| Prerequisites Notes | When we accept students to St. Stephen’s University, we look for possibilities and motivation beyond your transcript. Our standard acceptance criterion is a 70% combined average of your university-prep Grade 12 courses. However, if your average is below this level, we will give you a chance to demonstrate to us why your experience at SSU might be more academically successful than your high school marks might suggest. This can be demonstrated in one or more of the following ways: a reference from a teacher or academic source that would attest to the reasonable hope for your ability to complete a degree; a written explanation by you for why high school grades are low (e.g. family circumstances or behavioural issues), and why there would be a good expectation for academic success at SSU; or a statement describing a relevant learning disability including a copy of a valid assessment or plans to obtain one. | | |

| Description | The Foundation Year is the name we give to the first year of all our undergrad degrees. Courses are designed to introduce you to several different subjects and ideas, which we believe is important before you decide on your major. A series of integrated workshops supplement these courses, inspiring the attitudes and values that prepare you for a successful start in your studies and your life in the SSU community. Upon successful completion of at least eight courses, you can then go into the second year of either SSU’s Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of International Studies (BIS) programs.
