Initiation and at least annual renewal of admissions policy is the responsibility of the Registrar. Admissions policy change and new admissions policy development is initiated by the Director of Admissions and the Registrar via the Academic Affairs Committee allowing for appropriate engagement of faculty in review of any new policies or proposed changes to current policy. Upon completion of this process, the Registrar and Vice President Academic will recommend the new policies for approval to the Faculty Council and the Senate as necessary. Written admissions appeals are heard by the Registrar and if necessary the Vice President Academic.
Admissions are granted by a review of the provided application information and all academic information. Applicants may be admitted on the basis of:
•an acceptable bachelor’s degree with specific elements contained therein (see page 40),
•additional documentation and an interview (see page 40)
•grade 12 courses,
•previous post-secondary study, either for transfer or as a previous degree,
•mature student status,
•home school student status,
•being a visiting or unclassified student
Applicants may be admitted provided they present the academic requirements outlined below. Possession of minimum academic requirements does not guarantee admission to the University. Conversely, applications for admission that do not meet the minimum admission criteria may be considered by the Registrar. Applicants who are refused admission may submit a written appeal to the Registrar. Admission will not be granted without meeting the English Language Proficiency requirements. See English Language Proficiency for additional information.
