平特五不中

Applicants must have completed a two-year Quebec post-secondary collegial program (CEGEP) in the Pure and Applied Sciences, Health Sciences, or Science de la nature. (Applicants who have completed the DEC en sciences, lettres et arts are also eligible for admission. Applicants who have completed a DEC in a technical area will be considered on an individual basis.)

平特五不中 uses the cote de rendement au coll茅gial (cote r) rather than CEGEP percentage grades for admission decisions. The cote r is a method of comparing and ranking students from CEGEP; it measures how far above or below the class average a student places, with adjustments based on the relative strength of the group.

The current CEGEP profile for the B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.) is:

• Biology (00UK, 00XU);
• Chemistry 鈥� NYA, NYB, Organic Chemistry I (00UL, 00UM, 00XV);
• Mathematics 鈥� NYA, NYB (00UN, 00UP);
• Physics 鈥� NYA, NYB, NYC (00UR, 00US, 00UT).

Based upon entry with the appropriate DEC, the B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.) is offered as a 90-credit, three-year program for Nutrition and a 115-credit, three and one-half year program for Dietetics. Refer to Bachelor of Science (Nutritional Sciences) 鈥� B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.) for program details.

Applicants from Ontario must have completed:

• the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD),
• a minimum of six OAC, 4U and/or 4M courses combined, including:
  • At least one of OAC Calculus, OAC Algebra and Geometry, MCB4U or MGA4U;
  • Two different science subjects from the following list: OAC Biology or SBI4U, OAC Chemistry or SCH4U, OAC Physics or SPH4U;
  • OAC or 4U English or French; see note below explaining when English or French is required.

Students who are accepted on the basis of a high school diploma enter a program which is extended by one year to include the 30 credits which comprise the Freshman Year (see Bachelor of Science (Nutritional Sciences) (B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)).

If the applicant comes from a school where the language of instruction is English, then OAC English or 4U level English or EAE4A must be included in the six courses. If the applicant comes from a school where the language of instruction is French, then OAC French (FRAOA or FLIOA) or 4U level French or English EALOA or EAL4U must be included in the six courses. English and French Second Language courses are not accepted as prerequisites.

At least four of the six required courses, as well as all prerequisite courses, must be taken at the OAC or 4U level. Admissions criteria will focus primarily on the top six OAC, 4U and/or 4M courses (including specified prerequisite courses). Generally speaking, all marks are taken into consideration in determining admission, including those of failed or repeated courses.

Every attempt has been made to report accurately on admission requirements in effect at the time of printing. Given the recent Ontario curriculum reform and the resulting array of new courses, 平特五不中 reserves the right to revise its admission requirements without prior notice.

Applicants from provinces other than Quebec and Ontario must hold:

• a high school diploma giving access to university education in their province/territory;

and must have completed:

• Grade 12 Mathematics (pre-calculus);
• two of: Grade 12 Biology, Chemistry or Physics;
• Grade 12 English or French (see note below explaining when English or French is required).

Students who are accepted on the basis of a high school diploma enter a program which is extended by one year to include the 30 credits which comprise the Freshman Year (see Bachelor of Science (Nutritional Sciences) (B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)).

Consideration will be given to the results for Grade 11 and 12 level courses (regardless of the calendar year in which they were taken), with emphasis on grades obtained in courses most relevant to the intended program of study. Generally speaking, all marks are taken into consideration in determining admission, including those of failed or repeated courses.

If the applicant comes from a school where the language of instruction is English, then Grade 12 English must be included in the academic record. If the applicant comes from a school where the language of instruction is French, then Grade 12 French is required. English and French Second Language courses are not accepted as prerequisites.

Applicants who are applying on the basis of a high school diploma from a school in the United States must have completed a pre-calculus course in functions, and at least two of biology, chemistry, and physics. Applicants must write College Entrance Examination Board tests including the SAT I and three SAT IIs. SAT IIs must include mathematics and at least one science. ACTs are also acceptable.

Applicants who have completed Advanced Placement Examinations in appropriate subjects with a grade of 4 or better will be granted some advanced standing, up to a maximum of 30 credits.

