Requirements

To qualify for this agreement, students must have:
- successfully completed Fleming College’s Conservation Biology Diploma program;
- a minimum overall average of 75%.

NOTE: Admission to the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Conservation Biology is competitive. As a result, meeting the minimum requirements for this articulation agreement does not guarantee admission to the program. Students eligible for this agreement who do not gain entry to the Conservation Biology program will receive an alternate offer to the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biology. These students may complete an internal application to Conservation Biology in their second semester at Trent to be reconsidered for the program. Minimum requirements will apply. Students are advised to meet with an academic advisor and consult Trent's Academic Calendar for further details.
