1. Essential Mathematics 40S cannot be used to calculate the admission average. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses
   can be used to calculate Education admission and entrance scholarship averages.                                                               All courses 40S unless otherwise indicated
2. Elementary stream: Students who have not successfully completed either Applied or Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S will be required to take an
   additional non-credit mathematics course to meet the math prerequisite for the mandated math course in the program OR take an entrance
   test to determine if they meet the math prerequisite. For more information, please contact the Faculty of Education at 204.786.9491 or
   education@uwinnipeg.ca.

How is the admission average calculated?
For those with the eligible combination of English and math, the higher grade of either the combined English credits
or the math credit will be combined with two courses from the Approved List on the next page.

Example 1:                                                                 Example 2:

› English Comp Focus 40S: 75%                                              › English Transactional Focus 40S: 84%

› English Literary Focus 40S: 79%                                          › Français 40S: 80%

› Applied Math 40S: 85%                                                    › Pre-Calculus Math 40S: 75%

The combined English grade is 77% and so the higher                        The combined English and Français grade of 82% is higher
Applied Math grade of 85% will be used along with two                      than the Pre-Calculus grade, and so that will be used along
Approved List courses.                                                     with two Approved List courses.

For students with only one English 40S, the average will be calculated using the Pre-Calculus Math
and two Approved List courses.
