Holders of the Diploma of Collegial Studies who have completed the following courses are considered for admission to the 103-credit B.Sc.(N.) Program:

• Biology - NYA, General Biology II (00UK, 00XU)
• Chemistry - NYA, NYB, Organic Chemistry I (00UL, 00UM, 00XV)
• Mathematics - NYA, NYB (00UN, 00UP)
• Physics - NYA, NYB, NYC (00UR, 00US, 00UT)

Admission will be based on the cote de rendement au collégial (Cote R); overall Cote R, and Cote R in prerequisite courses are considered.

Mature Students

Within the University provisions, candidates who are at least 23 years old and are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, may be eligible for consideration as Mature Students. See mcgill.ca/applying/requirements for more specific details. An applicant requesting entry as a Mature Student must have successfully completed a minimum of three courses: one in functions (precalculus; calculus is preferred), and at least two of general biology, chemistry, or physics (all with labs). Each of the courses must have been completed at the CEGEP or university level, with a minimum university grade of 70% or equivalent. Mature students are advised to meet with CEGEP representatives to determine what courses they should take based on high school science studies. Candidates with these prerequisites may then be admitted to the 136-credit B.Sc.(N.) program (four years, see U0 year in Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (B.Sc.(N.)) - Nursing (103 credits); students will not repeat CEGEP level courses that are equivalent to U0 courses).

Applicants from Ontario

Ontario applicants must have completed the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) by the time they commence their university studies. Most students are considered for the four-year B.Sc.(N.) program (includes a U0 year described in Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (B.Sc.(N.)) - Nursing (103 credits)).

• Calculus and Vectors MCV4U

At least two of:

• Biology SBI4U
• Chemistry SCH4U
• Physics SPH4U
• 4U English or French

Admission is based on ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ's calculation of the applicant's "Top 6" pre-university (4U and 4M) course average and on the program prerequisites. At least four of the "Top 6", as well as all prerequisites, must be at the 4U level. All grades are taken into consideration in determining admission, including those for failed or repeated courses. Most applied courses are excluded from the "Top 6" average; performing arts courses at the 4M level (maximum of two) will be eligible. Grade 12 English or French must be included in the "Top 6" calculation, depending on the language of instruction at the applicant's school.

Applicants from Canadian High Schools outside of Quebec and Ontario

These applicants must hold a high school diploma giving access to university education in their province/territory. Most students are considered for the four-year B.Sc.(N.) program (includes a U0 year described in Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (B.Sc.(N.)) - Nursing (103 credits)).

• Grade 12 Mathematics (precalculus)
• At least two of: Grade 12 Biology, Chemistry or Physics
• Grade 12 English or French

Admission is based on ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ's calculation of the applicant's "Top 5" academic Grade 12 courses (regardless of the calendar year in which they were taken), including the prerequisites. All grades are taken into consideration in determining admission, including those for failed or repeated courses. Grade 12 English or French will be included in the "Top 5" calculation, depending on the language of instruction at the applicant's school.

Applicants from other Universities or Colleges and Second Bachelor Degree applicants (Transfer Students)

Students who wish to transfer from other universities and colleges are considered on the basis of both the pre-university and university studies. A minimum of 60 credits must be completed at ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ if a degree is to be granted. Admission requirements are:

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

It is possible to be admitted with a minimum of two semesters of calculus plus two semesters of biology, chemistry and/or physics, in which case the remaining science prerequisite course requirements must be completed within the program. Applicants with a previous degree, and missing one or more of the above courses may be granted equivalence if credit and exemption is awarded for courses which are part of the 103-credit B.Sc.(N.) program. This applies particularly to the Physiology and Pharmacology courses. In order to form a basis for admission or to be considered for credit or exemption, sciences and mathematics courses must have been completed within the last five years.

Applicants from the U.S. High School Programs (in the U.S. or other countries)

These applicants must hold a high school diploma and must have followed an academic program leading to university entrance:

• precalculus (functions)
• at least two of: Biology, Chemistry, or Physics
• SAT IIs must include at least two different subjects from the following list: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics

Grade 10, 11, and 12 academic results will be considered, with special attention paid to results in courses most relevant to the B.Sc.(N.) program of study.
