Admission Services will contact you regarding the documents required, once your application is received.

Documents to submit may include:

Official transcripts (required)
You must request all college/university (in-progress and final) transcripts and high school transcripts to be sent to international@guelphhumber.ca from your school administrator/counselor. We encourage you to send interim transcripts as early as possible to assist with your admission consideration. If needed, you may request the originating institution(s) send your official transcripts in a sealed envelope directly to the University.

We highly recommend that you have your international credentials evaluated prior to applying to determine how your credentials will be recognized in Canada. Credentials can be evaluated through World Education Services. Please submit a WES or ICAS Course by Course evaluation and ensure that you add the University of Guelph-Humber as a recipient to your file once you make an application to the University of Guelph-Humber. Fees for the credential evaluation may apply.

English language requirements (may be required)
If your first language is not English, or if you have completed less than four years of study in English at the secondary (or postsecondary) level, then you are required to submit proof of English proficiency. Test results must be less than two years prior to your application. Please refer to our chart of accepted tests/scores.

You will receive an email with detailed instructions (after you apply) if you are required to demonstrate English proficiency as part of your application.

Education Declaration (may be required)
You can find the Education Declaration online. It is a form provided by the University to document your academic history. You will be notified on your WebAdvisor account if we require this form.

Detailed course syllabi
Please submit detailed course outlines and syllabi for transfer credit assessment purposes.

Transfer Credit
Transcripts, in addition to course syllabi and other supporting documents, will be evaluated at the time of admission to determine potential transfer credit. Your completed postsecondary coursework will be assessed for relevance and credit awarded where applicable. Please note, certificates are not eligible for transfer credit.

University transfer applicants will have credit reviewed on a course by course basis from recognized institutions. Please note that course sequencing for our programs is very structured each semester. Although you may receive transfer credit towards your degree, a required course may not be offered until a specific semester, which may result in a longer degree completion time.

An official Transfer Credit Assessment will be included at point of admission.

If you have any questions, please email our International Recruitment and Admissions Coordinator or call (+1) 416.798.1331 ext. 17798. Please note that phone calls and appointment meetings take place during business hours in ET.

Please note: Documents submitted in support of an application become the property of the University and will not be returned.
