Undergraduate Admissions
Applicants who do not possess the necessary minimum requirements for admission to the university and have not attended any post-secondary institutions may be considered for admission as adult students. Adult students are normally considered for admission to part-time studies.
Adult students may be considered for admission if they meet either of the following conditions:
Applicants are encouraged and in some cases may be required to submit a personal assessment letter outlining the following:
Applicants are encouraged to describe any employment experiences, leisure activities or volunteer work/community service that demonstrates good citizenship and leadership qualities.
The university will admit only those applicants who, in the opinion of the admissions committee, are adequately prepared on the basis of previous academic training and/or life-skill experience to undertake university courses. Adult students are urged to avail themselves of the university's services (academic counselling, study-skills counselling, personal counselling and career counselling).
Adult students admitted to part-time studies may initially take courses without being registered in a specific degree or diploma program. For registration in a specific program, the student's performance is subject to a successful review by the appropriate admissions committee. During the initial period of assessment, adult students registered in part-time studies may register in a maximum of two 0.5-credit courses or the equivalent in a term.
In order to continue registration at the university, all students must attain either of the following:
If students have a cumulative GPA of less than 4.00 (C-) but not less than 2.00 (D) after the completion of the first 4.0 credits, they will be allowed to take 2.0 additional credits or equivalent to clear academic probation. If they fail to achieve a GPA of 5.00 (C) based on these 2.0 credits, they will be required to withdraw from the university.
Adult students in part-time studies, who wish to transfer into full-time studies, will require a higher academic standing than noted above. The application to transfer is available from the Office of the Registrar.
If approved, the adult student must register in a specific degree or diploma program and must adhere to the same regulations that apply to regular students.
The university may consider adult applicants for full-time studies, who in the opinion of the admissions committee, are adequately prepared for full-time studies. Such applicants are encouraged to contact the Admissions Office for more information. If approved, the adult student must register in a specific degree or diploma program and must adhere to the same regulations that apply to regular students.
Admission Condition(s): Students who have been admitted to the university as full-time students with an admission deficiency must remove this condition within one year of the date of the first registration with the university.
