Admission

1. A prospective BComm transfer student must first successfully complete 10 prescribed full-course equivalents. Assistance in program planning is available through the office of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), Haskayne School of Business.1

2. A maximum of two full-course equivalents with "D" or "D+" grades may be used to fulfill commerce requirements. The "D" or "D+" grades cannot be in prerequisite courses or in the junior English course. The minimum grade required in a prerequisite course is "C-", unless the course serves as the prerequisite to the concentration sought. In this case it must be a "C". The minimum grade required in the junior English course is a "C-".

3. Admission to the Haskayne School of Business will be based on the calculation of the grade point average over the most recent course work to a maximum of five full-course equivalents (University of Calgary courses and/or transfer courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a term will be included except where the number of courses taken within a term exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used. Spring Term courses taken after May 1 in the year of admission will not be used in the calculation of the grade point average.

4. Applicants must have a minimum grade point average of 2.50 (calculated as outlined in point 3. above).

5. Transfer applicants must present official transcripts to the Office of the Registrar indicating time spent and grades received in all courses being presented to satisfy pre-commerce requirements or for advanced standing in the Bachelor of Commerce program.

6. Courses or their equivalents presented to fulfill pre-commerce requirements must not have been repeated more than once.

7. Those applicants attending Spring Term to fulfill pre-commerce requirements, if admitted, will be admitted provisionally subject to required standing being obtained in their Spring Term courses. Summer Term courses taken in the year of application will not be considered. For further information contact the office of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), Haskayne School of Business.

1 Note: Prospective BComm transfer students presenting the majority of the 10 prescribed full-course equivalent pre-commerce requirements, with deficiencies in only the “Senior Non-Commerce Option” requirements by the end of the Spring Term of the year of admission, will be considered for admission at the discretion of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), on the basis of superior academic merit. The Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), reserves the right to a) set a minimum grade point average above the competitive admission grade point average required for fully-qualified applicants, and b) limit the number of transfer students admitted deficient these pre-commerce requirements.
