Question

I am a University of Guelph student. How do I apply?

Answer

Current and former University of Guelph students do not need to apply through the OUAC. They must compete the Application for Program Transfer OR Re-admission form and send it directly to Registrarial Services - Admission at the University of Guelph-Humber. Applicant who have studied at other institutions in addition to studying at the University of Guelph-Humber must send transcripts from those institutions.

Question

I graduated from high school a year ago, and I haven’t attended college or university. Am I at a disadvantage compared to students who applied straight from high school?

Answer

No. The application form you will fill out through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre will be different (OUAC 105), but there is no advantage or disadvantage for students applying using different application forms. A student who has taken time off will be evaluated using the same academic criteria as students applying directly from high school, and you will be equally considered for the same scholarships, bursaries and residence as students applying directly from high school.

Question

Do you have any tips for the application process for students not applying directly from high school?

Answer

Although the deadline to apply for our programs is May 1, we strongly recommend that you apply as early as possible. (Deadline to apply for Media Studies is February 1).

To facilitate potential credit assessment, applicants who have attended college and do not possess a high affinity diploma or university applicants are strongly encouraged to submit detailed course description from their post-secondary study. College and/or university applicants are encouraged to submit official transcripts from their college or university upon completion of their program of study.

We encourage applicants to complete the online Mature and Transfer Student Profile. The information provided on this form will allow the admission committee to consider more than academic performance. We are also interested in knowing about activities in which you have been involved that have contributed to your personal development such as work, volunteer experience and community development.

Question

I've competed some post-secondary education. How will you consider my application?

Answer

Anyone who has attended or is currently enrolled in a post-secondary institution (college or university) may apply for admission to the University of Guelph-Humber's programs. An applicant with this profile is considered a "transfer" applicant.

Due to the nature of the University of Guelph-Humber's programs and the limited number of electives in each program, students transferring should be aware that it is rare to be able to enter into year three or four of any programs directly without having to complete some year one and two courses. This number of transfer credits granted is not automatic and will be assessed on an individual basis.

Question

Does it matter how I ranked the University of Guelph-Humber in my choice of universities?

Answer

No. The order of choice on the university application form does not affect admission or scholarships. However, if you are applying to more than one program at the University of Guelph-Humber, you should place your choices in order of preference.

You can expect to receive only one Offer of Admission from the University of Guelph-Humber. Your highest choice will be considered first, so we recommend that you place your preferred program as your first choice when filling out the university application form.

If you are offered admission to your highest choice program but would like to be considered for a lower choice program, please contact Admission Services at admissions@guelphhumber.ca.

Question	Can I apply to more than one program at the University of Guelph-Humber?
Answer	You can apply to more than one program. Make sure to rank the programs in order of preference on the application. Only in the event that an applicant is NOT eligible for their first choice, will a review of a lower choice(s) be completed.
