Canada & the United States A Comparative Break Down Of Undergraduate Courses Admission Requirements
Admission Requirement Admission is Competitive: Possession of minimum admission average for consideration does not guarantee admission.
LLI Pathway Process • LLI will complete and assist students' applications to these Universities. • Conditional letters of acceptance are available for undergraduate programs prior to a students arrival in Canada. Conditions are based on the successful completion of the Academic Preparation program. Students must meet the “student contract” conditions in order to pass the Academic Preparation Program. Students who do not complete our program may write a formal CAEL test in order to receive their final acceptance. • Acceptance into the University is truly based on a students academic background • Transcripts from high school and/or University/College are required so we can screen the students pre-requisite courses. LLI will review electronic copies of students high school transcripts. The transcripts must be translated officially into English. Once a pre screening has taken place LLI will inform the student on what university best suits their academic background. In the case that a student does not meet the minimum academic standards the student will be notified immediately. • If a student does not have the academic average to meet admission into a program they may enrol in our pathway program and take a General Arts and Science course at Fanshawe College for 8 months. If a student attains a 80% plus average they can then apply to university programs.
LLI Pathway Process • Processing Times: Once a student submits their academic transcripts for screening they will be notified within 72 business hours of their opportunities. Students will have to then send original or notarized copies of their transcripts to LLI-Canada where we will complete the application and forward to the university for review. • Approximately 3-5 weeks latter the student will receive a decision from the university.
