Admission

1. Applicants planning to enter the BComm program from a post-secondary institution (including the University of Calgary) must meet the admission requirements outlined in section A.5.3.1 Transfer Admission Requirements. Change of Program students are considered for admission under these same transfer admission regulations.

Assistance with program planning is available through Haskayne Undergraduate Student Services.

2. The grade point average for determining admission will be calculated as outlined in A.5.3 Transferring from Another Post-Secondary Institution - Transfer Admission GPA, after the Fall Term. Admitted students completing courses during the Winter Term must remain in good academic standing to maintain their offer of admission.

3. Courses or their equivalents presented to fulfill admission requirements must not have been repeated more than once.

4. Admitted students are advised that a maximum of 12 units with “D” or “D+” grades will be used to fulfil degree requirements.

Refer to 4.1.4.1 Concentrations.
