Important Admissions Notes For All Applicants
Thank you for considering Brock University! We
welcome your application and ask that you carefully
review the information below prior to applying.
Program Choice and Order
You can expect to receive an offer of admission
to only one program. When more than one Brock
program is indicated on the application, the highest
choice listed for Brock will be considered first.
If you are not eligible for the first choice, consideration
will be given to subsequent choices in the order of
preference that you have indicated on the application.
If you apply to only one Brock program and do not
qualify, in most cases consideration will be given for
an alternate and related program.
Timing of Offers of Admission
December: A select number of offers of admission
will be extended to high achieving applicants who
have completed a minimum of six 3U/M courses
and one 4U/M course and are registered in Grade 12
prerequisite requirements.
Early February: Offers of admission will be extended
to those who have completed a minimum of six 4U/M
courses and meet all prerequisite requirements.
2
Mid‑February (usually the third week): The majority
of offers of admission will be made at this time. Offers
will be based on a minimum of three final 4U/M
courses, as well as registration in an additional three
4U/M courses, including prerequisites (for those in a
non‑semestered school, offers are based on six
4U/M interim grades).
Late April/Early May: Offers of admission will be
based on a minimum of six interim or final 4U/M
courses, including prerequisites. Calculation of the
admission average will be based on the best six
4U/M courses, including prerequisite subjects.
Deferrals
Brock University will grant a deferral where severe
extenuating circumstances warrant one. The
decision as to whether a deferral is warranted
is at the discretion of Brock University and is not
automatic. Deferrals will be considered only after
acceptance of a Brock University offer and receipt
of final grades. Contact 101apps@brocku.ca for
further information and the appropriate deferral
request form.

Nursing (BScN)
Brock University offers two distinct options for
completing the BScN degree:
Brock University Program
You may apply to the four‑year BScN Honours
program that is offered entirely at the Brock
University campus in St. Catharines. After completing
the degree, you are eligible to write the certification
exam to become a Registered Nurse. If you wish to
study at Brock University, choose this option.
Loyalist CAAT/Brock University
Collaborative Program
You may apply to the four‑year BScN Honours
program that is offered in collaboration with Loyalist
College in Belleville, Ontario. The first two years are
completed at Loyalist College and the final two
years at Brock University. Following completion
of the degree, you will be eligible to write the
certification exam to become a Registered Nurse.
Applications to the program are made through the
Ontario College Application Service (OCAS). If you
wish to begin studies at Loyalist College, you should
choose this option.
English Proficiency
If English is your second language, you must
submit evidence of English‑language proficiency.
Studying in an Ontario high school, or under
Ontario curriculum in another country, does not
automatically exempt you from this requirement.
Email 101apps@brocku.ca early in the application
process if you have any questions regarding the
need to submit a test score. Normally, in order to
be considered for early admission, a successful test
result is required by late February or, for May offers,
the last week in April. For detailed information
about English‑language proficiency requirements,
refer to: www.brocku.ca/webcal/2015/undergrad/
admi.html#sec13.

program in cases where the preferred program is
limited in enrollment or is full. You may be considered
under one or more of the following categories:

letters and/or supporting documentation should
clearly articulate how the special circumstances
have impacted your academic performance.
Learning Disabilities

decisions. Admission is not guaranteed.
The following documentation is required:

articulates how the learning disability has
impacted your academic performance.

for required accommodations. Contact SSWD at

Awards & Financial Aid
For information about Brock’s innovative scholarship
awards and financial aid, refer to:
www.brocku.ca/safa/awards/.
Co‑op Programs
Co‑op students at Brock receive extensive coaching
and support to enable successful transitions to
the workplace. Work placements with companies
located
across
Canada
and
internationally
contribute to, and build upon, academic programs.
Note: Co‑op is a limited enrollment program and
admission is not guaranteed by attaining the
minimum requirements.
International students on study permits are welcome
to apply to, and be considered for admission to
co‑op programs at Brock University. However,
admission to some programs may be limited or
restricted due to limitations imposed by industry
requirements or Canadian immigration laws, which
make it difficult to secure placements for visa
students and present challenges for successful
completion of required work terms. If you are in
Canada on a study permit, you are ineligible to apply
for the Accounting co‑op program. You may apply
for the Political Science co‑op program; however,
you may not specialize in Public Administration.
Med Plus
Med Plus at Brock University is an experiential
learning, non‑credit initiative designed to provide
you with the skills and experience necessary for a
successful health professional career. It has two
key goals: Med Plus aims to boost your chances
of being accepted into graduate health programs
(e.g., medical school, physiotherapy programs) by
providing a range of experiences, speakers and skill
development workshops that help you in a variety
of personal and interpersonal facets of life; Med
Plus also helps you develop a supportive network of
contacts and mentors in the region, so you will have
a good basis upon which to establish your career
after completing your education. For additional
information and an application form, refer to:
www.brocku.ca/career-services/students-alumni/
