Admissions

Transfer Students

External Transfer Students

Students may be accepted for transfer from other post-secondary institutions. Transfer credit will be evaluated in terms of the University’s residency rules and the number of units remaining for a degree. Consideration for transfer credit will be given for relevant courses. Normally, only courses completed within the last 10 years are considered. Professional courses (e.g., medicine, dentistry) are not considered for transfer credit.

Internal and External Transfer Students

Credits transferred to any Science program are not included in cumulative average calculations. Students applying for transfer to a co-operative program in the Faculty of Science normally will not be admitted above the 2A term level. Only 5.0 transfer credit units are allowed for new students entering Science and Aviation programs.

Students currently holding a Bachelor of Science degree will normally be considered for admission into post-degree studies only.
