A GPA will be generated using the five courses above for admissions consideration and ranking. Applicants with post-secondary education will be additionally ranked by number of post-secondary credits completed and if they have completed a degree. 

Additional information for high school applicants

High school students may apply; however, it is beneficial to successfully complete some post-secondary courses first. If you are applying while completing high school, and have not been accepted into the program, we recommend that you register for the BSc program and take some of the first-year RT service courses before applying to the RT program:

  • English/Communications (six credits).
  • Human Anatomy/Physiology (six credits).
  • Physics (three credits at university level).
  • Statistics (three credits)
This may lighten your workload in the first year of the RT program. Please note, taking the courses listed above will not guarantee your acceptance into the program. Admission is dependent upon the cumulative GPA of completed applicable courses.
