Post-Secondary Admission Requirements +

Pre-Social Work and Indigenous Social Work Qualifying:

Applicants who have attempted 15 credit hours or more of approved post-secondary education must have a minimum AGPA of 70% on the most recent 30 credit hours of post-secondary courses attempted. Applicants may also be admitted on the basis of completion of a bachelor’s degree.

If applicants have attempted fewer than 15 credit hours, their admission will be based on high school admission requirements.

Bachelor of Social Work and Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work:
A minimum AGPA of 70% is required using the most recent 30 credit hours of approved courses. This includes courses from the University of Regina and other recognized post-secondary institutions attended, and is not limited to successfully completed courses. U of R applicants must also have a minimum UGPA of 60%.

Additional Information for Social Work +

Additional Requirements for Bachelor of Social Work:

Students applying for conditional admission who have not yet attained 30 credit hours will have their BSW Admission GPA calculated using all post-secondary courses completed by the application deadline of January 15th. Additionally, English 100, Indigenous Studies 100, Psychology 101, Sociology 100, and Social Work 100 (or equivalent from other recognized institutions) must be completed (and transcripts must be received by January 15th if completed at another institution). Conditionally admitted applicants must maintain a 70% GPA for full admission; therefore, the BSW Admission GPA will be re-calculated at the end of the Winter term using the applicant’s most recent 30 credit hours. Applicants to the BSW must have human service experience, and current U of R students must also have a minimum UGPA of 60%. Admission to the BSW is competitive.
