Admission Requirements General Requirements In selecting students for admission, Redeemer University College looks for the capacity and readiness for learning at the university level as well as a sincere interest in the mission and purpose of the institution. Each applicant should be acquainted with the mission, purpose, and statement of life and conduct at Redeemer University College as outlined in this calendar and in the application materials. In making formal application for admission, the applicant agrees to respect the institution’s mission and purpose and adhere to the Statement of Life and Conduct. Prospective students are requested to submit two recommendations, one academic and one personal. Recommendation forms are part of the application and should attest to the student’s personal readiness for post-secondary education in a Christian community. As part of the application, students are required to sign and affirm the Statement of Life and Conduct (see pages 17–18), and are required to complete two short essay questions. Students must submit a completed application, including all recommendations, official transcripts, a signed Statement of Life and Conduct, and the application fee before an admission decision is made. Applicants should be aware of the deadlines as outlined on page 16 of this calendar and as further described in the application materials. All transcripts must be presented in English, either translated directly by the school or through an approved third-party transcript translation/evaluation organization (i.e. World Education Services) at the student’s expense. Possession of the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee an offer of admission to Redeemer. Applicants may be asked to come for an interview with the university’s Admissions Committee when it is unclear from documentation that applicants are academically admissible, have a sincere interest in the mission and purpose of the institution, or would be well-served by the university. Limitations of facilities, personnel, or other considerations may also place restrictions on admission to the university and/or its specific programs. Admission to Undergraduate Degree Programs Admission From Ontario Secondary Schools Successful completion of an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, with a minimum average of 65% and the proper advanced level courses including six Grade 12 University (U) or University/College (M) level courses, one of which must be Grade 12 U English. Recommended Secondary School Preparation Although requirements of academic programs may vary in different secondary schools, certain courses are especially beneficial in preparing students for post-secondary education. Therefore, it is recommended that an Ontario student’s secondary school program include the following subjects at the university (U or M) level. English • Four courses recommended; Grade 12 U English is required. Second Language • Four courses, including Grade 12 U French recommended. History • Two courses, including one Grade 11 or 12 History at the U or M level. Mathematics • Four courses, including one Grade 12 U recommended. • Grade 12 U Calculus strongly recommended for any Bachelor of Science program. Science • Two courses, including one at the Grade 11 or 12 U or M level (one of biology and one of physics or chemistry). • Two Grade 12 U level science courses will reduce the science core by one. • Grade 12 U Biology and Grade 12 U Chemistry strongly recommended for any Bachelor of Science program. Social Science • Two courses, such as Geography, Society Challenge and Change, and other courses from the social sciences, at the Grade 11 or 12 U or M level. • The successful completion of this set of courses provides preferred preparation for the social science core requirements. For more information on the core requirements, see page 52–55. The secondary school preparation outlined above is designed to maximize program options for a student. Not completing the recommended preparation can reduce program options or limit elective options; however, students will normally still be able to complete the four-year general degree requirements within four years of full-time studies (10 three-credit courses a year). Students are encouraged to discuss the recommended secondary school preparation with their guidance office to ensure that their secondary school preparation is a good match with their interests and abilities while keeping in mind their planned program at Redeemer. Further information and assistance is also available from the Registrar’s Office at Redeemer. Canadian-educated students from outside of Ontario should refer to page 10. Ontario applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements for admission as set out in the admission policy may be considered for admission by the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis. In addition to providing the regular supporting documentation, applicants may be required to attend an interview with the Admissions Committee. 9
Requirements for Specific Majors Although Grade 12 U English is the only required course in secondary school preparation, students wishing to enter specific programs will be expected to complete the necessary prerequisites, as follows: Biology Business Chemistry Computer Science Education Environmental Studies French Health Sciences Kinesiology Mathematics Physical Education Physics •Grade 12 U Biology •Grade 12 U Chemistry •Grade 12 U Calculus and Vectors •Grade 12 U Advanced Functions (recommended) •Grade 12 U Mathematics of Data Management (recommended) •Grade 12 U Chemistry •Grade 12 U Calculus and Vectors •Grade 12 U Physics (recommended) •Grade 12 U Calculus and Vectors •Grade 12 U French (recommended) •Grade 12 U Biology (for the science emphasis option) •Grade 12 U Chemistry (four-year science major only) •Grade 12 U French •Grade 12 U Biology •Grade 12 U Chemistry •Grade 12 U Calculus and Vectors •Grade 12 U Biology •Grade 12 U Chemistry •Grade 12 U Advanced Functions (recommended) •Grade 12 U Calculus and Vectors •Grade 12 U Data Management or Geometry (recommended) •Grade 12 U Biology (recommended) •Grade 12 U Physics (recommended) •Grade 12 U Calculus and Vectors •Grade 12 U Physics (recommended) Students without these requirements are still eligible for admission but may not be able to pursue a specific concentration, or may find that their program at Redeemer will be extended. Admission From Other Canadian Provinces Applicants from Canadian provinces and territories, except Quebec, will be considered for admission on the presentation of Grade 12 senior matriculation, which is considered equivalent to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, with six Grade 12 U or M level courses. As a guideline, students from outside of Ontario can assume that Grade 12 university preparation courses will be treated as the equivalent to U or M level courses. Canadian-educated students from outside of Ontario will be assessed for admission based on the requirements for university admission in their home province. Applicants from Quebec are required to complete one year of general CEGEP to be eligible for admission to year one. Those with two years of general CEGEP are eligible for admission to year two, and eligible for a maximum of 10 transfer courses.

The TOEFL score must be submitted before an admission decision will be made. TOEFL results will be sent directly to Redeemer University College if the institution’s code number of 0907 is specified. Information on the TOEFL examination is available from the Educational Testing Service, Rosedale Road, Princeton, NJ 08541 USA (609) 921-9000 FAX: 609-734-5410 or www.ets.org MELAB 85 Michigan English Language Assessment Battery IELTS 6.5 International Language Testing System CAEL 70 Canadian Academic English Language Assessment Other Attended a secondary school (academic studies) in an English speaking country (i.e. Canada, U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, parts of South Africa) full-time for at least three years.

Resided in an English speaking country for at least four years immediately prior to applying to Redeemer. Upon admission, all applicants whose native language is not English must take Redeemer’s English Writing Diagnostic Examination to determine the appropriate first-year English courses in which they may enrol. Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Students may submit scores from an Advanced Placement Examination conducted by The College Board. Transfer credit will be considered for subject areas in which the AP exam score was 4 or 5. The awarding of transfer credit will be at the discretion of the Registrar’s Office in consultation with the appropriate academic department. Students wishing to have courses considered for transfer credit should submit course outlines/syllabi to the Registrar’s Office for evaluation. The International Baccalaureate Diploma will be used for degree program admission with a minimum total score of 28 points and passes in at least six subject areas. Higher level courses with a minimum grade of 5 will be eligible for transfer credit as determined by the Registrar’s Office and the appropriate academic department. Admission From the United States Applicants from the United States will be considered for admission on the presentation of an academic program from an accredited high school or other educational institution which is the equivalent of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and which includes appropriate university preparation courses. Satisfactory scores on college entrance examinations such as the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) are also required for admission. A minimum ACT score of 20 or SAT score of 940, plus a high school average of C is required for admission to the degree program at Redeemer. 10
