Prior Learning Assessment

At the University of Guelph, Prior Learning Assessment is an acceptable process for assigning credit at the undergraduate level for learning stemming from experience acquired independently of courses taken at university. PLA provides a mechanism whereby credit is given for equivalence in a university course to those students who have mastered the content of the course concerned without having taken a formal course in the subject area. Such mastery may have been acquired, for example, through work experience, independent study or from non-degree courses. In the absence of a certificate or other formal acknowledgment of competence by an appropriately accredited institution, the student can challenge the appropriate specific course(s) offered by the University to a maximum of 5.00 credits in a degree program or 30% of the curriculum for Open Learning Certificates. This is a post admission process only.

Each academic department is responsible for determining which of its courses may be subject to PLA challenge. The challenge process could include one or more assessment methods, including standardized tests, written and/or oral examinations, performance evaluations, interviews, and portfolio assessments. These assessments require that the individual demonstrate, to a qualified faculty member, that pre-determined knowledge and skills have been acquired.

Students should contact Undergraduate Program Services for application forms and further information.

Co-operative Education Program

Students will be considered for admission to semester 1 of the Co-operative Education program upon completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, including six Ontario Academic Credits (or equivalent). Normally, an overall average of 70% on six Ontario Academic Course credits is the minimum required for consideration, but higher averages may be required for admission to individual programs where the demand for places by qualified applicants exceeds the supply of places available in those programs. Applicants to the Co-operative Education programs must have Permanent Resident status in Canada or be a Canadian citizen. U.S. citizens should contact Co-operative Education Services.

Specific Ontario Academic Course credit requirements for admission to the various degree programs are outlined following this section. In some cases, applicants may be required to submit a Background Information Sheet in support of their application. If a Background Information Sheet is required, Admission Services will forward the form directly to the applicant upon receipt of the application.

Applicants who are refused admission to Co-operative Education will be considered for admission to the comparable regular degree program. Please refer to Co-operative Education Programs in Section X for further information.

Open Learning

The Open Learning program is an open admission distance-only mode of study program which provides access to university courses for individuals who wish to study independently and who are not interested in pursuing a degree at the present time. This program is designed to extend the academic resources of the University to individuals who wish to take courses for personal enrichment, professional updating or eventual application to a degree program.

No limit applies to the total number of distance education courses taken through Open Learning although students may enrol in a maximum of three (3) courses per semester.

Normally, individuals wanting to shift from the Open Learning Program to a degree program must have completed at least 2.00 credits with a minimum 60% overall average.

In addition they must have completed any specific subject requirements or equivalents and their academic record must meet the requirements for continuation of studies. The academic record from any previous post-secondary experience will also be considered in determining admissibility.

For some programs, performance in specific required courses or portfolios or required background experience, where applicable, may be a consideration for admission. For all programs, where qualified applicants exceed the number of spaces available, admission decisions will be made on a competitive basis.

Individuals wishing to apply to Open Learning should contact the Office of Open Learning for application forms and further information.

Students wishing to apply to transfer from Open Learning to a degree program, should contact the Admission Services office to obtain admission information specific to the degree program of their choice.

English Proficiency

Lectures, seminars and examinations in the University are, for the most part, conducted in English and it is essential that all students have an adequate knowledge of written and spoken English in order for them to be successful in their university studies. Applicants for admission will be required to present evidence of English proficiency if:

Francophone Canadian citizens educated in Canada will not be required to meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement. Students who have completed the International Baccalaureate diploma where English was the language of instruction will be considered as having met the English Proficiency Requirement. The University reserves the right to deny admission to applicants who do not demonstrate satisfactory facility in English, regardless of academic qualifications.

Applicants required to meet the English Proficiency Requirement must do so by submitting the required scores in one of the following tests or battery of tests as outlined in points 1, 2, or 3 below. Test results must be submitted to Admission Services prior to admission by the published document deadline.

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine-D.V.M.

The class size in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) Program is limited to approximately 100 students per year. In addition, a maximum of five international places are available in any one year.

Academic Requirements

For admission to the D.V.M. Program, a minimum of four full-time semesters (10.00 credits), including:

Applicants must complete prerequisite courses while registered on a full-time basis (e.g. University of Guelph 2.50 credits per semester, normally the equivalent of five courses per semester).

