Faculty of Science

If you have previously been accepted to the University of Regina, or are currently a U of R student interested in transferring to a different faculty, you will apply for re-admission or transfer.

Re-admission is required when you:
• Have not registered in the past three semesters and want to register in the same faculty you last attended
• Would like to return after being required to discontinue

Internal faculty transfer is required when you:
• Would like to transfer to another faculty at the University of Regina
• Would like to change your registration status (U of R, Campion, First Nations University of Canada or Luther)
• Would like to transfer to another faculty after you were required to discontinue your studies in one faculty

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.

If you are applying for a faculty transfer, you must meet the requirements for the new faculty.
