College Transfer Students

College Transfer Admission Guidelines

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Course prerequisites must be met at the Grade 12 university-preparatory level (or equivalent). Prerequisites may be considered from post-secondary studies. Course outlines/syllabi may be required.
  • Brock University will determine the course-to-course equivalents for the purpose of admission and transfer credit. Course outlines/syllabi may be required.
  • Any review of transfer credit must be completed within one year of the date of admission.
  • Admission is not guaranteed by the attainment of the minimum requirements.
  • In some cases, transfer credits awarded may not fit into your Undergraduate program plan. Speak with your Academic Advisor.
