Hey! so i'm really interested in studying abroad in my 3rd year. I'm going into my second year this year, and i noticed that it said we have to have a 7.0 average. Do you know if this is cumulative through my 2 years, or just during my second year? Thanks!

Pretty sure it's all, but check out the OISA site here. Or to be extra sure, contact the academic advisor for your faculty/program and ask them.

and it's with any faculty. just depending on where you go, certain schools host certain faculties/majors.
