• We will begin to issue a select number of offers in December and will continue to make offers of admission through to May. Scholarship and co-op offers will accompany offers of admission.
• A select number of offers are issued in December and are based on a combination of Grade 11 and Grade 12 results. To be eligible for an early offer, you must have 1 final Grade 12 result at the 4U/M level and 5 Grade 11 U/M level credits. Averages are in the high 80s or 90s.
• The first major round of admission offers to Ontario applicants is in February. Admission averages are calculated using a minimum 3 first-semester 4U/M finals, with registration in 3 additional 4U/M credits, including prerequisites. If you are in a non-semestered school, we will use 6 midterm grades at the 4U/M level, including prerequisites.
• The final round of admission offers happens in May. If you do not receive an offer in February, or if you are still in studies and received an alternate program offer, we will automatically reassess you for eligibility for your preferred program in May. We will continue to make offers based on final grades, as well as summer school grades, provided space in programs is available.
• You can expect to receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest choice listed for Brock is considered first when more than 1 Brock program is indicated on your application. If you are not eligible for the first choice, consideration will be given to subsequent choices in the order of preference you indicated. If you apply to only 1 Brock program and do not qualify, in most cases, consideration will be given for an alternative and related program. In most cases if you apply for, but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.
• Our program is founded on practical experience, which includes substantial clinical hours in a variety of different settings. Students also gain experience in our state-of-the-art Nursing Simulation Labs, where patient simulators are programmed to exhibit the physical responses of patients in various situations, mimicking real-life clinical and emergency situations in a safe learning environment. You’ll acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities to prepare you for professional nursing practice within the context of a changing health-care system.

Ontario OSSD students taking IB; Brock undergraduate degree entry

• If you complete IB and graduate with an OSSD, your courses and IB results are translated to equivalent Ontario courses and grades. Your school forwards them through OUAC.
• Meet your program-specific Ontario prerequisites. The separately published full-IB curriculum requirements are not an Ontario percentage conversion.

Applicants completing secondary education outside Canada

• Present the secondary credential appropriate for university entrance in the home country, an academically rigorous final year, and the chosen programme’s university-preparatory senior subjects. Admissions may request course outlines to determine the prerequisite level; native grade and English-proficiency requirements remain separate.
• Completed applicants supply final results from the institution/examination board. In-progress applicants supply final results to date plus progress or predicted grades; Brock may require school progress grades instead of predictions. Final official documents must come from the issuer to retain an offer.

International applicants studying Ontario or another Canadian provincial curriculum

• An Ontario curriculum taught in Canada or abroad follows the same academic requirements as Ontario applicants: OSSD and six4U/M credits including programme prerequisites; co-op credits are excluded. English proficiency must still be satisfied.
• International applicants studying another Canadian provincial curriculum follow that province’s secondary diploma and senior-course package. Nationality alone does not change the curriculum route. The linked province-specific equivalencies remain separately under review.

Canadian citizens or permanent residents with home-based secondary preparation

• Category A completes OSSD-equivalent schooling and the final year through an Ontario Ministry-inspected school authorized to grant OSSD credit, with six4U/M credits including prerequisites. Equivalent out-of-province preparation receives equal consideration. Evidence includes four years of secondary schooling, academic/prerequisite requirements and40 community-service hours completed or in progress.
• Category B covers other home-school applicants and is assessed individually. Admission is normally limited to Humanities, Social Sciences or Sciences General Studies; declaration of a particular major can be requested after first year. This is not direct entry to every named degree in the catalogue.

College/university transfer applicants whose recent postsecondary record is not admissible

• Brock first assesses recent postsecondary study and then automatically reviews secondary credentials for possible Fresh Start consideration. Fresh Start is unavailable for competitive programmes and subsequent degrees.
• A Fresh Start entrant cannot receive transfer credit for the previous postsecondary studies, either at admission or later. Applicants seeking that credit must discuss other routes with Admissions; this is not a guaranteed alternative offer.

Applicants who do not meet regular undergraduate admission requirements

• Brock may assess competencies from prior learning through a comprehensive learning portfolio, with guidance during the application/portfolio process. Admitted PLAR applicants may study full-time only in the approved undergraduate programme. Prior-learning credit recognition is a separate assessment; no universal programme access or credit award is promised.

Returning Brock students whose previous registration/admission status must be assessed

• A Brock student who studied elsewhere after leaving must reapply, except for a Brock-approved exchange, double degree, collaboration or letter of permission. The same page has inconsistent wording about the five-year re-registration boundary; no automatic decision on that boundary is supplied.
• A Brock graduate seeking another Brock degree normally uses the student-portal second-degree process. Nursing is expressly different and uses OUAC; its academic requirements and limited places remain programme-specific.
