There are two application processes for admission to the University – General and Flexible. Students who successfully apply and meet all of the criteria under one of the two application processes will be admitted to the University. Students who have not met the requirements for admission under either the general or flexible admissions policy will not be admitted to the University and will be informed that they have not been admitted.

In order to facilitate and ensure the University commitment to excellence in teaching and research, scholarship and service to students and the broader community and in recognition of the likelihood that applicants will be adult learners, the University will employ a Flexible Admissions policy. We welcome adult students who may not have completed secondary education but have through work experience demonstrated learning achievements. For students applying through Flexible Admissions this means that the University will base admission on a variety of items including academic record if available, employment record and other relevant achievements pertaining to the study of workplace health science.

The General Admission procedure, for applicants who have graduated from secondary education at an equivalent level to Canadian High School Grade 12, or who have one or more years of undergraduate education, or who are applying through a block transfer agreement, or who have a current CDMP or CRTWC requires an applicant to submit a portfolio that consists of:

• Personal details;
• Personal profile that includes a written statement by the prospective student of reasons for seeking admission;
• Submission of a portfolio detailing the prospective student’s academic and other achievements and evidence of the capacity to complete university at a degree level;
• If available, Official Transcripts from the applicant’s secondary institution of graduation;
• If available, Official Transcripts from the applicant’s post-secondary institution of study;
• Copies of certificates of training.
