Applicant Information
The application requirements for admission as a first-year or upper-year student are outlined in the Admission section of the
Calendar under Application Procedures. All applications must be submitted by May 1 to
Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services. The Edwards School of Business resources and facilities limit enrolment and therefore the school cannot guarantee admission to all applicants who meet the minimum requirements.
First-year applicants must apply for early admission. Demand for first-year admission into the School has been high, but we strongly urge all applicants with a solid academic record to apply.
Upper-year applications are reviewed by
Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services, and admission is based on academic standing in university courses. An upper-year transfer applicant is one who has successfully completed at least 18 credit units. All transfer students applying to the Bachelor of Commerce program must have successfully completed Math B30 and Math C30 or MATH 110.3 (or its equivalent) at the university level.
If you are applying from within the University of Saskatchewan you will be considered for admission on the basis of either your cumulative or last year(s) average (at least 18 credit units). If you are applying from an outside institution or college, you will be considered for admission on either the Cumulative Weighted Average on all transferable courses or 18 credit units or more of transferable classes in your last year of studies. The highest calculated average will be used for admission purposes.
Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.) students who interrupt their studies for one or more years and wish to return, must resubmit an application form by May 1. Your application will be assessed using the following regulations:
- Those students with a clear average, having not completed any courses (for which transfer credit is granted), at any college or post-secondary institution are guaranteed readmission.
- B.Comm. students who during their absence have taken between 3 and 15 transferable credit units will be assessed for readmission on the basis of having achieved an average of at least 60% on the transferable courses and being eligible to reapply as a returning student.
- A first-year B.Comm. student who is Required to Discontinue from the School and who takes fewer than 18 credits of post-secondary education, may be readmitted after one year on the basis of their high school average.
- An upper-year B.Comm. student who is Required to Discontinue from the School in a year other than their first, and who has two faculty actions on their record, will not be readmitted until they complete at least 18 credits in another college or post-secondary institution and meet the transfer average in effect for that year.
- An upper-year B.Comm. student who is Required to Discontinue from the School in a year other than their first, and has only one action on their record, and having not completed any courses at another College or post-secondary institution, must reapply and will be readmitted after one year.
- B.Comm. students who were Required to Discontinue from the college and chose to complete 18 credit units or more at another college or post-secondary institution during their Required to Discontinue year must reapply and meet the transfer average in effect for that year.

Admitted applicants from outside the University of Saskatchewan will receive an Advanced Standing Evaluation from
Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services. The Edwards School of Business will mail a program plan prior to registration indicating the transfer credit that is applicable to the Bachelor of Commerce degree. Acceptance into the Bachelor of Commerce program does not guarantee entry into the restricted majors (Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing). If you are in a position to select a major and you want to be considered for one of the restricted majors (ACC, FIN, HRM, MKT), you will need to contact the School prior to registering.
International applicants may apply for admission to the Bachelor of Commerce degree program. The Edwards School of Business will accept successful completion of the ESL program (Level 50: Advanced) as proof of English proficiency in lieu of a TOEFL score. These applicants must compete for admission as the School has a limited quota for first-year and upper-year international applicants.
