University of New Brunswick

UNB publishes a minimum admission average per program, calculated on six specific high school courses chosen by program. The published minimums are 65% for Arts and Applied Arts, 70% for the Saint John Applied Management bridges, and 75% for Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Software Engineering, Geomatics, Science, Nursing, Health, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Recreation and Sport Studies, Medical Laboratory Science, Information Sciences and the Bachelor of Philosophy. Several programs also set per-course grade floors above the overall average, and UNB states plainly that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to any program.

No. As of this review UNB's dates-and-deadlines page carries no 2027 label at all, and the calendar in force is the 2026-2027 Admission Regulations. UNB publishes recurring month-and-day deadlines with no year attached — March 31 for fall, November 15 for winter, March 1 for scholarships, February 15 for Nursing and Health Sciences, May 15 to accept an offer — so the page never visibly expires. The only year-stamped dates on the site belong to the Fall 2026 cycle: an April 3, 2026 early-deposit draw, a September 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 application-fee waiver window, and a January 28, 2026 Schulich nomination deadline. Treat the recurring dates as a planning pattern and confirm the Fall 2027 versions.

The general fall application deadline is March 31 and the general winter deadline is November 15, both published without a year. Program-specific deadlines are February 15 for the Bachelor of Nursing on both campuses, the LPN pathways, the Saint John Bachelor of Health Sciences and the Fredericton Bachelor of Philosophy; January 31 for the Saint John concurrent BA/BEd and Bachelor of Social Work; and November 15 for Advanced Standing Nursing at the Moncton site. The Fredericton Bachelor of Education deadline is contradicted on UNB's own site — December 1 on the dates page and in the calendar regulations, December 15 on the Canadian-applicant and international deadline pages. Work to December 1.

UNB uses six specific high school courses, chosen according to the program applied for, and takes the overall average of those grades. Where a required Grade 12 course is still in progress, UNB estimates from the Grade 11 prerequisite and does not accept mid-term grades. Where several acceptable electives exist, UNB states it will choose the elective courses with the highest grades. Electives are sorted into five groups: Group 1 academic subjects, Group 2 business subjects, Group 3 communication and arts, Group 4 drafting and electronics, and Group 5 health and physical education.

The scholarship average is the admission average plus bonus points for enriched Grade 11 and 12 courses — AP, IB, Level 1 and similar — where the student achieved 75% or higher. One to three enriched courses earn one bonus point, four to six earn a maximum of two, seven to nine a maximum of three, and ten or more a maximum of four. The rule that matters most is the one UNB states explicitly: the scholarship average is not rounded, so a 79.9% average does not become an 80% and does not reach the guaranteed-scholarship threshold.

Yes, and it publishes the ladder. UNB states that every high school student entering with an 80%+ scholarship average is guaranteed a scholarship, provided a scholarship application is submitted. The published minimum amounts are $500 at an 80–84.9% scholarship average, $1,000 at 85–89.9%, $2,000 at 90–94.9%, $4,000 at 95–99.9%, and $5,000 at 100%. These are floors, not caps — the scholarship application also feeds the named awards. There is no separate Fredericton and Saint John ladder; the calendar states awards are tenable at both campuses unless otherwise specified.
