    • Secondary IV: History and Citizenship Education or History of Quebec and Canada
    • Secondary IV: Science and Technology or Applied Science and Technology or Physical Science
    • Secondary IV: Mathematics
    • Secondary V: Language of Instruction
    • Secondary V: Second Language
  3. The minimum entrance requirements for students from Ontario are the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), as well as:
    • grade 10 French as a second language
    • science: SNC2P (recommended with TCJ20 or TDJ20 or TMJ20) or SNC2D (desired with TCJ20 or TDJ20 or TMJ20)

  6. We strongly encourage incoming students to acquire their driver’s permit (both for cars and farm equipment) before coming to Macdonald campus. This is first for safety reasons, given that students may work with farm equipment during the first semester. As well, most farmers require their employees and trainees (stagiaires) to drive and possess the appropriate driver’s license.

Attendance in class is compulsory. Students with attendance of less than 80% may not be permitted to write examinations.

Examinations and other work in courses will be marked according to the percentage system. The minimum passing mark in a course is 60%.

When a student's cumulative percent average (CPA) or semestrial percent average (SPA) first drops below 60%, or they fail four or more courses in a semester, withdrawal is advised. Students who choose to remain in the program are on probation.

Students on probation are normally permitted to register for no more than 10 credits per semester. They are not permitted to be on probation for more than one semester unless they obtain an SPA of 70% or higher.

Students who do not raise their CPA to 60% (or obtain an SPA of 70%) while on probation are not permitted to continue. They are required to withdraw from the program for one year. If, after this period, students wish to be readmitted, they must apply in writing to the Director of the program.
