International applicants must demonstrate academic strength in a high school program of college/university preparatory courses with subject distribution, other minimum requirements, and academic standing comparable to that required of Canadian applicants. Those requirements can be found at stu.ca/admissions.

Criteria such as academic achievement and rank in class will also be considered in admission decisions.

Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Applicants

Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and GCE Advanced Level applicants presenting official documentation of grades of 4 or 5 on Advanced Placement (AP) tests, grades of 5, 6 or 7 on individual higher-level International Baccalaureate (IB) subjects, or final grades of "C" or higher on GCE Advanced-Level courses are eligible for transfer credit.

AP students are eligible for a maximum of 18 credit hours in transfer credit while IB diploma and GCE Advanced- Level students are eligible for a maximum of 30 credit hours on a 120 credit-hour degree program.
