Applicants who have previously attended another post-secondary institution can be considered for fall entry. Winter and summer entry is also available for select programs. Applicants are considered as 'Advanced Standing' if they will receive 2.00 or more transfer credits upon admission. Applicants to the University must indicate their intended program and major of interest at the point of application. An offer of admission applies to both the degree program and major area of study specified in the offer.

Because enrolment in certain courses is limited by the availability of resources, the University cannot guarantee that all students wishing to take a particular specialization will be accommodated. Applicants wishing to enrol in courses offered in the distance only mode for personal interest or for professional development should contact the Open Learning and Educational Support for further information and to obtain the appropriate application form.
