Subject: BC student admissions - Provincial Exams

Dave,

I received this through the grape-vine, and wanted to provide you with UPEI's position:

Admission of BC high school students to most undergraduate programs at UPEI is based on an average of five academic Grade 12 courses.

The University of Prince Edward Island does not require BC applicants to write Provincial Exams. Where Provincial Exam results are presented for admission, they will be considered along with the subject school grade.

Where students chose not to write a provincial exam in a subject being assessed for admission, the school grade will be used to base an admission decision.

Admission guidelines for BC students can be viewed at:

Best regards,

Darcy
