4. Subjects formerly or currently numbered 21, 31, 24, 34, 26c, 36c, 28, 38, Special Project 20 or 30, Work Experience Education I, 20, 30 (Core) (formerly 27, 37) and Work Experience II, 20, 30 (Core) (formerly 27, 37) are not acceptable for admission to any School or College.
5. Effective September 1996 and retroactively, subjects in Technical Education (23 and 33), Industrial Arts (25 and 35), Business Education (26 and 36) and Work Experience (27 and 37) are being recorded by Saskatchewan Learning as 20 and 30 level subjects. If the subject number was previously 23, 25, 26, 27, 33, 35, 36 or 37, or if the subject is in one or more of the previously mentioned categories, acceptability or non-acceptability will continue as in the past.

6. General Mathematics 20 or 30 and Mathematics 20 (alternate program) are not acceptable for admission to any college or school or to Unclassified Studies. Mathematics 30 (alternate program) is acceptable for admission purposes only for the College of Arts & Science and for Unclassified Studies; however, it is not an acceptable prerequisite for courses in Mathematics.
7. Adult Basic Education subjects and the General Equivalency Diploma are not acceptable for admission.
8. In general, a minimum average of 65% will be required over the subjects considered for admission.
9. There are no limitations on the number of secondary level subjects which may be repeated or taken to improve an admission average.
10. Applicants who are deficient an allowable subject and whose average on the remaining subjects is sufficiently high may apply to Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services for admission to some programs with one deficiency. The admission average with a 30-level deficiency is calculated by substituting a mark of 65% or the 20-level mark in the same subject, if available. Applicants admitted with a deficiency must, in most cases, clear the deficiency before entering the second year of university studies. Regulations regarding admission with a deficiency will be found under the individual College or School admission requirements. For a list of institutions offering high school subjects contact Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services.
Applicants may also contact the college to determine methods to clear their deficiency.
11. Applications are considered from students from all Saskatchewan Independent Schools which adhere to the Saskatchewan Learning Curriculum. Applicants from Independent Schools who do not follow the regular curriculum may fulfill the subject requirements for complete secondary level standing and for admission to the university by completing approved "1" numbered subjects or by successfully writing provincial examinations in those subjects. Applicants who do not complete the Saskatchewan Learning Curriculum requirements may apply for part-time studies on the basis of Open Admission or apply to most colleges and programs for Special (Mature) Admission at the age of 21. For further details, contact Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services.
12. Applicants who have elected to complete a home schooling program may meet the admissions requirements by: a) successfully writing the Saskatchewan Learning provincial examinations (or equivalent) and obtaining Adult 12 standing in the required subjects or b) applying for part-time studies on the basis of Open Admission, or c) applying for Special (Mature) Admission at the age of 21.
