Candidates for Special Case admissions should be excellent students with a weighted cumulative average of at least 75% over the last two years (60 credit units). Instructions for Special Case applications are found on Form GSR 405. Students follow regular admission procedures using form GSR 101 and the Online Application. The academic unit is responsible for completing the remainder of the Special Case application.
