Admission will be based on the cote de rendement au collégial (
cote r); overall
cote r and
cote r in prerequisite courses are considered.
Within the University provisions, candidates who are at least 23 years old and are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, may be eligible for consideration as Mature Students. See www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/2014-15/mature for more specific details. An applicant requesting entry as a Mature Student must have successfully completed a minimum of three courses: one in functions (precalculus; calculus is preferred), and at least two of general biology, chemistry, or physics (all with labs). Each of the courses must have been completed at the CEGEP or university level, with a minimum university grade of 70% or equivalent. Mature students are advised to meet with CEGEP representatives to determine what courses they should take based on high school science studies. Candidates with these prerequisites may then be admitted to the 139- or 140-credit B.Sc.(N.) program (four years, see U0 year in
section 8.2.1.2 “B.Sc.(N.) Course of Study”; students will not repeat CEGEP level courses that are equivalent to U0 courses).
Applicants who already have a general bachelor's degree in Science or Arts, or will have completed such an undergraduate degree by August 1 of the entering year, should contact Service Point at www.mcgill.ca/students/servicepoint or the McGill Welcome Centre at
www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/introducing-mcgill/visit-mcgill/welcome-centre. Said applicants may be eligible to apply either for entrance to the B.Sc.(N.) program or to the Qualifying Year of the Master's program. Application to the B.Sc.(N.) program is made to Enrolment Services. Requests for information regarding applications to the Qualifying Year should be directed to the Ingram School of Nursing.
