1) Graduates of a two-year Ontario College Diploma from an environmental-related program from a qualifying Ontario or equivalent College of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT), with a cumulative average of a least a B (73%) grade), are eligible for admission to Bachelor of Science Honours Environmental Science-Applied Environmental Science Stream degree program offered by the School of the Environment at the University of Windsor under the provisions of this agreement. The Dean of Science or their designate has the authority to admit students from qualifying colleges in equivalent diploma programs within Canada pending that they meet all other admission requirements.
2) In addition to the appropriate two-year Diploma and grade point average, applicants to the Bachelor of Science Honours Environmental Science-Applied Environmental Science Stream are required to have successfully completed MHF4U, SCH4U, and SBI4U or their equivalent courses. Students who have not completed these courses or their equivalents will be required to complete the equivalent courses within the Foundations of Science Preparation Program.
3) Students admitted to the Bachelor of Science Honours Environmental Science-Applied Environmental Science Stream will obtain the equivalent of 2 years of Advanced Standing (or awarded 20 course transfers).
4) Students are required to complete twenty (20) courses at the University of Windsor in fulfillment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Science Honours Environmental Science-Applied Environmental Science Stream.
5) The Bachelor of Science Honours Environmental Science-Applied Environmental Science Stream will be reviewed and amended, if appropriate, by the School of the Environment every five years following the approval of the stream. This timing corresponds with the review frequency undertaken by the CAAT diploma programs forming the basis of admission and this frequency of review will ensure the program curriculum and requirements adapt to these standards as they shift.
Recognized environmental-related programs include:
- Environmental Technician (MCU code 52700)
- Forestry Technician (MCU 54203)
- Any environmental-related program from a qualifying Ontario CAAT or other Canadian College deemed equivalent by the Dean of Science or their designate.
Note: Three-year diploma programs in relevant environmental fields will be analyzed for additional potential credit transfer on an ad hoc basis, while considering minimum residency and core course requirements.
