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

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

1. Biological Sciences - 1.00 credits (2 semester courses, with recommended emphasis on Animal Biology)

2. Cell Biology - 0.50 credit (1 semester course)

3. Genetics - 0.50 credit (1 semester course)

4. Biochemistry - 0.50 credit (1 semester course)

5. Statistics - 0.50 credit (1 semester course)

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

Applicants must complete prerequisite courses within full-time semesters (e.g. University of Guelph 2.50 credits per semester, the equivalent of five half-year courses per semester).

Note: Academic requirements for applicants to the D.V.M. Program for 2020 Entry are as follows:

To be eligible to apply for September 2020 entry to the D.V.M. Program students must have completed a minimum of four full-time semesters, including all D.V.M. prerequisite courses at a recognized university before December 31, 2019.

Please refer to the 2020 D.V.M. application and required document deadline dates at: http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/recruitment/en/index.asp

*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 the university level. Applicants should consult the list of acceptable University of Guelph courses and prerequisite subjects online at http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/recruitment/en/index.asp . Courses need not be completed in a specialized college or faculty or in a designated Pre-Veterinary program. Any student who has attended university and completed two years of a full-time bachelor’s degree and fulfilled the DVM entry requirements can apply to the D.V.M. program at the Ontario Veterinary College

Applications will also be considered from persons who have successfully completed a graduate program and from persons currently enrolled in a graduate program. For those persons currently enrolled in a graduate program, all requirements of the program must be successfully completed by August 1st of the year of entry to the D.V.M. 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. Selection for interviews will be made on the basis of academic achievement including grades in acceptable prerequisite subjects (undergraduate and graduate courses), evaluation of the Background Information Form, two letters of reference from persons assessing the applicant's skills and knowledge of veterinary medicine and two letters of reference for persons familiar with the applicant's performance as a graduate student. Final selection will be based on this information and an interview. Normally a maximum of five students will 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.

Canadian citizens or individuals who have Permanent Resident Status of at least one year's duration are eligible to apply as domestic students if they also satisfy the Ontario residency requirement. 'Resident' in this context is interpreted to mean someone who has resided in Ontario for twelve months, exclusive of time spent in post-secondary institutions.

Since the number of applicants who satisfy the specific course requirements exceeds the number of available spaces in the D.V.M. Program, the Admissions Sub-Committee may use the following criteria to determine those who will be admitted. The members of the Sub-Committee endeavour to select those well-qualified applicants who, in their judgement, will be best able to successfully complete the veterinary medicine curriculum and who exhibit potential to become competent, responsible veterinarians dedicated to a lifetime of productive public service and continued learning. Candidates should pay attention to the selection criteria and attributes required for entry into the D.V.M. Program and use this information to guide them in preparation for application.

Applicants should be aware that a number of attributes are required for admission to the Program. In addition to those already identified above under SelectionCriteria (e.g. academic achievement, academic aptitude, integrity) a number of others, some of which relate to certain University of Guelph Learning Objectives, have been identified. These are presented here to assist prospective candidates in preparing themselves for admission.

Applicants currently or previously registered at the University of Guelph should apply using the Internal Transfer Application form, available at: http://admission.uoguelph.ca/internal. All other domestic applicants, including those with dual Canadian citizenship, must apply through the Ontario Universities Application Centre 105 Application http://www.ouac.on.ca/.

International applicants should apply through the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS). For further details see http://aavmc.org/vmcas/vmcas.htm. Alternatively, international applicants can apply using the University of Guelph International Application found at https://admission.uoguelph.ca/intapp . .

The application deadline for Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada is December 1, 2019.

Please refer to deadline dates for supporting documentation including, references, official transcripts and the Background Information Form at: http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca.

The application deadline for International applicants using the VMCAS application is September 15. Those applying directly to the University of Guelph are advised to apply and submit all supporting documentation by October 1.

In total, only four applications for admission to the D.V.M. Program will be considered from an individual.

Requests for deferral of admission to the D.V.M. program will not be permitted except on approval by the Admissions Committee due to significant medical, psychological or compassionate reasons.

A condition of admission to the D.V.M. Program is agreement to a rabies immunization program which includes blood titre evaluation. Exemption from this condition may be granted in exceptional circumstances, but the student concerned must sign a release absolving the University of further liability.

Live animals may be used for teaching purposes in some courses in the Veterinary Program, and this must be accepted by students admitted to the program. All animals are protected by the Animals for Research Act of Ontario (1980), the Guidelines for the Care and Use of Experimental Animals (Canadian Council on Animal Care), and the Animal Care Policies of the University of Guelph.
