Data Science Grade Requirements

We will begin accepting applications for fall 2025 admission to co-op in late February or early March. The deadline to apply for co-op is September 5, 2025.

In order to qualify for an admission interview, you had to obtain a minimum GPA of 7.00 overall in your first year. Interviews will take place in late November or early December of your second year.

To qualify for admission, you must also obtain an overall GPA of 7.00 after completing term 2A in the fall.

You will need to have completed at least five credits, and no more than 7.5 credits (including transfer credits), by the end of August. You must be enrolled full-time (at least four courses) in second year as of September.

Courses Graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory

When calculating your GPA, we will include only those courses for which we see a numeric grade. We will exclude grades from courses such as UU150 that provide only a grade of either satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

We will, however, include courses graded as "satisfactory" when counting the number of courses you have completed.

We may give you slightly less credit for your marks than we give students who provided numeric grades for all ten half-credits

Didn't Meet the GPA Requirements?

We will grant admission interviews only to students who achieved the minimum GPA required by the application deadline.

If you fail to meet the minimum GPA, but you petition your department to reconsider any of your grades, let us know your new grades as soon as possible. Please submit your petition by September 15, to ensure your department has time to make a decision by November 1. We will not consider requests we receive after November 1.

If after your petition, you meet the minimum GPA, we will offer you an admission interview, and will make decisions very soon after. To be eligible, you must also have met the application deadline.
