The college receives applications from people of different ages, interests, and attitudes, as well as from those of widely different racial and ethnic backgrounds. General Requirements for Admission University College New Brunswick students ordinarily are selected from applicants who have graduated from approved high schools, or the equivalent, and from applicants who have attended other colleges. An applicant whose academic potential is not readily ascertained from his or her records, but who exhibits a high degree of talent and motivation, may be admitted by interview.
Applicants admitted by interview are subject to scholastic probation.
It is recommended strongly that students on probation enroll for no more than two courses per term. Probationary status may be removed upon the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 12 credits as a University College student. Candidates who have not completed the above distribution units also may be admitted. Such students can satisfy the unfulfilled requirements by taking the appropriate courses while enrolled at University College or by demonstrating proficiency through examination. An applicant who is not a graduate of an approved high school or the equivalent may, subject to appropriate regulations, be admitted to University College New Brunswick by completion of the Tests of General Education Development with sufficiently high scores to indicate probable success in college.
