Admission From Other Countries Applicants from countries other than Canada and the U.S. 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) may also be required for admission. 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. Information about the ACT is available from the American College Testing Program, Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa, USA 52240. Information about the SAT is available from Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, USA 08540. Each international student will be assessed on an individual basis. Admission to Redeemer University College will be based on a combination of the requirements for university admission in the applicant’s country of residence and requirements in Canada. In all cases clear and official transcripts are required. Immigration Requirements Citizens and legal residents of the United States are allowed to apply for student permits at their Canadian port of entry. It is imperative that a student be in possession of a letter of acceptance from Redeemer University College, have evidence of sufficient funds for all tuition and accommodation, and have identification establishing U.S. citizenship or a U.S. alien resident card. A document processing fee will be collected at the port of entry. Since immigration requirements are subject to change, students are strongly encouraged to contact the Canadian Consulate nearest them prior to crossing the border. International students need to make application for a study permit with the Canadian Embassy, High Commission, or Consulate in their own countries. Application for a study permit should be made as early as possible to ensure sufficient time for processing. International students must present a study permit to the Registrar’s Office at Redeemer prior to enroling in courses. More information is available at www.cic.gc.ca. Admission as a Mature Student An applicant who does not meet the normal admission criteria can be considered for admission as a mature student provided the following conditions are met: • The applicant will be at least 21 years of age during the regular academic year. • The applicant has not attended school on a full-time basis for at least two years. • The applicant can demonstrate through letters of reference, college entrance test scores, and/or transcripts for any high school work completed that he or she has potential for academic success at the university level. Admission as a Transfer Student Transfer students must present the same application forms and transcripts as those applying for first-year standing, including an official transcript from each post-secondary institution attended. Applicants transferring with fewer than 24 credit hours of postsecondary studies (equivalent of 8 three-credit courses) will be considered for admission on the basis of their secondary school grades; however, the post-secondary work of such applicants will be evaluated for possible transfer credit. Along with their application, transfer students are requested to submit course outlines/syllabi for courses completed at other post-secondary institutions for which transfer credit is sought. Evaluation of transfer credit is completed after a student has been admitted, and once all appropriate documents have been received by the Registrar’s Office. Redeemer University College reserves the right to accept for transfer credit only those courses which comply with the academic standards and policies established by the Senate. The maximum number of courses that can be accepted for transfer credit from an undergraduate university institution is 30 courses towards a 40 course general program (see page 53 for the Residency Policy). The grades received at another institution will not be incorporated in the cumulative grade point average for the work completed at Redeemer University College. For specific transfer information, the applicant should consult with the Registrar’s Office. Transfer from Universities Admission to Redeemer University College is decided on the basis of performance at the post-secondary institution from which the student is transferring. The overall standing must be a C- (60% or 4.00 on a 12 point scale). Redeemer has adopted the Pan-Canadian Protocol on the Transferability of University Credits. Students may receive credit for courses completed at another recognized university where credit was given under the following conditions: • Courses must be acceptable in the program to which transfer is being sought either as required courses or as electives. • Grades must be of at least a C- level. Exceptions to this may be made for students who have participated in official exchange programs. Transfer from Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) Admission to Redeemer University College is decided on the basis of performance at the post-secondary institution from which the student is transferring. The overall standing must be a B- (70% or 7.00 on a 12 point scale). Transfer credits are granted for courses with a minimum grade of B- on a case-by-case scenario based on the program or courses completed. An evaluation of course outlines/syllabi will determine possible equivalency and credit will be granted based on this evaluation. Students who have completed courses in a program with a more technical or applied focus will likely receive less transfer credit. Applicants admitted as mature students will normally be placed on academic probation. Some mature applicants may be asked to attend an interview with the Admissions Committee. 11
Transfer from Bible Colleges Admission to Redeemer University College is decided on the basis of performance at the post-secondary institution from which the student is transferring. The overall standing must be a B- (70% or 7.00 on a 12 point scale). Transfer credits are granted for courses with a minimum grade of B- on a case-by-case scenario based on the program or courses completed. An evaluation of course outlines/syllabi will determine possible equivalency and credit will be granted based on this evaluation. A maximum of 6 courses (18 credits) of Religion/Biblical Studies will be granted for transfer. Unaccredited Bible Colleges are assessed on a case-by-case basis and normally transfer credits are limited. No credit will be given for work completed in practical discipleship training programs. Transfer from Augustine College (Ottawa, Ontario) Augustine College students who transfer to Redeemer University College to complete their degree program can receive full transfer credit for all courses completed at Augustine with a minimum grade of C. Furthermore, students who transfer to Redeemer from Augustine and completed a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M level courses in secondary school can expect to complete a four-year undergraduate degree with three years of study at Redeemer. Transfer from Heritage College (Cambridge, Ontario) Students who possess the Certificate in General Studies from Heritage College with a minimum average of B- (2.75 GPA on the Heritage grading scale) will be considered for admission to Redeemer University College with advanced standing of up to 10 courses. Students will receive credit for the courses listed in the table of equivalencies. These courses may be used to satisfy core requirements, general electives, or program requirements of the academic program the student chooses to complete at Redeemer. Depending on choice of program, major and minor, students should be able to complete a four-year undergraduate degree with three years of study at Redeemer. Some program options may require additional course work. In the case that a student has an average below B- courses will be considered on an individual basis and a maximum of 8 courses with a C grade or higher will be eligible for transfer credit. Transfer from Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy (Barry’s Bay, Ontario) Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy (OLSWA) students who transfer to Redeemer University College to complete their degree program can receive full transfer credit for up to 30 three-credit courses completed at OLSWA with a minimum grade of C-. With careful planning in selected majors, students can complete a four-year general B.A. in one year and an honours B.A. in two years. Students wishing to enter the concurrent Bachelor of Education program should consult the Registrar’s Office. Admission as a Probation Student Canadian applicants who possess an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent but 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. The Committeee may recommend probationary admission if the student shows evidence of ability to handle undergraduate university studies. Probationary students are given special attention by advisors, faculty, and academic support staff. Mandatory tutoring services in identified areas of weakness are also supplied. Students admitted on probation may be required to complete Academic Support 012, Methods and Motivation for University Study, a non-credit halfcourse. These students may also be required to take the English Writing Diagnostic Examination to determine their level of reading and writing comprehension. The number of courses taken per term may also be limited. Probationary students are eligible to participate in one extra-curricular activity at any one time, including a varsity sport. Work study hours are limited to five hours per week for those students on probation. The academic standing of probationary students is evaluated at the end of the term, at which time a decision is made as to whether the student is taken off probation, continues on probation, or is eligible for dismissal after the winter term. Decisions with respect to probation or academic dismissal are reflected on transcripts. When students complete a term and obtain the minimum cumulative grade point average necessary for good standing, they will be removed from probation (see page 46). Admission From an Accelerated Christian Education Program Applicants who have an academic background in an Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) program, or any affiliate thereof, must submit American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores as well as up-to-date high school grade reports to be considered for admission at Redeemer. A minimum ACT score of 20 or SAT score of 940 is required for regular admission to the degree program. Students who do not meet the minimum admission requirements will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis. Scholarship eligibility is based solely upon composite ACT or SAT scores. Information about the ACT is available from the American College Testing Program, Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa, USA 52240. The Student Life Department at Redeemer is able to conduct the ACT test for incoming students only. Information about the SAT is available from Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, USA 08540. 12
