I want to do my BSN at Ottawa University. I called the school plus reading on their website and both indicated that I need Math, Biology, Chemistry, and English all 4U for my prerequisites. So I decided to go to Adult High School which is free and they have online courses.
I have a 2 years diploma in Developmental Service Work (DSW) and a second Diploma in Social Work (SW) both from Algonquin College. I did quite a number of science courses especially in DSW including Health Science and Pharmacology. I asked Ottawa University on phone if they could do a pre-assessment of Transcripts and see if I qualify to apply, but they said they do not do that. I have to officially apply. So I decided to go to Adult High School since I know I need chemistry because it is not any where on my transcripts from High school through college.
I did my High School through International Career School by correspondence which Ottawa University said they are fine with it. Math, Biology, and English are all indicated on my transcript with a good mark. However, I don't know if it is 4U or not. The person spoke to on the phone at Ottawa University said it would not say. So I don't Know! I guess I have to call ICS.
My questions are:
1- Does anyone out there know if my college sciences and English can be used in replacement of 4U Biology and English?
2- Can I apply to the university for the sake of telling me what exactly I need according the transcripts I have? Or
3- Can I only take Chemistry 4U and give it a try? Or it doesn't matter I just have to go back to high school and take all the four Prerequisites? Please help me.
