor of Science in the Programs of Study section.
The degree builds on the established strengths of the Honours programs, and can be pursued as either a BA or a BSc program. It requires a mandatory period of full-time study abroad for one or two terms at one of York University's exchange partner institutions. Both the iBA and iBSc programs require students to complete a language and culture component of 30 credits as elaborated below.
The principal components will be the following:
Language Study
Students intending to study abroad in a language other than English should also get an assessment of their language ability from a member of the Department of Languages, Literature and Linguistics. Students whose language ability is deemed insufficient for exchange may do their exchange in an English-speaking country or take courses taught in English at a university where English is not the principal language of instruction.
International Exchange (Mandatory)
Every student is required to spend at least one full term abroad at one of York University's exchange partners. While on exchange, students must carry a full-time course load (a minimum of 9 credits per term). The exchange should take place during the student's second or third year, depending on the requirements of the specific program, and/or the student's language capacity.

Upper-level Requirement 0 Total Credits
General Prerequisite
Most 2000-, 3000-, and 4000-level EECS courses require the following general (that is, common) prerequisite, in addition to other course-specific prerequisites: a cumulative grade point average of 4.50 or better over all completed major EECS courses.
The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department offers courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA), a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and an international Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science (iBA and iBSc). For the BSc and iBSc, students must take courses in foundational science.
A supplemental calendar detailing EECS courses and department policies is available from the department's web page under Program Information
For the purpose of satisfying departmental degree requirements, major credits taken outside York University may not exceed six credits in core areas (here defined to be 1000- and 2000-level major courses, 3000-level major courses satisfying the breadth requirement and, for Specialized Honours students, any required 3000- and 4000-level major courses) and 12 credits in total.
With the exception of students enrolled in BEng degree programs and the Industry Partnership stream of the Honours Computer Science program, who are allowed to enrol in four major EECS courses per term, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science does not permit any student to take more than three major EECS courses per term during the fall and winter terms. In the summer term, the limit is two major EECS courses for Computer Science students, and three for BEng candidates and students in the Industry Partnership stream. Students who work full-time are strongly advised to take no more than two major courses in any term.
We follow the convention that courses with 5 or 9 as the second digit of the course number may be used as electives (with some restrictions as detailed in the University calendar and in the Department's supplemental calendar) but do not count as major credits. In the case of the Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Software Engineering programs, 3000- and 4000-level EECS courses are divided into four areas as follows: theory and numerical computation (second digit is 1), systems (second digit is 2), software development (second digit is 3) and applications (second digit is 4). Courses with second digit 6 are courses in electrical engineering.
Courses in the department typically have three class hours per week for one term. Many also have mandated weekly or biweekly labs.
