This site describes all the ways you can get into university in Canada and has information on all Canadian universities. This isn't a high traffic message board but you are welcome to add information and ask questions regarding Ontario University Admission policies for Homeschooled and other non-traditional students.

https://admission.uoguelph.ca/template.aspx?SiteID=0577fd55-03d8-4564-b10d-7a1cc0ff392b current as of June 10, 2008: Home Schooled Students Students who have been home schooled or home educated may qualify for admission to an undergraduate program by satisfying either of the requirements outlined below. Admission to all programs is competitive, and admission decisions are based upon academic performance. Please note that the University of Guelph does not provide individual educational assessments for home schooled applicants. 1. Complete six 4U/4M courses (offered by an Ontario Ministry of Education inspected school), including prerequisites . Home schooled students may pursue an independent curriculum to the grade 11 level. The 4U/4M courses may be completed via correspondence, on-line learning, night school, day school, or any combination thereof. Provided a letter is submitted by the student indicating that they have been home-schooled to the grade 11 level, the OSSD [Ontario high school Diploma] requirement will be waived. Students applying in this manner are expected to present the same admission average and prerequisites as other Ontario Grade 12 applicants. This option is recommended as the preferred choice as it best prepares the student for entrance into our programs, especially in the sciences. Students completing equivalent qualifications from other Canadian provinces will be considered provided the studies satisfy provincial requirements. For details on required subjects, please visit Specific Subject Requirements for Programs by Province . Students completing their studies in the United States will be considered provided the studies have been completed through a high school that is recognized by an accrediting body acceptable to the University of Guelph. Students are required to present the U.S. high school diploma with appropriate subjects as well as SAT Reasoning Test or ACT scores. For details, please visit Admission Requirement for American Students. 2. Present acceptable test scores from the SAT Reasoning Test/ACT and three SAT Subject Tests. The specific SAT Subject Tests required depend upon the intended field of study. * Biological Sciences: Math (level 2), Biology (either E or M) and Chemistry * Physical Sciences: Math (level 2), Physics and Chemistry * Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences: Literature, and two additional humanities or social science type courses (e.g. World History, French, etc.) * Commerce--Math (preferably level 2) plus two additional SAT's In addition, an outline of the curriculum followed should be sent to Admission Services along with a letter of intent. Information on testing dates and test centres for the SAT Reasoning Test and the SAT Subject Tests can be found at www.collegeboard.com . ACT information can be found at www.act.org . As these tests are offered at set dates, usually in the fall and spring, applicants are advised to register well in advance. Completed Advanced Placement (AP) exams will be considered in lieu of SAT Subject Tests on a subject for subject basis. As these exams are available only in May, students interested in this option should write the exam the year before they apply, provided they are prepared. Details on the AP can be found at www.collegeboard.com . For both categories 1 and 2 above, the application deadline (via the OUAC 105) is March 1, and the document deadline for 4U/4M courses or SAT test scores is April 1. Should you have questions about the above information, please contact us . Edited by SarahRainsberger, Jun 10 2009, 09:42 PM.