Students who are accepted on the basis of a high school diploma enter a program which is extended by one year to include the 30 credits which comprise the Freshman Year (see Bachelor of Science (Nutritional Sciences) (B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)).

The normal basis for review of a file is completion of the credentials which lead to university admission in the applicant's country of study.

Students from the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries may be admitted if they have completed Advanced Level examinations in chemistry, physics, and mathematics with two Bs and one C or better in each, and five appropriate G.C.S.E. subjects at the Ordinary Level, including biology and English.

Advanced Level examination results which are appropriate to the intended program of studies will be assessed for advanced standing and credit when the results are received directly from the appropriate Examination Board. A maximum of 30 credits is granted for Advanced Level papers and a maximum of 10 credits for papers in Mathematics. Credit is normally granted only for grades of C or better.

Students who have a very good academic record in Lower Form VI and excellent results in at least five G.C.S.E. subjects at the Ordinary Level may be considered for admission to a program requiring the completion of a minimum of 120 credits.

For students applying on the basis of the French Baccalaureate, the minimum requirement is the Diploma in Series S in the 鈥�Premi猫re Groupe鈥� with Mention 鈥�assez bien鈥�.

Applicants should have completed Higher or Subsidiary Level mathematics and normally two of biology, chemistry, or physics. Ten advanced standing credits may be granted for mathematics and science Higher Level subjects completed within the IB Diploma, up to the maximum of 30 credits, while 6 credits will be given for non-science Higher Level examinations taken as part of the Diploma or for Higher Level Certificate subjects.

Students wishing to transfer from other universities and colleges are considered for admission on the basis of both their university work and previous studies. A minimum of 60 credits of work must be completed at 平特五不中 if a degree is to be granted. Students must also fulfil the requirements of a degree program. Credits are determined only once a formal application and all the necessary supporting documents are received.

Basic science requirements are:

• two semesters of biology;
• two semesters of general chemistry, with labs;
• one semester of organic chemistry;
• two semesters of physics (including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and waves and optics), with labs;
• one semester in each of differential and integral calculus.

A grade of B or better is expected in prerequisite mathematics and science courses.

This same policy is applicable to holders of undergraduate degrees.

Students wishing to transfer from one faculty to another must complete an inter-faculty transfer form. The deadline for submitting a transfer form for admission to the School is June 1 for admission in September and December 1 for admission in January. There are no Winter term transfers for the Dietetics major.

For CGPA requirements please see www.mcgill.ca/macdonald/studentinfo/undergrads/readmission. For more information, please refer to University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Registration > Interfaculty Transfer.

Residents of Canada who will be 23 years of age or older by September 1 (for admission for the Fall session) or January 1 (for admission for the Winter session) and who lack the academic background normally required for admission may apply for entrance as mature students.

Mature students must complete all entrance math/science requirements during their first year. This may require an additional year to the program due to the availability of required courses. Individuals interested in being considered for entrance under this policy should contact the Student Affairs Office for complete details.

The program for the degree with a Major in Nutrition will normally be completed in three academic years or six semesters (following the Freshman Year, if one is required). The degree with a Major in Dietetics will normally be completed in three and one-half academic years. For the purpose of student classification, the years will be termed U1, U2 and U3.

• U1: the first 12 months following each admission to a degree program in which the student is required to complete 72 or more credits at the time of admission;
• U2: to be used for all students who are not U1 or U3.
• U3: the session in which it is expected the student will qualify to graduate.

Further information and regulations on academic standing are available at Academic Standing.

Academic Advisers

Before registration, all students entering the Faculty must consult with the Academic Adviser of their program for selection and scheduling of required, complementary, and elective courses.

The Academic Adviser will normally continue to act in this capacity for the duration of the student's studies in the Faculty.

A Faculty Adviser is also available in the Student Affairs Office to assist students with student record related matters.

To be eligible for a B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.), students must have passed, or achieved exemption, with a minimum C grade in all required and complementary courses of the program. They must have a CGPA of at least 2.00.

In addition, students in the Dietetics program must have completed the Professional Practice Stages of professional formation, which require a minimum CGPA of 3.00.

You must complete the minimum credit requirement for your degree as specified in your letter of admission.

Please refer to Minimum Credit Requirement for further information.
