Transfer credits

If you receive an offer of admission, we'll assess you for possible transfer credit using the course outlines (syllabi) you provided. The transfer credit you receive will depend on when you took the course, the course content, and the grade you earned in the course. You can receive up to 2.0 units (equivalent to four Waterloo courses) towards your Waterloo degree. Please refer to our transfer credit policies for further information.

General requirements

  • High school diploma with six Grade 12 academic courses.
  • With the exception of Economics 12 and Financial Accounting 12, subjects from the Applied Design, Skills and Technology (ADST) curriculum do not count toward the six academic courses required for admission.
  • When it becomes available, upload a transcript with your second semester mid-term marks as soon as possible. While BC will automatically send your marks electronically, they will not arrive in time for you to be considered for admission.

Notes

  • You can apply either to Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) or Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM), but not both. If you're interested in other financial management programs, you can apply to Computing and Financial Management and/or Science and Financial Management in addition to your AFM or SFM application.
  • You need to provide an English language test score if your four most recent years of full-time education have not been in an English language school system.
