If you completed your undergraduate studies outside of Canada or the United States, you are required to obtain a credential evaluation as part of your application to Windsor Law.
Credential evaluations allow your academic record to be assessed according to Canadian equivalency standards.

Credential evaluation requirements are administered through the Ontario Law School Application Service (OLSAS).
In all cases:
- Applicants with undergraduate degrees from institutions outside of Canada or the United States must have their transcripts evaluated.
- Specific requirements including document submission and evaluation type are determined by OLSAS.
Applicants should review the official OLSAS transcript guidelines before initiating this process.
