Transfer
By transferring to Brescia University College, you will enhance your education through
our small class sizes, compassionate staff and faculty and experiential learning opportunities.
Whether you’re transferring from college, university or you’re an international transfer,
you’ll find a home at Brescia University.
Brescia is affiliated with Western University, one of the largest universities in
the province. Our students benefit from a small, supportive atmosphere at Brescia
while having accesses to resources at Western. Upon graduation, students receive their
degree from Western.
University
Follow the guidelines below to determine your eligibility for admission when transfering
from Brescia to another university.
If you had a minimum overall average of 70% at your previous accredited university
we will consider you for transfer to Brescia. If our grading system differs from that
at your previous university, we will convert your grades to Western University’s equivalents.
Transfer Credits

When applying to Brescia, your previous course work will be reviewed to determine
which credits may 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
the Admissions Office may require submission of official course outlines/syllabi to

If you have earned a first degree equivalent to at least a 15.0 course credits at
Western with a minimum average of 60% (in the context of Western’s grading system)
then you are eligible to apply for admission to take courses at Brescia for credit
as a Special Student.
Students who have an undergraduate degree from another accredited university and who
intend to either upgrade from a non-honours to an honours degree or complete the requirements
for a second honours degree in another discipline, must apply for general admission
to Brescia as a “Special Student”.
If you have an undergraduate degree from another accredited university and intend
