Admission

The average is calculated using all course results from the last two full years of study or equating to 10 full courses or 20 half course credits. Applicants in their final year of undergraduate studies may apply using an incomplete transcript. In these cases, the same calculation will be made using the grades that are presented on the transcript at the time of application.

An incomplete transcript will have all degree courses and grades listed with the exception of the final term of study, where the courses are listed but the final grades are pending completion of courses. At the time of submission, the transcript provided must show some final year grades (first term or semester). Offers of Admission based on incomplete transcripts will be Conditional, based upon the delivery and satisfactory assessment of the final official transcript.

Submission of all post-secondary transcripts is required. Admission is based on the most recent 10 full credits or equivalent.

Faculty members encountered in classroom settings during the last two years of degree studies are preferred for reference letters. Postdoctoral Fellows, Teaching Assistants, Lab Assistants/Technicians and PhD students are not recommended to serve as referees for MES program application.

Only applicants returning to studies after an absence of three or more years may provide employer/supervisor references, in lieu of academic references. When possible, academic references are preferred. The length of time away from studies is determined by the degree completion date on the most recent transcript record. Reference letters should be written specifically for the purpose of application to the MES program. General or outdated letters of reference are insufficient, as are generic references from Human Resources.

Use of the online system is preferred over the receipt of letters sent by post. The form is easy to use, contains questions specific to the program and delivery is faster and more convenient for both the referee and the applicant. Should a letter by post be submitted, it must arrive in a sealed condition, in an envelope bearing the school stamp or signature over the seal. General or outdated letters of reference are insufficient, as are generic references from Human Resources.
