1. Students are strongly advised to include Chemistry or Physics in their program of studies. Applicants are considered on the basis of academic performance, a review of a Background Information Sheet and portfolio. Application forms must be received by March 1. Please refer to the deadline dates for the Background Information Form, portfolio and transcripts at the end of this chapter under the heading Deadline Dates - Advanced Standing, Non-Degree and Limited Enrolment Programs.

It is highly recommended that students select one of the two additional credits bearing in mind:

1. Their eventual specialization.

2. Regulation I on Introductory Courses, Section IX-B.Sc. Applicants who lack one specific OAC or Grade 12U requirement but who have a high overall academic standing are encouraged to apply for admission to the Regular program.

2. Students who are lacking a specific OAC or Grade 12U subject requirement but who have a high overall academic standing are encouraged to apply for admission.

1. All applicants are encouraged to include both OAC or Grade 12U Physics and Chemistry in their course credits.

2. Applicants are considered on the basis of academic performance and a review of a Student Profile Form submitted to the B.Sc. (Eng.) Admissions Committee. In addition, due to the nature of the program, personal interviews and/or special tests may be used to assist in the selection of candidates. Differential criteria may prevail for admission to the various B.Sc. (Eng.) programs. Students who are admitted but lack specific required courses must complete replacement courses available at the University which do not all count towards the 23.50 credits required for the B.Sc. (Eng.) program. Students intending to enrol in these courses should consult the timetable and Section XII of the Calendar to determine the semesters during which they are offered.

3. Applicants who lack a specific subject requirement but who have a high overall academic standing are encouraged to apply for admission to the Regular program. Replacement credits are available at the University of Guelph and 0.50 may be counted for credit in the degree.

4. Students selecting a major in Environmental and Biological Engineering are advised to include Physics, Chemistry and Biology in their program of study. Students intending to major in Water Resources Engineering should include Physics, Chemistry and 1 of Biology or Computer Studies. Engineering Systems and Computing majors should include Physics, Chemistry and Computer Studies.

1. To be best prepared for semester 1 of the program, all applicants are advised to include OAC or Grade 12U Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

2. Students interested in Environmental Geography or Natural Resources Management should consider OAC or Grade 12U Geography in their program of study.

3. Students who lack any of the specific subject requirements but who have a high overall academic average are encouraged to apply for admission. Students who are admitted with a deficiency in one of the secondary school requirements are encouraged to seek advice from their academic or admissions counsellor. This deficiency must be resolved in the first year of the program.

1. It is highly recommended that students interested in the Physics and Technology program take OAC Algebra and Geometry or Grade 12 Geometry and Discrete Mathematics and Physics at the OAC or Grade 12U level.

2. It is highly recommended that students interested in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry program take OAC or Grade 12U Chemistry.

For admission to the D.V.M. Program, a minimum of four full-time semesters (10.00 credits), including:

1. Biological Sciences - 1.50 credits (3 semester courses, with recommended emphasis on Animal Biology; one must be a Cell Biology)

2. Genetics - 0.50 credit (1 semester course)

3. Biochemistry - 0.50 credit (1 semester course)

4. Statistics - 0.50 credit (1 semester course with a Calculus prerequisite)

5. Humanities or Social Sciences - 1.00 credit* (2 semester courses)

Applicants must complete prerequisite courses while registered on a full-time basis (e.g. University of Guelph 2.50 credits per semester, the equivalent of five half-year courses per semester).

*Students entering the D.V.M. Program should be able to operate across discipline boundaries recognizing the relevance of the humanities and the social sciences to their career choice. In selecting these courses from among those acceptable, the prospective veterinary student should consider topics such as ethics, logic, critical thinking, determinants of human behaviour and human social interaction.

All courses must be at university level. Applicants should consult the list of acceptable University of Guelph courses and subject areas online at <http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/Undergrad/potential/admission.shtm>. Courses need not be completed in a specialized college or faculty or in a designated Pre-Veterinary program. Students wishing to undertake their preparatory work at the University of Guelph should seek admission to the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture programs. Students who wish to undertake their preparatory work at another university should select an institution that offers the specific course requirements listed above as part of a degree program and that has rigorous entrance requirements and a reputation for academic quality.

Applications will also be considered from persons who have successfully completed a graduate program. Persons who qualify must indicate their desire to be considered in the graduate student cohort. Their application will then be removed from the undergraduate applicant pool and considered separately. Applicants in this cohort must have completed all requirements for their graduate degree prior to August 31 of the year of entry to the DVM program. Selection for interviews will be made on the basis of academic achievement and evaluation of a Background Information Form, referee assessments, and letters of reference from persons familiar with the applicant's performance as a graduate student. Final selection will be based on this information and assessment interview. A maximum of five students may be selected from this cohort each year.

Because of limitations in class size, all candidates should have an alternative career objective and course selection should be compatible with this objective.
