Other-province and international qualification

Applicants with Canadian out-of-province or international educational credentials

Admission requirements for Canadian and international students can be found online. https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future-student/admissions-req.html a. Out-of-Province Canadian High School Applicants Candidates must present standing in Grade 12 English and meet the graduation requirements according to their home province. https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future-student/requirements/out- of-province-hs-students.html b. International Applicants Candidates will be considered for admission to the University on an individual basis. Meeting the minimum academic requirement does not guarantee admission. The University reserves the right to set a level of academic proficiency to determine acceptance. https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future-student/international/how- to-apply.html

English-language evidence

Applicants whose first or primary language is not English

The language of instruction at The University of Winnipeg is English. That means you must have a level of ability in English that allows you to participate in all aspects of university study, including lectures, reading, writing, and discussion. If English is not your first/primary language, you must show you are ready to study here by meeting the English Language Requirements of the University. Students will not be admitted until this requirement has been met, at the discretion of the Admissions Office. https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future-student/international/lang- req.html

Transfer and advanced-standing rules

Applicants transferring postsecondary credit, or presenting AP/IB results

Students who have been pursuing post-secondary studies at another institution may apply for admission to the University, seeking to complete the work for a first Bachelor’s degree; such applicants must be students in good standing at the former institution. Students seeking a second Bachelor’s degree should refer to Degree and Major Requirements. Applicants seeking admission with transfer credit are advised that the courses transferred, together with those they subsequently take at The University of Winnipeg, must meet the general and specific requirements of the Faculty and department in which they choose to major. Applicants should not assume that they will complete the degree with a number of credit hours equal to the difference between total hours required for the degree and transferred hours. Credits that are transferred from institutions outside of Canada (excluding the USA) or non-AUCC institutions will be transferred in a “S” grades and will not count toward the overall grade point average of the student. a. Other Institutions Students wishing to have credits from another institution assessed for credit toward their degree at the University must disclose this on their application for admission and provide the necessary information like course descriptions within four months of being admitted. Documentation received after the four-month period will not be evaluated and no credit will be granted. Failure to disclose post- secondary studies can result in cancellation of acceptance or dismissal from the University. See website: https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future- student/requirements/transfer.html b. International Baccalaureate Program Credit or advanced standing is granted in specific subject areas for Higher Level and some Standard Level courses, provided a minimum score of 4 has been attained. An official copy of the International Baccalaureate results must be forwarded to the Admissions Office, or a request may be submitted to IB to enable the University to access official results electronically. Accepting credit is voluntary and students may elect to decline the credit or advanced standing. For complete details visit https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future-student/requirements/ap- and-ib-info.html c. Advanced Placement Program (College Board) Credit or advanced standing is granted in specific subject areas on the basis of Advanced Placement (College Board) examinations provided a minimum score of 3 has been attained (in some cases a score of 4 is required). An official mark statement from the College Board must be forwarded to the Admissions Office. Students may elect to decline the credit or advanced standing. For complete details visit https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/future- student/requirements/ap-and-ib-info.html
