2000-2001 Calendar: Other Admission Categories

OTHER ADMISSION CATEGORIES

Students Transferring from University of Toronto at Mississauga (Erindale Campus) and University of Toronto at Scarborough (Scarborough Campus)
Students transferring from Erindale and Scarborough campuses must follow the degree requirements and observe the course exclusions in the St. George Campus Calendar. For example: the St. George Campus Distribution Requirements must be completed.

Admission with Transfer Credit

Candidates with acceptable standing at other universities, or at other Faculties or Schools of this University including Scarborough Campus, may be considered for admission with transfer credit provided that the content of the studies for which credit is sought is considered appropriate for inclusion in a degree program offered by the Faculty. Transfer credits are assessed after admission once the student has submitted the necessary request forms along with the $30.00 administrative fee. The Faculty grants a maximum of five transfer credits — four at the 100 level and one at the 200 level — to students who have completed a post-secondary degree. The Faculty grants a maximum of five credits to candidates who have completed a three-year diploma, and a maximum of two credits to candidates who have completed a two-year diploma. Otherwise a maximum of ten transfer credits may be granted.
Regardless of the number of transfer credits granted, at least two of the three 300+series courses required for a B.A. or B.Sc., and five of the six 300+series courses required for an Honours degree must be completed with a passing mark in this Faculty.
Newly admitted students have one year from the date of their transfer credit assessment, or from the date of their first registration in the Faculty, whichever is later, to request a reassessment or adjustment. The same time limit applies to all departmental interviews.

Admission Restricted to “Part-Time”

Students restricted to a reduced course load on admission may not take more than 3.5 courses in the Winter Session and a maximum of 2.0 courses in the Summer Session. If these students wish to transfer to full-time studies, they may apply through their College Registrar after the session in which they pass at least 4 courses in the Faculty with a cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.50. (Transfer credits are not counted.)

Admission “On Probation”

Candidates who have attended other universities, or other Faculties or Schools of this University including Scarborough College, and who do not meet the Faculty’s requirements for admission may on appeal be admitted “on probation.” The academic requirements that must be met by students admitted “on probation” are the same as those required of students who encounter academic difficulties while registered in the Faculty. Refer to Section Six, Rules and Regulations: Academic Status, in this Calendar.

Admission as Special Students

Special Students are registered in the Faculty but are not proceeding towards a degree offered by the Faculty. Most Special Students have completed degree studies and are taking further courses for their own purposes, including admission to graduate studies. Students admitted as degree students cannot become Special students unless they have completed an Honours or Four Year degree, or are returning to the Faculty as Visiting students on a Letter of Permission from another institution. To apply for admission as a Special Student contact Admissions and Awards, 315 Bloor Street, Toronto M5S 1A3 (978-2190).

Admission of External Students to a Second Degree Program

Applicants with a B.A or equivalent from another university who wish to complete a second undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Arts and Science may apply for admission to a second degree program. Before applying, external candidates are urged to determine whether a second degree is actually required for their purposes; for example, a “make-up” year as a Special Student may satisfy admission requirements for a graduate program. To apply, contact Admissions & Awards, 315 Bloor Street W., Toronto Ontario, M5S 1A3 (978-2190).

Admission as Visiting Students

Students with valid Letters of Permission from other accredited North American universities who have not been officially admitted to the Faculty of Arts and Science may register as visiting students at Woodsworth College, taking courses for transfer credit at their own home university. Visiting Student status does not imply acceptance as either a student proceeding towards a degree or a Special Student. Students will be admitted with the status of OKAY and will receive grade point averages and statuses as outlined in Section 6. Students must observe Faculty policies, including the prohibition on repeating a “passed” course. Application deadlines: Summer Session I: March 24, 2000; Summer Session II: June 23, 2000. Deadlines may be extended. For further information contact Woodsworth College, University of Toronto, Toronto M5S 1A9 (978-4444). Admission as Non-Matriculants
Students who have transferred to other universities, but wish to return to the Faculty on a Letter of Permission should re-register at their original college as Special Students.

Admission as Non-Matriculants; Academic Bridging Program

Candidates at least twenty-one years of age who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada and who do not hold the published admission requirements, may apply for admission as non-matriculants. They must present proof of age, and must complete, with high standing, at least one of the Academic Bridging courses offered by Woodsworth College. All candidates should consult Admissions and Awards concerning their eligibility to qualify as a non-matriculant through the Academic Bridging Program. Information on the Academic Bridging Program is provided in Section 5. of this Calendar. Further information is also available by contacting Woodsworth College, University of Toronto, Toronto M5S 1A9 (978-2415).

Admission of Senior Citizens

Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada who are at least sixty-five years of age by the first day of the term, may register in the Faculty at University of Toronto at Mississauga or Woodsworth Colleges as part-time Special Students. They do not have to meet the academic requirements for admission. Applicants should contact Woodsworth College at 978-2411 (or University of Toronto at Mississauga at 905-828-5399) for admission and tuition fee information.

Re-Registration in the Faculty

Students previously registered in this Faculty who wish to return after an absence must submit a Request for Re-registration Form (charge: $24.00) through their College Registrar. Re-registration is necessary for previous students who have not registered in the Faculty in two or more sessions (Winter or Summer) preceding the session for which they intend to re-register.
