Applicant pathways

Published undergraduate credential and entry

  • Exact degree, regular duration and current calendar structure verified.
  • The official current page explicitly permits direct first-year entry. Exact BEng academic entrance subjects remain under review; diploma rules have not been silently applied.

Resource Engineering first-year and diploma ladder routes

Applicants to the exact Bachelor of Engineering in Resource Engineering

  • The exact degree page permits first-year entry or year 3 after completion of the Diploma in Engineering. It also invites applicants completing or holding an Engineering diploma at another university to seek transfer assessment.
  • An external diploma holder may be able to transfer; acceptance and year placement are not automatic. The source links the institutional transfer assessment, and no exact approved-diploma inventory or universal external equivalence is certified here.
smu resource degree · official applicant policy
Engineering transfer record and academic-standing review

Applicants with college/university study seeking Resource Engineering transfer assessment

  • The linked transfer framework requires good academic standing and official records from all prior institutions, with secondary transcripts and course outlines when required. Where English is not the first language, accepted proficiency evidence is separately required. Course equivalence is at the Dean’s discretion.
  • After required withdrawal elsewhere, the public framework excludes consideration for 12 months after dismissal and does not promise admission thereafter. The generic Arts/Commerce/Science subject examples do not establish Resource Engineering prerequisites. Exact engineering selection, credential equivalents and numeric minima remain under review.

Published core subjects and minimum

High-school admission to Bachelor of Engineering

  • The 2026–27 calendar lists this degree explicitly. The five-course admission average is at least 70%, with no individual course below 60%.
  • Required subjects: English; Pre-calculus Mathematics; Chemistry; Any other Science, with Physics recommended; One additional academic university-preparatory course.
  • Minimum requirements do not create a right to admission or readmission. Individual equivalencies and any programme-specific offer conditions remain with Admissions.
  • The calendar publishes September, January, May and July admission terms, with September/January international intakes; it does not guarantee every programme is open at every intake.

BEng versus regional Diploma labels

Resource Engineering degree applicants

  • The current formal calendar explicitly binds Bachelor of Engineering and Diploma in Engineering to the same core subject/minimum rule. Many regional web panels still label only the Diploma.
  • Those regional Diploma panels are not relabelled as independently published Resource Engineering degree profiles. Obtain confirmation of the exact provincial/foreign equivalents for this degree.
  • The programme page distinguishes the Resource Engineering BEng from a two-year Diploma exit and a later application to Dalhousie. Admission to a Dalhousie discipline after the Diploma is not automatic.

Early admission and Quebec CEGEP

Applicants with in-progress secondary study or Quebec CEGEP

  • Early assessment may use a corresponding Grade 11 result for a required Grade 12 course still in progress. Applicants must have completed Grade 11, be registered in Grade 12 and meet the five-course 70% threshold as determined by Admissions.
  • The calendar requires one CEGEP year and the degree’s core subjects. The Canadian page says a two-year academic CEGEP diploma at least 70% in appropriate subjects may receive up to 30 credit hours; actual assessment remains separate.

Regional accepted-elective sheets and conflicts

Applicants selecting provincial academic elective subjects

  • The Canadian hub links complete Nova Scotia, NB anglophone/francophone and PEI accepted-course lists. A course already used as a prerequisite cannot also fill an elective slot in the linked NB sheets; PEI permits at most one of its listed Open courses.
  • The NB linked sheets require two Grade 12 sciences for Science, while the main current web and calendar list one. The linked NB Engineering sheets require Physics, whereas the main core normally recommends Physics as the other science. Confirm the applicable profile; the older linked sheets are not silently substituted for current degree requirements.
  • The Nova Scotia list contains explicit Yes/No acceptance by course and credit type, including exceptions among Open courses and a Grade 11 co-op row; these do not imply that any unlisted or lower-level course satisfies a Grade 12 prerequisite.

Access admission while upgrading

Applicants using the calendar’s conditional Access Pathway

  • The calendar explicitly permits Bachelor of Engineering or Diploma applicants with Grade 11 Chemistry but missing Grade 12 Chemistry to be considered conditionally on completing Grade 12 Chemistry in first year.
  • Minimum admission grades still apply. Access is not automatic admission without prerequisites; it is a published conditional pathway.

