For Admission

You may have already attended a university, but it wasn’t the right fit.  Or you may be thinking about beginning a new degree program with us.   If you’re thinking about transferring to Brescia, we want to make the transition seamless for you. If you had a minimum overall average of 70% at your previous accredited university we will transfer those credits to Brescia. If our grading system differs from that at your previous university, we will convert your grades to The University of Western Ontario’s equivalents.

Transfer Credits

When applying to Brescia, our Admissions Team will assess your admission eligibility and your previous course work to determine which credits can be transferred. Advanced standing may be granted for courses completed at another university with a minimum mark of 60%. Brescia will assess all applications on an individual basis and can transfer a maximum of 10.0 courses.  Please note that our Admissions Team may require submission of official course outlines/syllabi to determine a course equivalency at our university.

Transfer credit is subject to department approval, based on your intended area of study.
