The undergraduate programs (BBA and iBBA) enroll about 383 students (275 for BBA and 108 for iBBA). Applicants must also write up a supplementary application that includes a summary of the organizations, sports teams, volunteer or paid work etc that the applicant has been involved in. There are three essay type questions on the supplementary application. Two reference letters are also required. While the minimum acceptable grade fluctuates every year based on the quality of applicants, the school currently recommends that applicants have an average in the 90s. All undergraduate applicants must take at least 6 U and M courses, but cannot take more than 2 M courses in the same discipline. Applicants must also take Grade 12 English (U) and Grade 12 Advanced Functions and either Grade 12 Data Management or Grade 12 Calculus (Calculus Recommended).

Very often there is a nominal fee of $20 for membership, which helps to cover the costs of many of the events that each organization holds throughout the academic year.
