Admissions - Graduate Studies - Deadline dates

To be admitted, students should normally hold an appropriate bachelor's degree at the Honours level, or its equivalent, with at least second class standing (70% average of all courses)*. Students with a general degree will need to complete a full qualifying year beyond the general degree before being considered. To enter a qualifying year, students should have at least a second-class standing in their major subject. Successful completion of courses during a qualifying year does not ensure automatic admission to a graduate program, nor does meeting minimum requirements.  * Individual departments may require a higher average.

Transcripts
Applicants to Second-entry (graduate or undergraduate) level university programs, must arrange to have official transcripts  sent directly to the Office of Admissions and must be received by the application deadline. For transcripts to be considered "official", they must be sent directly from the Registrar’s Office to our Admissions Office, be imprinted with the school’s seal and/or bear the appropriate signature. We will not use opened transcripts sent by the candidates. We do not accept faxed transcripts.

Foreign Transcripts
Applicants who have attended post-secondary institutions outside North America, must have their foreign transcripts and diplomas assessed by World Education Services (WES): www.wes.org/ca We require a WES Credential Evaluation Report, including a Course-by-Course Analysis. WES evaluations must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions, and must be received by the application deadline.
