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. Your application will be assessed based on the Early Conditional Admission Requirements listed below, and then after graduation, you will be required to meet the Final Admission Requirements listed below. 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 on he FInal Admission Requirement 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.

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. 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 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. Find information on English language proficiency requirements here.

Post-Secondary Admission Requirements

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 60% on the most recent 30 credit hours of post-secondary courses attempted. Note: If applicants do not have an AGPA of 60% 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 .

Domestic external postsecondary transfer

Domestic transfer applicants to Energy Systems Engineering through Engineering and Applied Science; exact programme exceptions are separate.

At least 15 attempted approved postsecondary credit hours: minimum AGPA 60% over the most recent 30 attempted hours.
If that AGPA is below 60%, the entire postsecondary record is assessed.
Fewer than 15 attempted hours: assessed using secondary-school requirements.
Qualified applicants enter Engineering General; this does not guarantee admission directly to the named discipline.
More than 15 failed university hours or a core requirement failed after the repeat limit requires faculty permission.
Send official records from every prior postsecondary institution directly to admissions; English-language requirements apply.
A prior required withdrawal may require a petition for admission.

Current or returning U of R faculty transfer

Internal faculty-transfer applicants to Energy Systems Engineering, as scoped in the current calendar.

At least 15 attempted U of R hours: minimum UGPA 60% over the most recent 30 U of R hours.
With fewer than 15 U of R hours, use the most recent 30 combined previous postsecondary hours or secondary-school admission criteria.
If the most recent 30-hour AGPA is below 60%, the entire postsecondary record is assessed.
Qualified applicants enter Engineering General.

Mature category and published faculty limits

Applicants over 21 who do not meet secondary-school admission requirements

The public definition requires fewer than 15 to 24 university credit hours depending on the faculty. The exact faculty threshold is separate and has not been certified here. A personal statement normally explains achievements, life experience, goals and motivation.
The published mature-entry faculty/programme list is Arts, Education, Kinesiology and Health Studies, La Cite, Media Art and Performance, Social Work, Centre for Continuing Education, and Science through its Science Qualifying Program. Business and Engineering are not on that finite list. This does not grant direct entry to every named degree in a listed faculty; consult the faculty’s specific category and programme conditions.

Degree requirements

Grades and academic standing

University graduation minimum: UGPA 60.00%. Students must also meet the programme GPA and every faculty/programme graduation requirement; a faculty may impose higher standards.

Credits and degree requirements

Residency for four-year bachelor’s programmes: at least 25% of the credential, normally 30 or more credit hours, in University of Regina coursework. For three-year bachelor’s programmes, at least 30 University of Regina credit hours. A programme or faculty can require more.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition and transfer credit do not count towards the University of Regina residency minimum. These common regulations do not establish the selected programme’s total credit requirement.
