Default Final Transcript + GPA

What are the conditions for an offer of admission? Do you have to meet a GPA cut in your final year? Do you have to maintain an overall GPA of some sort?

If anyone has concrete facts from the office please share them!

Thanks.

Your GPA this can't be no more than 0.5 below your application wGPA.

i.e. if your wGPA at application was 3.85, then you need to have a 3.35 this year.

Default Hi...

Hey OT6,



I was wondering where it's possible to find this info on the annual avg policy cause I searched their guidlines and can't turn up w/ it. I only ask because I experienced some personal difficulties that may not allow me to hold up to the 0.5 thingy since I had a very strong GPA to begin with, do they make exceptions if you have legitimate reasons?....

Email the office: admissmd@uottawa.ca

I don't think it's outlined in any official documents.

They told me that since I wasn't currently enrolled in any required courses after my acceptance that it did not matter what grades I received. In fact, I dropped out and my transcript shows me as not even officially completing my semester.

Default OT6 was right

Hey guys,


I checked with admissions today, the thing OT6 said about being no more than 0.5 below is true. i.e. if you applied with a 4.00 (which many do) then an annual 3.50 is required at the end. That's OMSAS scale.
