Progression from Year 1 to Year 2 in Kinesiology?

This is a limited enrolment module, meaning that the progression standard may fluctuate from year to year depending on how many students want to progress into Kinesiology and how good their grades are. Students will at minimum need an 80% average with no grade less than 60%. Students may want to consider following the Honors BA Sport Management program as a backup plan to the combined Kinesiology and Ivey program during years 1 and 2. Please be aware students are not officially in the combined program until year 4 after they have been admitted and successfully completed HBA1.

Students must first complete HBA year 1 before registering in the combined program. Students apply for the Ivey School of Business HBA Year 1 online. For specific information pertaining to Ivey’s application process, please visit their application process page.
