Applicants must meet the minimum requirements for all programs PLUS program specific requirements.
Minimum Admission Requirements for All Programs
Spaces in the Teacher Education program are limited, and admission is not guaranteed by fulfilling the minimum requirements. If you are a mature student, you must meet the same requirements as all other applicants.
All applicants, regardless of preferred division, will be assessed on your admission average.** Brock requires a minimum “B” average, equivalent to 70 percent at Brock, based on the best 10 full undergraduate degree level credits. These 10 credits must be completed at the time of application.
Important considerations:
- Your undergraduate degree must be completed no later than April of the specified Admissions Year.
- Only those credits completed at the undergraduate degree level within an acceptable undergraduate degree program are used to calculate admission averages. A full undergraduate university (degree level) credit is the equivalent of one academic year of study. College diploma credits assigned as advanced standing in a degree program will not be used for these purposes.
- Some preference is given to applicants with graduate level qualifications.
The minimum credential for admission is an undergraduate degree conferred by an acceptable university or other postsecondary institution as outlined below:
- In Canada, an acceptable university is one that is authorized to confer academic degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates.
- In Canada, an acceptable college is one that is authorized to confer degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates; the college must be publicly funded.
- In the United States, an acceptable university is one that is authorized to confer academic degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates. A university must be recognized by one of the following regional accreditation agencies: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools; New England Association of Schools and Colleges; North Central Association of Colleges and Schools; Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities; Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; or Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The university must be considered equivalent to a university referred to in number 1.
- In a country other than Canada an acceptable university is one that is authorized to confer academic degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates. Typically, in the case of a country that is a member of the Commonwealth, the university is eligible for membership in the Association of Commonwealth Universities. For all other countries, eligibility for membership in the International Association of Universities is expected. A university must be considered equivalent to an institution referred to in number 1.
Important Note: Brock University reserves the right to determine if degrees granted by institutions in the above categories are suitable for the purpose of admission to Brock’s teacher education program.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents who are Aboriginal, members of visible minorities, or persons with a disability are encouraged to apply. If you meet the minimum admission requirements and feel you have been academically disadvantaged, outline your reasons in a personal statement. You may also be individually reviewed (see the appropriate section of the Experience Profile for details). If you have less than 70 percent on your top 10 full university credits, you will not be considered under the Accessibility Policy.
If you are admitted under this policy and meet the initial admission requirements, you are required to meet the same progression and graduation standards as other students.
