Faculty of Education

Past and current University of Regina students applying to the Faculty of Education must go through the regular application process. This includes:

• Students who have not registered in the past three semesters and want to register in the same faculty you last attended:
• Students who would like to transfer to the Faculty of Education from another faculty at the University of Regina

 

If you attended another post-secondary institution, you must arrange for an official transcript to be sent to the Admissions Office directly from all institutions attended, if you have not already done so.

If you are returning after being required to discontinue your studies, a letter of petition must be submitted with your application form.

English Language Proficiency

The language of instruction at the University of Regina is English. All applicants to the University of Regina must therefore demonstrate an appropriate level of proficiency in the English language, unless they are entering the Baccalaureate en education program, in which case they must meet the French language proficiency requirement. Find information on English language proficiency requirements here.

Current U of R students who have attempted a minimum of 15 credit hours at the U of R must have a minimum UGPA of 65% on their most recent 30 credit hours of U of R courses.

Current U of R students who have attempted less than 15 credit hours at the U of R will either be assessed on the combined average on their most recent 30 credit hours of previous post-secondary if they have attempted a minimum of 15 credit hours of approved post-secondary studies, or will be assessed on the high school admission requirements if they have no post-secondary, or less than 15 credit hours total completed.

Note: If applicants do not have an AGPA of 65% on the last 30 credit hours of post-secondary courses attempted, we will look at their entire post-secondary record.

Bachelor of Education After Degree (BEAD): Must have an approved first degree with a minimum UGPA of 65%. Applicants who have not been awarded a degree upon submission of their application will be required to provide confirmation of their degree status from their respective institution prior to beginning the Education program.
