Information for 2020 High School Graduates

Admission to UNB for New Brunswick high school students will be based solely on the core admission requirements. There will be no additional requirements for admission in any program.

For core admission requirements in 2020 only, UNB will accept courses for which Credit (CR) has been assigned on high school transcripts for New Brunswick high school.   

UNB will honour all conditional offers of admission. Students who receive a conditional offer of admission and subsequently receive the notation of ENR (enrolled) will be provided a pathway to upgrading.

If you are a New Brunswick grade 12 student graduating from a francophone high school, please ensure your transcript indicates the core required courses that have been successfully completed. Your transcripts can be sent to admissions@unb.ca directly from your school. This includes those courses that have been completed this semester.   
These courses may include: 
  • Français 10411, Mathématiques 30331C, Mathématiques 30411C, Mathématiques 30411B, Physique 51411, Chimie 52411, or Biologie 53411.