International curricula and qualification chart

Applicants presenting non-Canadian secondary credentials

  • Meet the degree’s core subjects and the applicable native curriculum/country credential and grade requirements. The calendar allows a senior native-language course instead of Grade 12 English for international applicants, while English-language proficiency remains required separately.
  • The current international page permits British GCSE/IGCSE O-Level entry or mixed O/A-Level results; the formal calendar says five subjects with two at Advanced Level. This is a published policy conflict, not a combined seven-subject rule.
  • The calendar requests SAT results for American-system applicants, while the current international web profile gives C (70%) or higher college-preparatory subjects without a test-score rule. Confirm the applicable assessment.
  • The international page retains a 2021 CBSE-examination-cancellation accommodation. That historical contingency is not presented as a current intake waiver.
  • The country table includes historical qualification names, percentages on native scales and occasional anomalies, such as Mozambique 10/20 average with no mark below 8/10 and Netherlands HAVO wording with a VWO English exemption. These are attributed published rows, not independent equivalency or grade-conversion determinations.

International Baccalaureate Diploma and individual courses

IBDP and IB certificate applicants

  • Full IB Diploma admission: total/predicted score at least 24, with required subjects at least 3. The dedicated IB page describes 24/42 anticipated/projected points.
  • The degree’s core subjects apply; IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation at SL or HL are listed for Science, Commerce and Engineering. The international panel explicitly lists Arts/BES English plus four other SL/HL subjects.
  • The dedicated current policy says full IBDP students receive at least 36 and up to 42 advanced credit hours, including up to 12 for at least two IB Core points. Individual-course applicants require a high-school diploma/leaving certificate, predicted required scores at least 3 and final HL/SL scores at least 3 for possible credit, maximum 30 credit hours.
  • The international summary still says HL certificate grades 5–7, while the dedicated policy and calendar permit 3+. Mathematics course equivalencies in both current charts list distinct awards for grades 4–5 and 6+, with no explicit mathematics grade-3 equivalent. Confirm actual credit rather than applying the broad grade-3 statement to a specific named course.
  • IB English HL or SL at least 3 satisfies the dedicated policy’s English proficiency requirement. Course-specific equivalence and degree applicability remain assessed by the university.
Saint Mary’s dedicated IB admission and recognition policy
IB Career-related Programme

IBCP applicants

  • Canadian high-school IBCP: two HL or SL courses each at least 3; description of Career-Related Study and its Learning Portfolio; at least five combined IB/Grade 12 academic courses including degree prerequisites; provincial diploma; individual assessment.
  • Non-Canadian IBCP: one HL course at least 3 plus two additional HL or SL courses at least 3, Career-Related Study description/Learning Portfolio and degree prerequisites; individual assessment.
  • Recognition policy: up to 18 credit hours for the required IB courses, up to 6 for Career-Related Study and up to 6 for successful Core; additional IB courses may add credit, total not above 42. The final award depends on programme applicability.
Saint Mary’s dedicated IB admission and recognition policy
Advanced Placement and AP Capstone

AP applicants

  • AP courses may combine with provincial/state/national courses to meet the degree’s subject requirements. Final AP exam scores at least 3 may receive advanced credit, up to 30 credit hours for individual courses.
  • The university accepts AP Capstone as an admission basis to any undergraduate degree when each component is at least 3: AP Seminar, AP Research and four AP exams selected for the faculty/degree subjects. Up to 36 advanced credit hours are available under the published Capstone policy.
  • No AP credit is awarded on interim, predicted or mock school results. Students may decline credit; a specific equivalent or unlisted subject remains individually assessed.
Saint Mary’s AP and AP Capstone admission/recognition
Other published advanced recognition

Applicants presenting GCE, CAPE, ABRSM, French or HSM qualifications

  • Approved GCE A-Level grades A/B/C may receive advanced credit, with the calendar maximum 18. CAPE Unit 2 final I/II/III may receive recognition; the linked October 2017 CAPE sheet requires completion and official transcripts of both units, no predicted/mock credit and a maximum subject-specific award determined by the chart.
  • ABRSM Practical Music, Music Performance or Music Theory grade 6 or higher is published as eligible for 3 elective credit hours. This is recognition of a qualification, not admission to a music degree.
  • The advanced-credit charts publish separate French recognition for IB, recent DELF/DALF, French-language secondary/CEGEP and Nova Scotia Oral Proficiency Interview evidence. French course registration requires placement testing.
  • The dedicated IB and combined advanced-credit pages disagree on several exact equivalents. For example, combined-chart Philosophy lists PHYS courses, whereas the dedicated IB page lists PHIL courses; English B codes also differ. No conflicting table equivalent is copied into this programme’s course inventory.
  • Nova Scotia HSM certificates: any bachelor’s degree, 6 elective credit hours per completed certificate, maximum 12; the current page names Arts, Digital Innovation and Technology, Early Childhood Education, Health and Wellness and Skilled Trades certificates.
Saint Mary’s published advanced-credit recognition charts
Post-secondary transfer admission

