University Transfer Admission Guidelines
Degree-level courses completed at an accredited Canadian university, or equivalent accredited institution as determined by Brock University will be recognized for admission and transfer credit.
- Admission consideration is primarily based on your most recent undergraduate university studies, however, we will review your overall academic record for extra evaluation purposes.
- Applicants who have completed at least one full-time semester of university study with an overall average of 60% are eligible for general admission as a university transfer student.
- Some programs may require higher admission averages or prerequisites. View our Admission Criteria website for details.
- Applicants must be in good academic standing at all previously attended institutions.
- Course prerequisites must be met at the Grade 12 university-preparatory level (or equivalent) for all applicants.
- Course 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.
- In some cases, transfer credits awarded may not fit into your Undergraduate program plan. Contact your Academic Advisor.
- Transfer credit will not be issued for unreported studies.
- Students pursuing a second or subsequent degree are subject to specific policies and requirements.
