Applicants who have completed a three-year CAAT program with a cumulative average of "B" (2.7 g.p.a.), or have a "B" average or better in the last two semesters of a three-year CAAT program may be considered for admission and for transfer credit to a maximum of 5.0 courses in Arts, Science and Social Science or the first year of a professional program. Where academic content is equivalent to that of a three-year diploma or upon consultation with the appropriate Faculty, applicants presenting a two-year diploma from a College of Applied Arts and Technology with a minimum average of "B" (2.7 g.p.a.) may be considered for trasnfer credit up to a maximum of 5.0 courses. - Where necessary, the grades for CAATs whose marking schemes differ from that of this University shall be translated into the equivalent grades of The University of Western Ontario and admissibility assessed in those terms.
- Applicants who have completed a three-year CAAT diploma program in either Environmental
Technology or Science Laboratory Technology (Fanshawe College), with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, will be considered for admission into either three- or four-year degrees, taking specific modules in Environmental Science which may be combined with specific modules in Chemistry, and for transfer credit to a maximum of 9.0 courses. Contact the Dean's Office, Faculty of Science, for more information. - For admission following exemption from Year I of a CAAT program following Ontario Grade 12 or its equivalent:
- With a Two-Year Diploma:
Applicants who have been exempted from Year I of a CAAT program following Ontario Grade 12 or its equivalent, and who present proof of completion of a two year diploma, are eligible for admission if they obtain an overall average of "B" (2.7 g.p.a.) or better.

Engineering Applicants
CAAT applicants for admission to first year of Engineering should have completed a two-year technician or a three-year technology program. Applicants who have completed a three-year technology program with a cumulative average of "A" (3.5 g.p.a.) or better may, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering, be granted transfer credit for a maximum of 9 courses. Applicants who have completed a two-year technician or a three-year technology program with a cumulative average of 2.7 GPA may, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering, be granted transfer credit for a maximum of 6.0 courses. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission is competitive. Engineering science and design courses taught at a CAAT will not be considered for transfer credit toward the BESc degree based on Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) guidelines. Only science or complementary studies courses are considered. Notwithstanding, students who applied to Engineering from other college programs are required to have the equivalent of OAC/Grade 12 U prerequisites for the Engineering program, otherwise upgrading will be required prior to admission.
