Admission of Homeschooled Applicants
Applicants who have an academic background based upon home
schooling may be considered for admission at Redeemer based upon
satisfactory American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) scores. Applicants must provide evidence of Grade 12
equivalency including completion of at least five academic Grade
12 subjects including English. A Learning Portfolio must also be
submitted as outlined in the application for admission. 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. See previous information
about the ACT or SAT.
Readmission to Redeemer
Students who have previously completed courses at Redeemer
University College are required to apply for readmission. These
students may be considered previous students or former students.
Returning to Redeemer as a Previous Student
Previous students are those individuals who have been away from
Redeemer for more than 12 consecutive months and who were in
good academic standing upon their departure. Previous students must
submit the Readmission Application form and include all transcripts
for any college/university courses completed since the student was
last enrolled at Redeemer. Students must inform the Registrar’s Office
in writing if they are planning to take a one-year hiatus from studies.
Upon returning, those students may then continue in the program in
which they were admitted. Students who leave without informing the
Registrar’s Office, or who have been away from Redeemer for more
than 12 months or who officially withdrew from Redeemer, may be
readmitted but will be required to complete the program requirements
of the year under which they were readmitted.
Readmission of Former Students
Former students who reapply to Redeemer University College
following academic dismissal and a one-year period of rustication
(absence from the institution) may opt to start a new transcript record.
Only courses with a minimum grade of C- will be used towards degree
requirements. The institution may determine, at the discretion of the
Academic Standards Committee, that certain courses completed in
the previous period of study at the university be accepted as course
waivers, without credits, towards satisfying graduation requirements.
Or, students may continue with the transcript as it was upon their academic
dismissal. The student who is reapplying must indicate if they wish to start
a new transcript record or continue the previous one.
Admission to a Second Degree Program
Students who have completed an undergraduate degree program
at another university may complete a second degree at Redeemer
University College. Students must apply for admission to Redeemer
(similar to the process followed by transfer students).
The requirements of the second degree program are as follows:
• A minimum grade point average of 4.00 (C- or 60%) in the last
year of full-time studies (10 courses or 30 credits) and a cumulative
grade point average of 4.00 are required for admission.
• The second degree program must be completed in a different
discipline than the first undergraduate degree. For example, if a
student has previously completed a degree in psychology, he or she
may not choose psychology at Redeemer.
• A minimum of 20 courses must normally be completed at
Redeemer University College (either through part-time or full-time
studies).
• All major and degree requirements must be met, including
Redeemer’s core curriculum requirements. Completing a minor is
not required for this program.
Any Redeemer University College graduate may also complete a
second undergraduate degree. In this case, the student must enrol in the
degree program opposite to the degree he or she already holds (i.e. the
student must enrol in a B.Sc. degree program if he or she already holds
a B.A. degree). The student must complete all program requirements
pertaining to the new degree (major and cognate requirements), and
he or she must complete a minimum of 20 courses in addition to the
courses completed for the first undergraduate degree.
Admission to the Consecutive
Bachelor of Education Program
To be considered for admission to the Consecutive Bachelor of
Education degree program, applicants must hold an acceptable
university degree. If applying to the junior/intermediate division,
applicants are required to present a minimum of 6 courses/18 credits
(progressing in academic rigour) in a teaching subject listed below.
Normally a major or minor will satisfy this requirement. Students
applying to the primary/junior division do not need to have a teaching
subject. Teaching subjects include:
• Dramatic Arts
• English
• French
• Geography
• Health & Physical Education
• History
• Mathematics
• Music - Instrumental or Vocal
• Religion & Theology
• Science - General*
• Visual Arts
*The Science - General teaching subject must include courses
from three separate science subjects. Please consult the Education
Department for more information on a complete list of recommended
majors/minors and teaching subject requirements.
To be considered for admission, an applicant must have a minimum
grade point average of 7.00 (B- or 70%) in the last two years of his
or her university program, a cumulative grade point average of 7.00,
satisfy the English Language requirement, and should give evidence of
some experience with elementary-level students in a structured setting.
