Continuous Admissions Policy
St. Thomas University processes applications for the Bachelor of Arts programme on a continuing basis until August 31. We will begin accepting applications from well-qualified candidates for September 2013 in October 2012. Grade 12 students who have achieved an average of 80% or higher on five Grade 11 academic courses, including English literature, and whose Grade 12 programmes satisfy the university’s subject distribution requirements, will receive conditional offers of admission during the first semester of their senior year.

Applicants who wish to be considered under this policy may, beginning in October, submit their high school transcript showing Grade 11 (junior year) final grades, as well as first- and second-term Grade 12 (senior year) courses directly to the Admissions Office by December 3, 2012.

High school students who apply after December 3, 2012, or whose admission averages do not meet the above criteria should arrange for a high school transcript showing Grade 12 first-semester results (or Grade 12 mid-year results for non-semestered schools) to be sent to the Admissions Office as soon as it is available. Qualified candidates will be offered conditional acceptance when these results are received.

All applicants who wish to be considered for scholarships (including the guaranteed scholarships) must submit a transcript showing their Grade 12 first-semester results (or Grade 12 mid-year results for non-semestered schools) to the Admissions Office. For major scholarships, transcripts must be received by March 1 of the year the applicant plans to attend STU.

In all cases, students must complete their high school graduation requirements and submit transcripts of their final results (including verification of graduation) to the Admissions Office as soon as they are available.
