British Columbia Admission Requirements 2011-2012 www.chooselaurier.ca Basic Admission Requirements
Four academic courses at a Grade 12 level, including English 12 at a minimum of 60%. Academic courses do not have to be provincially examinable courses. However, when a provincial exam is written, the highest grade - either school grade or final grade (blended school and exam) - will be used. English 12 does require that the provincial exam be written and will be assessed on the basis of the final grade. AP Calculus will be accepted for all programs requiring a calculus prerequisite. Out of province program and application information can be found at www.wlu.ca/outofprovince.

About Kitchener-Waterloo
The thriving and culturally diverse twin cities of Kitchener-Waterloo are located about an hour west of Toronto, Ontario. With a population of just over 300,000, KW is small enough to be safe and comfortable, yet big enough to offer all the amenities you will need.
Brantford Campus
Our campus in the City of Brantford is in the heart of the downtown, in a community of just over 95,000. Embedded into the city’s core, the smaller campus size and community atmosphere provide a great location for post-secondary education.
