Can summer courses boost your average for next year requirments?
Let's say I do not reach the requirements for a certain program average-wise. Is it possible for me to take courses during the summer and have them contribute to my grades for admission?

Thanks in Advance.

If you're talking about admission to first year, probably not but contact the admissions office to see if exceptions are possible.

If you're talking about admission to second-year programs, then you might be able to get a conditional acceptance.

Depends on the program. I hear of a ton of leeway using summer classes to leverage programs/honours and so on in some programs, not so much in others. Just go ask an academic advisor before committing to anything.

Yea depends. Engineering for example only looks at first year marks, no summer
