Admission process:
Students can apply to the Global Resource Systems (GRS) program after completing 24 credits of first year university-level courses from any program. While not required, students interested in applying to GRS are encouraged to follow the first-year requirements: link.
To be considered, students are required to have a minimum academic standing of at least 70% (or 2.80 on a 4-point scale). Achievement of this minimum, however, does not guarantee admission.
