Individual degree programs have specific course requirements. Please refer to the Admissions Chart for specific course requirements for Nipissing degree programs. A table showing high school courses for all provinces and territories that are equivalent to admission requirements for Ontario students can be found at www.nipissingu.ca/registrar/downloads/Out-of-Province-Admission-Requirements.pdf
 
Admission is competitive and minimum cut-off averages are established each year. Applicants must present a completed secondary school diploma. The admissions average is calculated using the best grades as required including pre-requisite courses. The admissions cut-off averages for full-time (30 credits) status are at least 70% and can be higher. A minimum of 75% is required for consideration for Criminal Justice, BA or BSc with Concurrent Education and degrees with Orientation to Teaching (OTT). Those with less than 70% will only be considered for admission with reduced course loads and possibly to alternate programs.
