You’re welcome!

Welcome everyone! I am here to help Connor today. If you have questions during the presentation, I invite you to use this chat function and we will answer questions at the end!

Hi everyone! Happy to help :)

Pieter Breijer pj_breijer@laurentian.ca

Where do the students take the ACEX course?

Hi Renee! Excellent question - we are following the presentation with a Q&A. I am adding it to the queue

If someone takes a gap year, are the criteria for entry different then those entering directly from High School?

Entering directly from High School

Thanks Jordyn! I am adding it to the queue :)

Hello Renee, it is a course they take with us at Laurentian. It can count as an elective course in their degree of choice as well.

Thank you Jordyn! The admissions requirements would not change. All our requirements are always based on Ontario High School curriculum but students can find ways to meet the requirements after going to other post-secondary institutions (College or University).

Thank you!

Is there a complete list of universities that offer automatic academic scholarships?

Is a concurrent education program the same in credit requirements for the bachelor of education and the additional bachelor as if you were to do a double major.

Hi Robert! I will add it to the list for Connor but the short answer is yes!

There’s an excellent ressource for everyone at https://www.ontariouniversitiesinfo.ca/scholarships

will you email this presentation to all?

Thanks Rich! Please direct me to that list if possible

Hi Alok, it’ll be sent via email... yes! :)

Hello Alex! Concurrent Education (4+1 year program) is working towards the 4-year Bachelors degree of your choice at the same time at working through the Bachelor of Education program (2-year program)

Are students able to apply to more than one program?

Thanks

Hi Wendy! Great question - adding it to the queue

But to answer it quickly! Yes, you can :)

I heard that OUF is cancelled for the fall - do you know if there will be a virtual OUF experience?

Do universities look at grade 11 marks?

Thank you Grace, the cancellation is recent and no virtual announcements have been made. We know they are looking into all options to keep everyone safe and keep the information flowing to students.

are out of province students equally considered for acceptance or do Ontario students get preference?

Joanne I will add your question to the list :)

Quickly, we have equal consideration for all programs if you apply by the appropriate deadline.

He just answered my question about grade 11 marks- thanks.
