St Stephens University

Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirements for Admission

The university considers potential and motivation when admitting students to St. Stephen's University. A cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)  of 70% in all of your university-prep Grade 12 courses is the baseline threshold for entrance. If your average falls below this point, though, you will have the opportunity to convince the university, that your time at SSU will be more academically successful than your high school grades might indicate. One or more of the following examples can be used to illustrate this:

• A recommendation from a professor or other academic source stating that you have a good chance of finishing your degree
• A written justification from you outlining the reasons your high school grades were low (such as personal circumstances or behavioural problems) and why academic success at SSU should be expected
• A declaration outlining a pertinent learning disability, together with a copy of a legitimate evaluation or intentions to get one

Experienced Students & Homeschooling

The university's standard entrance requirement is a high school diploma. Homeschoolers and experienced students are welcome to apply, and the university considers each application individually.
