Readmission and transfers

Readmission

Students wishing to return to the University after an absence of part of an academic year or more must apply for readmission and provide official transcripts for any courses taken during that period. The online application will be available for fall term requests as of March 1st through the Student Records Menu once you have logged into Minerva.

If your most recent standing was unsatisfactory as indicated on Minerva, make sure to provide proof of any extenuating circumstances affecting your academic performance (e.g. medical documentation) along with a personal explanation.

If you have been in unsatisfactory standing more than once, you must also apply to the Committee on Academic Standing with all necessary documents.

Deadlines to apply for readmission into the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences

• For fall term: August 15
• For winter term: December 15

Readmission to Dietetics is subject to French proficiency and GPA. See information below.

Minimum requirements to transfer into the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences

Transfer applicants must have completed Calculus 1 for science along with at least 2 other basic science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics) to be considered for admission in a program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (excluding Dietetics). The remaining basic science courses will have to be completed based on the program requirements.

Any transfer or readmission to a program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences requires a student to be in satisfactory standing. For the Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Food Science, concurrent Food Science/Nutritional Sciences聽and Bioresource Engineering degrees, a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.7 is required.

B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences)

Nutrition major

For the major in Nutrition, a minimum CGPA of 3.0 is required.

Dietetics major

Candidates applying to transfer to the Dietetics Major must have a minimum 3.30 CGPA in a nutrition, health, or science-related program. The Dietetics major is a professional program and requires French proficiency.

Priority for transfer will be given to applicants who have been carrying a full course load (at least 12 credits per semester), have a CGPA of 3.30 or higher, and have completed all entrance science pre-requisite courses.

In the event that the number of transfer applicants with a CGPA of 3.30 or higher exceeds the program's capacity, then the CGPA cut-off could be higher than 3.30 (for Fall 2023 and Fall 2024, the cut-off was minimum of 3.30 CGPA). See below for how to apply for an interfaculty or intra-faculty transfer.

The Dietetics major takes 3.5 years to complete, from the time of transfer to the first fall semester, due to the sequencing of the stages (internships) in this integrated professional program.