*Students entering the D.V.M. Program should be able to operate across discipline boundaries recognizing the relevance of the humanities and the social sciences to their career choice. In selecting these courses from among those acceptable, the prospective veterinary student should consider topics such as ethics, logic, critical thinking, determinants of human behaviour and human social interaction.

All courses must be at university level. Applicants should contact Admission Services, Office of Registrarial Services, for a list of acceptable courses and subject areas. Courses need not be completed in a specialized college or faculty or in a designated Pre-Veterinary program. Students wishing to undertake their preparatory work at the University of Guelph should seek admission to the B.Sc. or the B.Sc. (Agr.) programs. Students who wish to undertake their preparatory work at another university should select an institution that offers the specific course requirements listed above as part of a degree program and that has rigorous entrance requirements and a reputation for academic quality.

Applications will also be considered from persons who have successfully completed at least three full-time semesters in a graduate program. Persons who qualify must indicate their desire to be considered in the graduate student cohort. Their applications will then be removed from the undergraduate applicant pool and considered separately. Applicants in this cohort must have completed all requirements for their graduate degree prior to August 31 of the year of entry to the D.V.M. Program. Selection for interviews will be made on the basis of academic achievement and evaluation of a Background Information Form, referee assessments, and letters of reference from persons familiar with the applicant's performance as a graduate student. Final selection will be based on this information and assessment interview. A maximum of five students may be selected from this cohort each year.

Because of limitations in class size, all candidates should have an alternative career objective and course selection should be compatible with this objective.

Ontario Academic Course Credit Requirements

Students contemplating admission to the D.V.M. Program should include OAC English 1, Biology, Chemistry, Calculus and Physics in their program of studies, or it may not be possible to complete the D.V.M. Program admission requirements and courses required for the MCAT during the first two years of university study.

Residence Requirements

Canadian citizens or individuals who have Permanent Resident Status of at least one year's duration and, in addition are residents of Ontario, will be considered for admission to the D.V.M. Program. 'Resident' in this context is interpreted to mean someone who has resided in Ontario for twelve months, exclusive of time spent in post-secondary institutions. Consideration will be given to a small number of exceptional students who are residents of Quebec. Applicants from countries or regions that do not have appropriate veterinary education facilities will be considered if they satisfy the standards for Canadian applicants. In such cases, applicants are strongly advised to enrol at the University of Guelph for the 10.00 credits necessary to meet the academic requirements for admission consideration. Students from countries or regions that have appropriate veterinary educational facilities may be considered if they satisfy the standards specified for Canadian applicants.

International Students

International students are admitted to the D.V.M. Program. Applicants may not hold Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status in Canada. A maximum of five international seats will be available in any one year.

The application deadline date for international applicants is December 1, 2002 for September 2003 entry to the D.V.M. Program.

Selection Criteria

Since the number of students who satisfy the specific course requirements exceeds the number of available spaces in the D.V.M. Program, the Admissions Sub-Committee may use the following criteria to determine those who will be admitted. The members of the Sub-Committee endeavour to select those well-qualified applicants who, in their judgement, will be best able to successfully complete the veterinary medicine curriculum and who exhibit potential to become competent, responsible veterinarians dedicated to a lifetime of productive public service and continued learning. Students should pay attention to the selection criteria and attributes required for entry into the D.V.M. Program and use this information to guide them in preparation for application.

Additional Attributes required for entry into the D.V.M. Program

Applicants should be aware that a number of attributes are required for admission to the Program. In addition to those already identified above under Selection Criteria (e.g. academic achievement, academic aptitude, integrity) a number of others, some of which relate to certain University of Guelph Learning Objectives, have been identified. These are presented here to assist prospective candidates in preparing themselves for admission.

Application Procedure

Application forms are available upon request from the Ontario Universities Application Centre by email at request@ouac.on.ca or access the computerized application service http://compass.ouac.on.ca.

International applicants must apply by December 1, 2002 and supporting documentation must be submitted by February 1, 2003.

Application Limitation

In total, only four applications for admission to the D.V.M. Program will be considered from an individual.

Admission with Advanced Standing

Applications for admission to advanced semesters will be considered from students who have been enrolled in D.V.M. Programs at other institutions, subject to the availability of places in the D.V.M. Program and the academic standing of the candidate. In no case will admission be considered beyond the fifth semester. When places are available, candidates may be asked to present themselves for interview and may be asked to pass examinations on subject matters in the veterinary curriculum. Applicants are advised that vacancies are rare. The application deadline date for advanced standing applicants is February 1, 2002.

