University Requirements

A student who already holds a bachelor degree(s) from an approved institution may complete a second or subsequent bachelor degree at the University, subject to the following conditions and regulations.

The basic requirement for a further bachelor degree is the completion of the upper division requirements associated with a first bachelor degree (except for the BEd degree). Prior completion of lower division prerequisites are required, or may be waived at the discretion of the department or program in which the further degree is being sought.

A student may not enrol in a further bachelor degree program in a subject in which she/he already holds a degree. A student who has a minor (or equivalent) in a particular subject may enrol in a further degree with a major or honours program in that subject.

Credit earned towards a previous degree or diploma may not be used toward a further bachelor degree. Transfer credit may be given for additional courses completed beyond the previous credential but prior to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV admission. However, the normal upper division residency requirement applies: at least two thirds of the upper division course work for the degree must be completed at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV. Some faculties may have additional residency requirements.