Applicants with prior university/college enrolment

  • Be in good academic standing with a minimum C average and meet the receiving degree’s core subjects. Higher-level equivalent post-secondary courses may satisfy those subjects.
  • Submit official records from every institution attended; non-Canadian courses need detailed syllabi/course outlines for advanced-standing review. Failure to disclose prior attendance may lead to dismissal.
  • Applicants required to withdraw elsewhere are not considered for 12 months after dismissal; later admission is not automatic. The calendar normally excludes applicants who are not eligible to return to their former institution.
  • For Commerce/Science applicants with a C average but missing core subjects, the transfer page describes possible BA entry and later faculty change after required upgrading, not automatic direct entry to the preferred degree.
Saint Mary’s post-secondary transfer applicants
Advanced standing and prior learning

Admitted students requesting recognized prior learning

  • Formal Regulation 18 requires at least 50% of the degree/diploma/certificate and at least 50% of the major/honours/concentration at Saint Mary’s. The transfer FAQ additionally names minors and normally caps transferred credits at 60; confirm programme-specific applicability, especially the 144-credit BEng.
  • An advanced-standing request must be made within one year of first registration. Third/fourth-year and older-than-ten-year coursework are individually assessed. Changing faculty triggers reassessment; accepted credit is not automatically applicable to a particular major.
  • PLAR requires documented non-institutional learning comparable in scope to university courses, approval by the relevant academic unit and Dean; it does not award credit merely for experience.
  • Transfer credit grades appear as TR and do not enter the Saint Mary’s GPA. A provisional assessment based on in-progress courses changes when final results arrive.
Saint Mary’s 2026–27 Regulation 18, advanced standing and PLAR
Named transfer pathways

Applicants presenting credentials in the published articulation index

  • Published possible pathways include Bermuda College Business Administration to BComm; College of the North Atlantic Community Leadership Development to BA; Holland College Bioscience/Wildlife/Environmental Applied Science to BSc and Business Administration to BComm; NBCC Business Administration/Business Fundamentals to BComm; and named NSCC programmes to BA, BSc, BComm or BES.
  • The native page specifically requires at least 70% overall for the named Holland Business Administration/Environmental Applied Science and NBCC Business Administration/Business Fundamentals routes. The exact completed credential and receiving programme determine the table; a school name alone is insufficient.
  • Examples of published caps are up to 60 credits for the named Bermuda BComm/CNA BA and many business/social/environment pathways, and up to 45 for Holland Bioscience/Wildlife BSc. One NBCC business table is separately capped at 30. Multiple-course bundles and CPA-specific retaking/advising exceptions apply.
  • The full published tables remain the authority for actual equivalents and applicable majors. This common policy review does not promise all table credits to every displayed degree or reinterpret course equivalents as required degree courses.
Saint Mary’s published transfer agreements and credential/course tables
Mature admission and statement

Applicants seeking the mature route

  • Be at least 22, normally out of high school at least five years, and not admissible through the ordinary high-school/transfer category. The current page directs applicants with university/college course enrolment, excluding upgrading, to Transfer.
  • Demonstrate capacity for university study through upgrading, work or community service and meet the degree’s minimum core subjects. The calendar’s Engineering core explicitly applies to BEng; the mature regional page still labels the Diploma.
  • Provide high-school/upgrading records and a personal statement no longer than one page explaining readiness, learning since school, upgrading, work/volunteering and relevant skills. An interview or additional information may be requested; it is not stated as universal for regular high-school applicants.
Saint Mary’s mature applicants and personal statement
Returning, reactivation and readmission

Former Saint Mary’s students

  • If studies were interrupted, reapply. If another institution was attended after leaving, apply as Transfer. The current page permits possible reactivation after less than four years away when returning to the same programme; four or more years or a different programme is Readmission.
  • The calendar says students not enrolled in the previous academic year must reapply. Regulation 8 separately applies current curriculum rules after five or more years away, academic dismissal or programme transfer; that five-year curriculum rule is distinct from the webpage’s four-year status rule.
  • Provide activities since last enrolment and requested documents. Dean/readmission conditions may be binding; readmission after dismissal can place the student on probation and is not automatic.
Saint Mary’s former students, reactivation and readmission
Open Studies and upgrading

