In addition to regular admission requirements, admission of transfer applicants (or students with transfer credit) to the College of Engineering is governed by the following criteria:

1. Your academic average at your previous institution must have been high enough to have continued engineering studies at that institution. Normally, you cannot have been advised or required to discontinue studies elsewhere, either permanently or temporarily.
2. Your transfer credit will be granted on a course-by-course basis following an assessment of the transcripts by Admissions, in consultation with the College of Engineering. Find more information on this process.
3. Your transfer credit will also be considered by the college within the context of criteria outlined by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

To obtain a B.E. degree from the U of S, up to 54 credits may be obtained through transfer courses. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board criteria may also limit the number of transfer credits awarded to your B.E. degree.
Find more transfer credit information specific to the College of Engineering by selecting the “Transfer Students FAQ” tab on the college website.

In general, applicants must be qualified to enter university in their home country. Specific subjects are required for some areas of study.

If you are from one of the following countries where English is the official language, you typically do not need to provide proof of English proficiency.

It is sufficient proof of English proficiency if you have at least 2.5 years of full-time attendance at a Canadian or U.S. high school (or at an institution where English is the language of instruction and examination)¹ including

1. complete secondary-level standing
2. successful consecutive completion of English Language Arts subjects in Grades 11 and 12, and
3. a final mark of at least 70% in each Grade 12 English Language Arts (A30 and B30 or equivalents).²

¹If completion of secondary standing occurred more than five years ago, additional proof of English proficiency may be required.

²Students who have exactly two years of full-time attendance will be considered if they achieve a final mark of at least 80% in each Grade 12 English Language Arts (A30 and B30 or equivalents).

Successful completion of at least 18 credit units of transferable university-level courses where English is the official language of instruction and examination is sufficient proof of proficiency². The post-secondary institution must declare English to be the primary language of instruction and examination throughout the institution, not just in select departments.

² If post-secondary study occurred more than five years ago, additional proof of English proficiency may be required.

Sufficient proof or proficiency includes successful completion of

1. Level UP2: High Advanced Academic English offered by the U of S Language Centre or
2. English as a Second Language (ESL 050) program offered by the University of Regina.

One of the following tests will also be accepted. Test scores must be forwarded by the testing centre directly to International Admissions no later than the deadline for receipt of documents.

1. Self report your marks

2. Submit your Semester One final transcript
