Academic Admission Requirement

1. Aside from program entry/admission requirements, there are also specific course registration requirements (called prerequisites) which are listed within each KPU course description. In order to register for individual courses and complete the program, you should make sure that you meet the course prerequisites. For example, in order to register INFO 1112 in the Program without having to undertake any preparatory courses, you need to satisfy Level E1 as defined in the Mathematics Alternatives Table:
    - Pre-Calculus 11(C)
    - Foundations of Mathematics 11 (C+)
    - IB Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches SL (3 or C+)
    - IB Mathematics: Application & Interpretation SL (3 or C+)
    - KPU Math Placement Test (Level B = at least 10/15 on Part A of Test; 10/15 on Part B of Test)
    - KPU MATQ 1089 (C+) 

2. The math requirements for each level of the Mathematics Alternatives Table is automatically satisfied by any higher level in the table. For example, the requirement 'Level C1 as defined in the Mathematics Alternatives Table' is fulfilled by any of the courses or tests listed on Levels A1 or B1, as well as C1.

3. KPU offers appropriate upgrading/qualifying courses if you are missing any prerequisites to register for courses in the Melville School of Business program. This includes the English proficiency requirement to enter the undergraduate program at KPU. The Faculty’s pathway program may give you the option of taking English proficiency upgrading courses, while simultaneously taking a limited number of undergraduate courses at KPU before becoming eligible for admission to undergraduate studies. 

4. If you have any general questions about this program, please contact KPU's Future Students’ Office.
