Transfer


Transfer students have always been welcome.  From the earliest days, the Faculty of Business has sought to encourage and facilitate students' life-long learning.  We have done so by recognizing learning regardless of its many possible origins.  Consistent with the belief that we offer one of the most personalized post-secondary educational environments, we have made (and continue to make) every effort to tailor each student's program of studies to his/her current needs based on past education and experience.

We were the first Business School in Ontario to offer a formal transfer program for graduates of three-year Community College Business Programs who wanted to add the level of analytical skills commonly taught in university programs to their personal qualifications.  We continue to offer this option with a clear understanding gained from years of experience of the support needed to help students make the transition from college to university an easier one.
