WESTERN'S INITIATIVE FOR SCHOLARLY EXCELLENCE (WISE) (Tuition fees waived for one full course equivalent.) Limited Enrolment

Secondary school students who are studying in Ontario at the time of their application may be eligible to enrol in one university course on campus or by distance studies at either the Constituent University or the affiliated colleges, concurrently with their secondary school studies.

Credit for this course will be granted upon successful completion of the course. Registration in a course shall require that the necessary prerequisites at the secondary school level have been attained. Students may not register in a first-year course at the University where an equivalent course in the subject is available to them in the high school system.

Requirements for the WISE program are as follows: Completion of a minimum of 24 credits. Achievement of an 80% average in subjects undertaken in Grades 10 and 11 including one or more Grade 12 U/UC courses. For those applicants who have not completed any Grade 12 U/UC courses, an overall 85 % average will be required on subjects undertaken in Grades 10 and 11. Registration in a sufficient number of secondary school subjects to fulfill Western's admission requirements and nomination by the secondary school principal, guidance counsellor or teacher are also required. WISE students will follow standard admission procedures when they wish to study at Western, subsequent to the WISE program, for an undergraduate degree program.

Applications and all documentation should be submitted to the Admissions Office no later than July 1 for the fall/winter session .

Application forms may be obtained by writing to the Registrar's Office of the Constituent University or from the Affiliated College.