Rabies Immunization

A condition of admission to the D.V.M. Program is agreement to a rabies immunization program which includes blood titre evaluation. Exemption from this condition may be granted in exceptional circumstances, but the student concerned must sign a release absolving the University of further liability.

Use of Animals

Live animals may be used for teaching purposes in some courses in the Veterinary Program, and this must be accepted by students admitted to the program. All animals are protected by the Animals for Research Act of Ontario (1980), the Guidelines for the Care and Use of Experimental Animals (Canadian Council on Animal Care), and the Animal Care Policies of the University of Guelph.

Associate Diploma Programs

For information on the requirements for admission, the procedures to be followed, course descriptions, etc., please request an Associate Diploma Calendar or view on-line at http://www.uoguelph.ca/undergrad_calendar.

Advanced Standing Admission

Post Degree and Letter of Permission

University graduates who wishes to enrol in degree courses to upgrade their degree or to gain credit for admission to a graduate or other academic program should apply to a non-degree category (e.g. Non-degree Arts). Applicants must hold a degree which is recognized as equivalent to a Canadian university's undergraduate or graduate degree. A student from another university wishing to register at the University of Guelph to take courses for credit at the home university, must present a Letter of Permission from the Registrar, Dean or program supervisor of the home institution authorizing a program selection. Official university transcripts must also be presented.

All post-degree and Letter of Permission applicants will be required to complete a statement of intent and submit it to Admission Services.

This category is not normally open to applicants who do not meet University of Guelph general regulations for continuation of study outlined under Continuation of Study, Undergraduate Degree Regulations, Section VIII of the Undergraduate Calendar and transfer requirements.

An offer of admission to post-degree or on the basis of Letter of Permission does not imply in any way that space will be available in the course(s) in which the applicant wishes to register. Students should contact Undergraduate Program Services about space availability in their desired courses.

Candidates applying for admission should use an Ontario Universities' Application Centre 105 application form if they have not previously registered at the University of Guelph. Applicants who have previously registered at this institution should contact Admission Services for the appropriate application form. Applicants must apply by the published deadline dates.

Students who register in the non-degree category and who subsequently want to change to a degree status will be required to meet admission requirements for that program, and credit granted for courses taken in the non-degree category will be subject to the regulations pertaining to that program. Students should see their program counselor for details.

Second Degrees

Students from the University of Guelph or from another university may graduate with a second undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph. If they have graduated with their first degree, they must apply for admission to the program for their second degree. However, only 10.00 credits may be transferred from the initial degree program. The course content of the second degree program must be substantially different from that of the first. If University of Guelph students apply to graduate with two different degrees at the same convocation, only 10.00 credits may be transferred from the registered program to the undeclared program. Note: A second degree is judged to be substantially different if:

Honours Equivalent

Students from the University of Guelph or another university may upgrade a degree from the general program to the honours program to obtain an Honours Equivalent recognition. Students may also upgrade a degree from the honours program by the completion of an additional specialization to qualify for the Honours Equivalent recognition. These students are categorized as continuing students and must be readmitted to the program. All previous University of Guelph credits may be utilized toward the equivalent degree from the honours program.

To be granted an Honours Equivalent, students must satisfy the University of Guelph residence requirements. In addition, students must satisfy the conditions for graduation for the specified honours program using the calendar that is in effect at the time of admission into the continuing category.

The students who are granted the Honours Equivalent designation do not receive a second degree parchment and do not participate in a convocation program, but have the designation shown on their transcript. Graduation standing is not assigned for the Honours Equivalent designation.

Advanced Standing Entry Points

Applicants are considered as 'Advanced Standing' and thereby eligible for admission consideration to the entry points listed below if they will receive 2.00 or more semester transfer credits upon admission. Applicants to the University are requested, where possible, to indicate on the Ontario Universities' Application Centre form their subject of primary interest. In many cases the program code to be inserted on the application form will include the subject of primary interest as outlined in the following table. It should be noted that an offer of admission applies to both the degree program and to the major area of study specified in the offer.

Because enrolment in certain courses is limited by the availability of resources, the University cannot guarantee that all students wishing to take a particular specialization will be accommodated. Applicants wishing to enrol in courses offered in the distance only mode for personal interest or for professional development should contact the Office of Open Learning for further information and to obtain the appropriate application form.

