Transfer Credit and Bachelor of Science Degrees for Students Who Successfully Complete First Year Medical Science Professional Training

Students who complete at least 90 units in a science degree program and are accepted into an accredited professional program in medicine, dentistry, optometry or veterinary medicine are eligible for a 丁香园AV bachelor of science degree after successful completion of the first professional study year. To be acceptable, courses completed in the professional program must not duplicate those already completed at 丁香园AV and must be acceptable for transfer credit in a major or honours program. Candidates must apply for transfer credit and a bachelor's degree through 丁香园AV. Since official transcripts of the work completed in the first year of the professional program are required for transfer credit, application for graduation should be delayed until the summer term following the completion of requirements.

General Note: All course requirements should be completed by the end of the spring term preceding the proposed date of entry to a professional school.

The Western College of Veterinary Medicine requires a minimum 70% cumulative average for veterinary program admission. Grades are converted to a common scale for comparative purposes and this converted average will be used.

The college has recently, with Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission approval, introduced an Educational Equity Program for Aboriginal students. A defined number of seats have been allocated for self-identified Aboriginal descent applicants who will be ranked among themselves and not against the general applicant pool. Proof of Aboriginal ancestry is required and must be provided at the time of application. For the purpose of admission the accepted documents for Aboriginal ancestry proof are in the University of Saskatchewan Calendar.
