Basic Requirements for Undergraduate Admission
Ontario high school students must present the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and complete 6 grade 12 4U/M courses. The top 6 courses will be used in the calculation of a student's overall admission average. All programs require a minimum admission average (typically 70%), which may change from year to year, depending on the number of applicants and available seats. A secondary average may be used for specific programs which require academic strength in specific subjects. For example, Nursing applicants have a secondary average requirement which includes Chemistry and Biology course grades.
For program-specific admission requirements, please refer to the UWindsor viewbook, program listing, or academic calendar.
For consideration: International applicants are required to have a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) to support their study permit application. To receive a PAL, students must first confirm their offer of admission and pay an international tuition fee deposit.
Failed and Repeated Courses
The highest achieved grade for a repeated course will be used in the average calculation.
Timing and Process for Admission Decisions
UWindsor makes admission decisions for most program from early November to July. Admission to programs that require the completion of supplemental applications or auditions will be considered after these activities are completed. If you need to complete a supplimental application, you will be alerted when your OUAC application is received. All Group A applicants have untill the common response deadline (June 1, 2026), to accept their offer of admission.
Depending on the program, early admission may be provided based on a minimum 80% in final Grade 11 (3U/M) marks, and registration in a minimum of 6 Grade 12 (4U/M) courses, including prerequisites.
Consideration for provisional admission from late January through June is based on a combination of final Grade 11 marks, and final or in-progress Grade 12 marks.
Provisional admission requires final grades in a minimum of three 4U/M courses and registration in at least 6, including all 4U prerequisites. Provisional offers will be conditional upon completion of the OSSD. For admission purposes, the average of a minimum of three 4U/M courses, regardless of the number completed or in progress, will be calculated.
If you are not considered for early admission, you will be considered for provisional admission based on the average of your best six 4U/M courses, interim or final, following receipt of interim (late-April) and/or final grades.
If you are not accepted into the program of your choice at UWindsor, you will automatically be considered for alternatives. Alternate offers of admission are typically given beginning in March. We automatically re-assess applicants for their prferred program(s) as new mid-term or final grades are received.