Readmission

Previously registered University of Guelph students must apply to Admission Services for readmission under any of the following conditions:

Readmission to a program at the University of Guelph is not automatic. Students who are required to withdraw must apply for readmission to the University after completing the minimum two semesters of rustication. Students should consult sub-sections regarding appropriate admission requirements and deadline dates in this Section (IV--Admission Information). Applications for readmission should include a statement which outlines the basis for readmission. Criteria used for readmission may differ by academic program. Students considering readmission should consult with the appropriate program counselor regarding procedures and criteria for readmission to that program.

Students requiring readmission must apply to Admission Services, Office of Registrarial Services, University Centre, Level 3. Applications for readmission must be submitted by the deadline date established for each semester (see Section III--Schedule of Dates). An application fee is payable at the time the application is submitted (see Section VI--Schedule of Fees).

On December 19, 1995, the University Senate approved the following policy for the granting of credit while on rustication:

Note: This policy applies to any university credit course taken during the rustication period, be it distance or on-campus, taken in open learning programs from either our university or at another university.

Use of Animals in Teaching

Animals are used to support the teaching in some courses. The University of Guelph is dedicated to maintaining a high level of animal care in all of its teaching programs. Regulated by the Animals for Research Act, the University is in compliance with the standards set by the Canadian Council on Animal Care. Guelph has long been a leader in the promotion of animal welfare issues, and in 1989, established the Colonel K.L. Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare, the first such centre in North America. The Centre promotes humane systems of animal management and fosters the development of alternatives in animal use in research and teaching.

Application Procedures

Associate Diploma are outlined in the Diploma Program Calendar. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine procedures are outlined in the previous section "Admission Requirements". All procedures are applicable to both full and part-time applicants. Applicants for part-time study are considered on the same basis as full-time applicants, and therefore must meet the published admission requirements for the program desired.

Applicants from Ontario Currently Enrolled in Secondary School

See information on "Admission Requirements" for specific OAC requirements for the various programs. The OUAC 101 form may be used by all applicants who are currently enrolled in an Ontario Secondary School as a day school student. The 101s are distributed to students by the secondary schools during the Fall term. Normally applicants will receive an offer of admission to only one program or specialization at the University of Guelph. Applicants who apply to more than one program at the University of Guelph will have their highest choice program considered first. Only in the event that a student is ineligible for admission to the highest choice program will consideration be given to the lower choices. Students who apply directly to a Co-op program and who are not admitted will be considered for the regular degree program. Applicants to the University are requested, where possible, to indicate on the application form their subject of primary interest. In many cases the program code to be inserted on the form will include the subject of primary interest. It should be noted that an offer of admission applies to both the degree program and to the major area of study specified in the offer. Because enrolment in certain courses is limited by the availability of resources, the University cannot guarantee that all students wishing to take a particular specialization will be accommodated. The Application Centre will acknowledge receipt of the application form to the applicant by means of the Verification/Amendment form (OUAC 103).

Amendments to the Application Form

A student who has applied via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) will receive a Verification/Amendment form (OUAC 103 form), as soon as the Application Centre has processed the application. This form may be used to make biographical and academic status changes to the original application. If any revisions to the application are made, the University of Guelph will be notified of the applicable changes approximately one week after the OUAC receives the amendment form. Although all amendments are important to the processing of each application, changes to academic program choice, entry points, residence status, surname, mailing and home addresses are of significant importance and should be reported via an OUAC 103 form as soon as the situation arises. Amendments must be received by the published application deadline dates.

Students who have applied on a University of Guelph application form as opposed to an OUAC application form must notify Admission Services, in writing, of any biographical or academic status changes.

Applicants from Ontario Not Currently Enrolled in Secondary School

Applicants who are not currently enrolled in an Ontario secondary school as a day school student should use the OUAC 105 application form. This includes the following types of applicants: adult, night school, correspondence, those who previously obtained the Secondary School Honour Graduation Diploma or the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Applicants who apply to more than one program at the University of Guelph will have their highest choice program considered first. Only in the event that a student is ineligible for admission to the highest choice program will consideration be given to the lower choices. Students who apply directly to a Co-op program and who are not admitted will be considered for the regular degree program.

