Undergraduate Admissions
Transfer Students: Admission Requirements
Transfer students will be selected for admission on a competitive basis. Normally, a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 5.00 (C) will be required, however, a higher average may be required for some programs.
Transfer credit will be considered for students admitted from other accredited institutions for courses satisfactorily completed subject to the following conditions:
- Prospective transfer students must have attained the equivalent of a GPA of 5.00 (C) at their institution and must be eligible to re-register at their home institution. Students who may not register at the institution from which they wish to transfer will not be permitted to register at Wilfrid Laurier University.
- Transfer credit will be considered for all courses passed but the course grades will not be included in the student's cumulative GPA at Wilfrid Laurier University.
- Only courses taken at Wilfrid Laurier University will be included in the subsequent cumulative GPA.
- Transfer credit will not be held for a given course of the major subject where a grade of less than 4.0 (C-) has been attained.
- All requirements for the degree, including residence requirements, must be met.
- Students applying to complete another undergraduate degree should also review the section Requirements for Additional Undergraduate Degrees, in the University Regulations chapter.
- Transfer students will receive, at most, one opportunity to clear academic probation.
