Faculty of Business

Application Information +

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.

Official high school transcripts may also be required to determine that you have completed the relevant pre-requisites. If your high school studies were completed in Canada, you can find information on how to order official transcripts from your home province here. Official transcripts must come to the University of Regina directly from the issuing institution (Ministry of Education, school board office, etc.) in your province.

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 +

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.

Internal Transfer (Current or Returning University of Regina students) who have attempted 15 credit hours or more at the U of R must have a minimum UGPA of 65% on their U of R courses.

Applicants must also have completed the required high school admission courses or post-secondary equivalents, as below:

In cases where the total of attempted post-secondary credit hours is less than 15, applicants will be assessed for admission on the basis of high school admission requirements.

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.

Business Professional Category: Applicants who require Business Administration courses for completion of a professional designation (CPA, CIM, etc.) may choose the Faculty of Business Administration on either the application for admission for new students, or the re-admission for returning students application. The following admission documents may be emailed separately to enrolment.services@uregina.ca: a letter from the professional organization outlining the courses they need to complete, and if previous studies were not completed at the U of R, demonstration of English language proficiency (see ELP requirements here: https://www.uregina.ca/admissions/undergraduate/elp.html). Students in the non-degree Business Professional category cannot obtain a University of Regina certificate, diploma, or degree, or complete courses other than the ones listed on the letter from the professional organization.
