Eligibility

Undergraduate students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 (right now) to apply.  However, if you are close (2.3 GPA or above), you can still apply and will be considered for a conditional acceptance. 

Commerce Students: Please be aware of your co-op work terms and select a school that is mindful of those dates. Each work term is a minimum of 12 weeks in length. In order to complete your co-op in the summer of that year, please ensure that the university you choose will end in time for this to take place. Focus your search on schools that will be completed by the end of May. Contact your Career and Recruitment Specialist in Management Career Services prior to submitting your application.