Course-only applicants, not admission to this degree

  • Open Studies is for courses without entering a programme, subject to prerequisites and at most 30 credit hours before formal degree admission is required. The current page requires a Letter of Intent on academic background, course/university reasons, experience, skills and goals.
  • Upgrading is for holders of degrees or professional certificates taking further courses, normally at most 30 credit hours; a separate application is required for each academic year or spring/summer term. It is not the category for a new complete degree.
  • UPrep offers asynchronous preparatory courses for missing Grade 12 requirements or grade improvement. Completing upgrading does not waive the receiving degree’s admission rules.
Saint Mary’s 2026–27 recruitment and undergraduate admissions, including BEng
Auditing and visiting enrolment

Non-degree/course-only applicants

  • Auditing requires application, course prerequisites and normal tuition, without assignments/evaluations or earned credit applicable to the degree.
  • Visiting applicants seek credit returned to their home institution. The current page accepts a transcript or Letter of Permission, while the calendar requires the Letter of Permission to be filed; arrange home-institution approval before relying on transferability.
  • The current visiting page does not require official English test proof, but expects the university’s proficiency level; without test results it asks for a faculty/international-office statement. This exception does not apply to ordinary degree admission.
  • Halifax visiting students’ grades are normally sent home automatically; other students must request the transcript. A visiting place does not confer admission to the displayed degree.
Saint Mary’s visiting university students
Internal faculty changes and additional degrees

Current students or previous bachelor’s degree holders

  • Changing faculty requires receiving-Dean approval and current entry criteria; it is not automatic and does not remove academic probation.
  • Additional bachelor’s degrees require a different major/concentration and full receiving-degree requirements. At least half of the additional degree and major must be completed at Saint Mary’s; if the first degree was earned there, at least 30 further Saint Mary’s credits are required.
  • Two simultaneous degrees in separate faculties require both Deans’ approval, both complete sets of requirements and at least 150 credit hours. Graduating with only one drops the other; returning for it requires a new admission application.
Saint Mary’s 2026–27 Regulation 22, additional undergraduate degrees
Approved outside courses

Saint Mary’s students using a Letter of Permission

  • Obtain receiving-Dean approval before taking outside study; permission is not retroactive. Good standing, course syllabi and at least one completed Saint Mary’s term are required.
  • Normally no more than 15 credit hours on Letters of Permission, except approved exchanges or Dean-authorized circumstances, while residency rules remain. Official outside transcripts and programme-specific minimum grades still apply.
Saint Mary’s 2026–27 Regulation 19, outside study permission
English proficiency

Applicants requiring undergraduate English evidence

  • IELTS Academic or listed Online Indicator 6.5 overall, no band below 6.0; Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176, no component below 169; CAEL 60, no component below 50; PTE at least 58; Trinity ISE at least 96 overall, each skill at least 90.
  • For TOEFL taken after January 2026, Listening at least 4.5 and every other band at least 4.0. For January 2026 or earlier, paper TOEFL at least 550 or iBT at least 83 with every band at least 20.
  • The current English webpage says Duolingo 115 overall with subscores at least 95; the 2026–27 calendar says 120 with bands at least 95. This publication conflict needs confirmation.
  • Published alternatives include English-medium secondary graduation, three years in English-medium Canadian/British/American-patterned secondary schooling, or a recognized Languages Canada university-preparatory programme. Dedicated IB English at least 3 and curriculum/country-specific exemptions are separately published.
  • Recognized preparatory providers on the page are ALCC, ACLA, CLLC, HLIC, ILI and OICC; it states six advanced credit hours for completion of a recognized university-preparatory English programme. Do not assume an unlisted school or incomplete course qualifies.

Elective choices
  • The 144-credit BEng comprises 69 lower-division credits,54 upper-division core credits (including 6 elective credits at 3000 level or above), and 21 credits in one chosen technical option. Choosing an option does not make its required courses unrestricted electives.
  • The 6 upper-division elective credits are common to both options. Diploma-to-other-university routes can require different courses; consult Science Advising.
  • The common upper-division elective menu includes any 3000- or 4000-level EGNE course and designated courses in chemistry, environmental science and earth science.
Study routes
  • Direct first-year entry to the four-year SMU BEng, or entry to year 3 after an Engineering Diploma. Mining and Renewable Energy are degree options, with independent application choices not inferred.
  • The separate Diploma-to-Dalhousie transfer route is not automatic; academic standing and discipline capacity affect admission. SMU BEng and Dalhousie BEng awarding routes remain distinct.
