If you're looking specifically for Ontario homeschool information, be sure to visit Sarah Rainsberger's University Admissions Blog for Homeschoolers in Ontario.

For more general information about getting into university in Canada (with or without a high school diploma!), visit University Admissions . ca . 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. Click the "Recent Activity" link near the top right to see the latest posts. There's not a lot of posting, but I do reply to all questions!

As you navigate the university admission process as a homeschooler, mature student or anyone without the traditional academic credentials required for normal university entrance, I hope the policies here will be useful. If you notice something has changed or is out of date, don't hesitate to log in and update the information.

Current as of May 9, 2008 as per http://www.queensu.ca/calendars/artsci/pg45.html

A maximum of 3.0 credits may be granted for Advanced Placement examinations passed with a grade of 4 or higher. Official examination results must be forwarded to Admission Services.

HOWEVER, this web page dated Feb. 8, 2008 says that Queen's Faculty of Science is in the process of reviewing their AP policies. Decisions have been made about credit equivalences for the following courses:

AP Physics B: No credit
AP Physics C Mechanics (score of at least 4): Credit for APSC111
AP Physics C Elec and Mag (score of at least 4): Credit for APSC112
AP Physics C Elec and Mag AND Mech (score at least 4): Credit for APSC111 and APSC112

AP Calculus AB: No credit
AP Calculus BC: (score of 5 or higher) Credit for APSC171
AP Chemistry: No credit
AP Computer Science A: No credit

Unspecified Complementary Studies credits are given for a number of other non technical AP courses. Please email reception@appsci.queensu.ca for more information.
