College Transfer Admission Guidelines
- Admission consideration is primarily based on your most recent college studies. However, we will review your overall academic record for extra evaluation purposes.
- You must disclose all academic studies on your application in order to be considered for admission and transfer credit.
- Studies must have been completed in a College of Applied Arts and Technology (Ontario), or equivalent accredited institution as determined by Brock University.
- Studies completed at a private career college registered under the Ontario Private Career Colleges Act 2005 will not be used to determine admissibility or for the purpose of awarding of transfer credit.
- Course prerequisites must be met at the Grade 12 university-preparatory level (or equivalent) for all domestic and international applicants. In some cases, prerequisites may be considered from post-secondary studies. Additional documentation may be requested to determine prerequisite equivalency.
- Brock University will determine the course-to-course equivalents for the purpose of admission and transfer credit. Additional documentation may be required.
- Any review of transfer credit must be completed within one year of the date of admission.
- If English is not your first language, you must meet English language proficiency requirements.
- Admission is not guaranteed by the attainment of the minimum requirements.

In some cases, transfer credits awarded may not fit into your Undergraduate program. Contact your program Academic Advisor to find out how your transfer credits may fit into your program plan.
