Each university will have its own early admission schedule when they start accepting students , their own process how they calculate your average , and their own grade requirements what average you need for early admission. So here's how it works Some Canadian universities require 5 Grade 12 academic courses for admission, and some require 6. For my example, to try to keep it simple, let's use 5.
What if they don't have 5 Grade 12 courses completed at the end of first semester? That's when the Grade 11 marks come into play. Which marks they use depends on what program the student has applied to. Every degree program Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and so on will have certain Grade 12 courses that are required for admission.
The requirements are English 12, Pre-cal 12, Physics 12, Chemistry 12 and one other grade 12 academic course. If the student has completed English 12 and Pre-cal 12 in first semester of Grade 12, those courses are used these will be final Grade 12 marks. Here is the example broken down:. Here are the courses and some made-up grades, with the calculation of the admission average:.
The goal is to be accepted to a program as soon as possible so you know your options. And remember, the early admissions average is also usually the average the university uses for entrance scholarship consideration.
When all is said and done, we are only human and things can go wrong even when we have tried our best. Many learners opt to only send through best results out of their Grade 11 and 12 marks.
But first, make sure that you have given them all of the documentation and information they have asked for. Fun fact: If you attend a government school, the universities will automatically receive your matric results. If you attend an IEB or private school, you will need to physically hand in your final results at the beginning of the following year.
Painstakingly put, you will already have your Grade 12 marks with you, on the ready, at any given time during your gap year. All you have to do is make sure you meet the deadline for the application period.
I have known many students who have taken a bridging course to remedy that. Just some advice: ensure that your gap year increases your chances of getting into a university. Some faculties in universities like medicine consider your application to be of more value if you do volunteer, community or charity work. This increases your chances of being accepted. If you were accepted into a university but then decide to take a gap year — you may be allowed to transfer your acceptance to the following year.
This, however, may not be applicable to all universities or for all courses. Just contact your university to see if they can transfer your acceptance. Ultimately, whether you submit your Grade 11 or 12 marks is entirely dependent on what the university requires of you.
By making sure that you have perfected the application process, you stand less chance of being rejected due to an application error. You will also sleep soundly at night knowing that you have one less thing to worry about.

Not all of your courses have to be 12U courses. Most universities will allow you to apply with some number of 12M courses in your top six. But, many schools or programs limit the number of 12M courses that can be used. As you can see, the courses included in your Top Six will vary from program to program.
