Ranking
Applicants in this category must have the six post-secondary courses noted above. A GPA will be generated using those six courses for admissions consideration and ranking. Additional post-secondary education will be further ranked by number of post-secondary credits completed and if a degree has been obtained. Fast-track applicants who do not receive an offer may be considered for the three-year diploma stream.
The number of fast-track seats is limited.
Fast-track transcripts are assessed for year one transfer credits. Please be aware that post-secondary courses supersede high school courses.
As a fast-track applicant, you will be notified of your admission decision in early March.
If accepted, you should receive a conditional acceptance into the fast-track option, subject to the successful completion of the distance courses listed below.
RESP 1761 | Pulmonary Physiology and Introduction to Ventilation |
RESP 1781 | Respiratory Therapy Equipment |
HLTH 2511 | Introduction to Pharmacology |
Moodle course | RT Medical Terminology |
*Fast track applicants wishing to get a head start may complete HLTH 2511 after application, however doing so does NOT guarantee a fast-track seat offer.
Note: The courses listed above are for fast-track students only or for students who have been granted approval by the RT department. If students are declined a seat in fast-track and accept a seat in first year, they will need to register in the face-to-face RESP courses.
