UNB will accept a “CR” as meeting the minimum grade requirements for individual course prerequisites.
Students who have obtained a “ENR” in any of the prerequisite courses required for admission are advised to retake the course in order to receive a final grade. Final ENR grades cannot be used to meet admission requirements.
Where applicable, students may use a higher-level course (advanced, AP or IB) to meet minimum requirements (e.g. ENGL 121 may be used in place of ENGL 122; or Calculus 120 may be used in place of Pre-Calculus A and B).
Admission requirements for Grade 12 New Brunswick applicants.
UNB will continue to accept AP courses for admission purposes and assess for academic transfer credit.
CollegeBoard is going to administer AP exams online this year. You can take your exams as long as you have access to an electronic device. CollegeBoard has also provided an option for you to write your responses by hand and submit a photo.
CollegeBoard is committed to supporting their students through to exam day with testing date options and free resources.
UNB will work with international schools and applicants to accommodate as best we can by accepting the results that were given out by their schools at the end of the 2020 school year in lieu of official final exam results for countries where exams were cancelled (e.g. IGCSE, IGCSE, WASSCE, GCE, etc.)
The International Admissions Office will also consider how students have done in the previous year in relevant courses. UNB will do our best to support a fair and equitable approach and ensure that the situation of each student is considered. Electronic transcripts/marks are being accepted in lieu of traditional copies of official records at this time.
Those unable to start on their admitted term can enrol for the winter term and may register full-time in courses counting towards their degree. Completion of the degree is expected in four years from a fall start date due to course sequencing. Please contact your academic advisor for course selection inquiries.
If you are an international student, and you are experiencing study permit delays, please contact the admissions office to discuss a deferral. Please note that students should defer their admission if they are unable to arrive by the term start date.
See the undergraduate deferral form for UNB's undergraduate online deferred admission.
English Language programs with Saint John College (Saint John campus) and the Program of Academic English (PAEP, Fredericton campus) are both offering limited options for alternative delivery (AD) learning, on a case-by-case basis.
Students may be able to begin these programs at home. Students may take the Duolingo Test of English Language or CAEL online in order to be placed in the proper level.
