Faculty of Education

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.

SUNTEP (Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program) - complete the 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 in place of transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution.

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.

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.
