Nova Scotia

If you are currently attending a Nova Scotian secondary school, these are the requirements:

A completed secondary school diploma or certificate
Five acceptable academic courses numbered 12, including English 12
Proof of English Language Proficiency if English is not your first language
Requirements specific to your program
Self-Reported Grade Form can be submitted as soon as you receive your mid-year grades

We use five courses to calculate your average. *English is always used in the average calculation; after that, we use your top acceptable courses.
If you have taken a course more than once, we'll use the highest grade received.
We won’t use grades obtained through Challenge for Credit.
If you are taking or have taken online, summer or private school courses, it is your responsibility to make sure they are approved and accredited by the Ministry of Education. If you are taking summer courses, please inform us that you are enrolled by emailing the registration information to info@kings.uw.
You can complete an Applicant Profile (which describes extenuating circumstances and extracurricular activities), which will be considered in cases where the minimum average wasn't met.

Every program has specific course and supplemental requirements.

Required courses: You need these for admission to the program.
Recommended courses: You don't need these to be admitted, but we do recommend that you take them to be successful in your first year and to be able to take the courses you need.
Supplemental requirements: These are additional forms to help us decide if the program is right for you.

Below are the courses we consider acceptable. Include all courses you're taking in your Self-Reported Grades form, even if they aren't on this list.
