Students may apply to the program with some outstanding prerequisites if they demonstrate a plan to complete these courses prior to starting classes in the program. While filling out the Prerequisite Courses table on the Program Application, courses that you are currently taking should be listed as CE (current enrollment) in the Letter Grade column, while courses that you are not currently enrolled in, but plan to take before starting the program, should be listed as PE (Planned Enrolment) in said column. Listing these courses on your application represents a commitment on your part to take and successfully complete these courses should you be admitted to the program. Once completed, applicants must forward an official transcript documenting successful completion of these courses and their degree.
