Application Information

Domestic Ontario high school applicants to the faculty linked from this programme

  • If you are currently completing your Grade 12 year you can apply as a high school student. Your application will be assessed for early conditional admission to your program of choice. This allows students who are still in grade 12 to be conditionally admitted using grade 11 and any grade 12 courses they have completed. Students who are granted early conditional admission are still required to meet the final admission requirements for their program/faculty at the time of graduation. If you have graduated from high school or completed secondary-level standing, and have not attended any post-secondary institutions, you are also considered a high school student. Your application will be assessed based on high school admission requirements listed below. When applying during the final year of high school, students can provide an interim grade report and a schedule of current/planned courses via email, fax, or mail. This can be sent directly to the Enrolment Services office from the student or guidance counsellor. This interim/unofficial grade report is used for the early conditional admission calculation. Official high school final transcripts must be submitted following graduation and by all those applying who have completed high school. This official document is used for the final admission average calculation. Find information on how to order your official transcripts . Official transcripts must come to the University of Regina directly from the issuing institution (Ministry of Education, school board office, etc.) in your province or country (if other than Canada). English Language Proficiency The language of instruction at the University of Regina is English. All applicants to the University of Regina must therefore demonstrate an appropriate level of proficiency in the English language, unless they are entering the Baccalaureate en education program, in which case they must meet the French language proficiency requirement. Find information on English language proficiency requirements here.

Application Information

Domestic university or college transfer applicants to the faculty linked from this programme

  • If you have previously attended another recognized college, university, or technical institute, you are considered a college/university transfer student. Post-secondary transfer admission averages are calculated using the Admissions Grade Point Average (AGPA). The AGPA is calculated by combining recognized academic post-secondary courses and attempted U of R courses. Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program ( SUNTEP ) and Northern Saskatchewan Indigenous Teacher Education Program ( NSITEP ) require applicants to submit their application form through Gabriel Dumont Institute . If you are selected for the program, you will be asked to fill out a University of Regina application as well. Official college/university transcripts must be sent directly from the post-secondary institution(s) to Enrolment Services at the U of R. We accept mailed and e-mailed transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution(s). We also accept electronic transcripts delivered via vendors authorized by the sending institution such as Parchment, Digitary (MyCreds), National Student Clearinghouse, and others. Finally, we accept transcripts from online verification portals that have secure log in portals such as International Baccalaureate and Cambridge Exams. We will also accept official World Education Services (WES) International Credential Advantage Package ( ICAP ) assessments. When you are completing the request, you will choose "University of Regina" and "Office of Undergraduate Admissions" as the "Recipient", which can be sent either by mail or electronically. All documents that are supplied in support of applications for admission become the property of the University of Regina and will not be forwarded to another institution. English Language Proficiency The language of instruction for most programs at the University of Regina is English. All applicants to the University of Regina must therefore demonstrate an appropriate level of proficiency in the English language, unless they are entering the Baccaleaureate en education program, in which case they must meet the French language proficiency requirement. Find information on English language proficiency requirements here.

Domestic university or college transfer applicants to the faculty linked from this programme

  • Applicants who have attempted 15 credit hours or more of approved post-secondary education must have a minimum AGPA of 65% on the most recent 30 credit hours of post-secondary courses attempted. Note: If applicants do not have an AGPA of 65% on the last 30 credit hours of post-secondary courses attempted, we will look at their entire post-secondary record. If applicants have attempted fewer than 15 credit hours, their admission will be based on high school admission requirements. Applicants who have been required to withdraw from a prior institution may be required to petition for admission. For more information, visit the petitioning for admission page .
