Upgrading of Bachelor of Science Degrees

University of Waterloo graduates who earn a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in General Science with minimum cumulative Science and overall averages of 60% are eligible to apply to upgrade their degree to BSc, Honours Science. A petition and academic advice will be required for an upgrade to any other BSc in Science.

Minors attached to the General Science degree are not transferable. Students considering a future upgrade should consider refraining from adding a minor to their General Science degree, so that it can be awarded with the Honours Science degree.

A student with a BSc degree from the University of Waterloo or any other degree granting institution may not be admitted to a BSc degree plan.