Many students may wish to present additional information for consideration by the Committee on Admissions. This may be information pertaining to their academic background, employment data, reasons for requesting admission or proposed program of study. This information should be submitted directly to Admission Services, Office of Registrarial Services, Level 3, University Centre, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1. If there is no additional information submitted, the decision of the Admissions Committee will be based strictly on academic performance as indicated on all official transcripts submitted.

All Other External Students Applying From Within Canada

All other students applying from within Canada should complete a 105D application form. These applicants would include those applying from:

In addition, students within Canada applying under the Mature Student Regulation, to General Studies, to Post Degree or on a Letter of Permission should complete the 105D form. The 105D form is available from any Ontario university. Students may obtain a form directly from the Ontario Universities' Application Centre, 170 Research Lane, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 5E2 (phone 519-823-1940). The form is also available from Admission Services, U.C. Level 3, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1 (519-823-2130).

Applying From Outside Canada

Students applying from outside Canada are strongly advised to begin the application procedure six to eight months prior to the proposed entry point. Those applying for admission to the Fall semester should endeavour to have their application, along with all required documentation, in Admission Services no later than April 1 in order to ensure a timely decision. There are 3 application options:

Applicants who wish to check on the status of their application or to verify that all required documentation has been received may contact the International Transcript Clerk at jemeneau@registrar.uoguelph.ca. Applicants should not direct questions about the possibility of admission to this address. Please refer to previous sections on Applicants from Outside Ontario and Applicants from Universities Outside of Canada for general information on admission requirements. The admission committees, upon receipt of a completed application form and all pertinent documentation, will make specific admission assessments for individual applicants.

Applying From Another Campus of the University of Guelph (Alfred, Kemptville, Ridgetown)

These applicants should contact Admission Services directly for a Special Internal Transfer Application form.

Applying For Internal Transfer or Readmission

University of Guelph students wishing to apply to another program within the University or for readmission should complete the Internal Transfer Application form which is available from Admission Services.

Communication of Admission Decisions

Applicants who are not currently in any secondary or post-secondary program can normally expect to receive an admission decision within a three to four week period following receipt of the application and all official documents by Admission Services, if they have not applied to a limited enrolment program. All applicants for limited enrolment programs will be considered at the same time in competition for the spaces which are available. These meetings are normally scheduled for the last week in June or the first week in July.

Students currently enrolled in a secondary or post-secondary program will normally be required to submit all official transcripts at the conclusion of their program before a decision regarding their admission will be made.

Exceptions to this rule are made for students currently enrolled in the final year of secondary school in the procedures outlined under the section entitled Admission Plans. Admission decisions for the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program and the D.V.M. Program will not be made until after the deadline date for receipt of applications and documentation. Decisions will be communicated to applicants approximately one month after that date.

Submission of Documents

Each of the following applicable documents must be sent in support of an application. Personal documents will be returned. Please note that official transcripts submitted will become the property of the University of Guelph and will not be returned except in special circumstances. Normally, official transcripts must be sent directly to the University by the institution issuing the document. The applicant is responsible for ensuring that all documents are received in Admission Services by the document deadline. No decision will be made until all documents have been received. Applications with incomplete documentation after the document deadline date will not receive consideration.

Right of Selection

It should be carefully noted that possession of the minimum requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to any of the programs or specializations offered at the University of Guelph. For all programs for which the number of qualified applicants exceeds the quota, the University reserves the right to select the quota from among the qualified applicants.

For students applying to enter the University for the first time, the decision of the Admissions Committee is final and there shall be no appeal to that decision.

An applicant for readmission may, under specific circumstances, appeal the decision of the Admissions Committee to deny readmission. Refer to Readmission in Section IV--Admission Information.

Applicants are reminded that the University is a dynamic institution and that information pertaining to admission may change. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ascertain admission requirements at the time of application.

The University normally will not defer admission to a subsequent entry point. Applicants who are unable to register at the entry point for which admission is offered will be required to amend their application or to re-apply.

For additional admission information, write: University of Guelph, Admission Services, University Centre, Level 3, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1

Deadline Dates - Advanced Standing, Non-Degree and Limited Enrolment Programs

While the final dates for receipt of applications are listed on the chart below, applicants are advised to submit their applications well in advance of the proposed date of enrolment. The University of Guelph cannot guarantee that applicants submitting applications or supporting documentation after the deadlines will receive admission consideration for the Fall entry point due to space limitations which may exist within programs.
