General notes

  1. The admission average is your overall average of high school marks of university preparatory courses for admission to your selected program of study.
  2. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to any program.
  3. A pass at the high school level is required for each subject counted for admission (unless otherwise specified).
  4. To count for admission a subject must be taken at the Grade 12 "academic" level" (N.B. level 2) unless otherwise specified; level 1, French Immersion, and advanced courses are satisfactory substitutes (where they exist). Courses taken at the "general" or "open" levels will not be accepted for admission purposes.
  5. Students whose first language is French must offer French in place of English in the required subjects and may offer English as an elective.

Program-specific notes

Students should note that two years each of high school Chemistry and Physics will normally be required; students lacking these courses will be considered on an individual basis.

Only the first two years of Engineering are offered at UNB Saint John.

Students intending to enroll in MATH 1003, Introduction to Calculus I, must take a Placement Test which will be administered during Orientation week in September. Materials to prepare for this test are available on the web at http://math.unb.ca/ready as well as from the Mathematics Departments in New Brunswick High Schools and UNB.

Based on their test scores, and the regulations set out by the Mathematics Departments, students will be required to take a Pre-Calculus course (Math 0863 UNBF or Math 1863 UNBSJ) or a special section of Math 1003 that covers the material of the course over two semesters, or a regular (one semester) section of Math 1003.
