Procedure for Admission to UCC Engineering Transfer Year 1 Directly from Secondary School

Applications should be received no later than March 1 for admission the following September. Applications will be accepted after March 1 if space permits.

The minimum prerequisites for admission direct from secondary school are:

• B.C. Grade 12 graduation or equivalent.
• B.C. Grade 12 English with minimum grade of B within the last 5 years, or LPI level 5.
• Completion of Principles of Math 11/12, Chemistry 11, and Physics 11/ 12 or equivalents; with a minimum grade of B in each. Chemistry 12 is also strongly recommended.

Although not mandatory, the following will be very beneficial for students considering Engineering studies:

• Calculus 12
• A Computing or Information Technology course offering problem solving experience with a high level programming language such as Java, C/C++, or Visual Basic.

Eligible applicants will be granted a conditional admission to the program, and must attend one of several pre-registration orientation sessions in May and June in order to be registered in the program. If unable to attend, applicants must contact the UCC Engineering Transfer program coordinator to make alternate arrangements. Admitted students should call 371-5853 to enrol in a pre-registration orientation session.

Applicants who meet the minimum prerequisites are eligible for admission to the program. However, allocation of seats will be competitive based on grades achieved in Grade 11 and 12 pre-requisite courses.
