Subject: RE: Prov exam from BC???

The U of A has recently implemented a change allowing students completing the BC high school curriculum to be considered for admission without the completion of the optional BC Provincial Exams. Students applying for September 2009 are no longer required to complete the optional exams in order to use those courses for admission.

If a student chooses to write an optional BC Provincial Exam, then the blended final grade as it appears on the BC Ministry transcript will be used for admission purposes.

Regards,

Brant
