For Fellowships, and in order not to penalize potential applicants with regard to preselection for various funding programs, a “Second Class Honours, Upper Division” standing from this country will be treated as a B+. This is consistent with a number of external agencies. A “Second Class Honours, Lower Division” standing will be treated as a B- since it does not meet our minimum for admission. No standing will be converted to B for the purposes of fellowships. REQUIRED ADMISSION DOCUMENTATION: • Two official University transcripts in original language showing subjects studied and

grades received and degrees conferred. • Two official English translations of University transcripts showing subjects studied

and grades received and degrees conferred. • Two confidential sealed and signed letters of recommendation on the letterhead of the
