- High school diploma with five academic courses at the 30 or 31 level.
- If you write a provincial exam for any subject except for English Language Arts 30-1, we will use the higher grade of either your in-class school grade or your final grade (blended school and exam mark) for admission and scholarship decisions. For English Language Arts 30-1, we will only use the final blended grade.
