Admission to the Coordinated Dietetics Program

Enrollment in the CP occurs during the student's final two years of study and is limited to 15 students per year. Students must apply for admission to this phase of the program. To be eligible for consideration for the February 2008 application pool, the applicant must have a minimum cumulative 2.5 grade point average (GPA) and have completed or be able to complete prior to starting the CP the first four semesters of courses listed under the Program of Study. The minimum cumulative GPA for February 2009 and thereafter is 2.9. Please see specific requirements for NUTR S 2340 and BIOCHM 3630 below.

The student must be enrolled in or already have completed NUTR S 2340 and BIOCHM 3630 at the time the CP application is submitted. Students must achieve a final course grade of B- or better in both NUTR S 2340 and BIOCHM 3630, or equivalent transfer course approved by faculty. Failure to meet these criteria may result in forfeiture of a space in the CP.

Applications are due by the first Monday in February for students seeking to begin the program in the following fall semester. Admission into the university does not guarantee admission into the program. The application process involves submission of a completed application form, transcripts, letter of application, references, documentation of dietitian observations, grocery store assignment, a personal interview and brief writing activity.
