Admissions Planning

Fall 2027 application planning

Brock University admission requirements and current averages

Ontario applicants need an OSSD and six Grade 12 4U or 4M credits, including every prerequisite for the chosen program. Brock excludes co-op courses from the six-credit count and admission average. The general eligibility minimum is 70%, but many programs publish higher competitive levels and additional subject or evaluation requirements.

General minimum

70%

This is an eligibility floor, not a universal competitive or guaranteed admission average.

Ontario course count

Include all program prerequisites. Grade 12 co-op courses do not count in Brock's admission calculation.

Offer policy

Brock advises applicants to rank their preferred program first and may consider an admissible alternate when possible.

Fall 2027

Fall 2027 cycle status

2027 pending

Brock's live deadline page still publishes the 2026 cycle: a January 15, 2026 OUAC application deadline and a June 1, 2026 acceptance date. The admission criteria chart is labelled for a 2026 entry, and OUAC's own undergraduate key-dates page also still shows the January 15, May 28, and June 1, 2026 sequence. No Fall 2027 Brock or OUAC dates are published yet.

The January 15 Group A deadline recurs annually, so treat January 15, 2027 as the working planning date—but verify Brock's deadline page and OUAC once the Fall 2027 cycle is posted.

Programs and Pathways

Brock University programs and application routes

Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes

Brock University co-op: entry, work terms, and eligibility

Brock co-op is a structured academic option with direct-entry and selected later-entry routes. The current model includes three four-month work terms of at least 420 hours each and the mandatory non-credit 0N90 preparation course, for at least 12 months of accumulated work experience.

High-school entry

Apply to a Brock co-op stream through the undergraduate university application. Co-op is a distinct choice rather than automatic access from every regular program.

Later entry

Selected programs accept applications after first year. The live 2026 page lists a March 2–June 1 window and says space can be limited.

Later-entry eligibility

Current students need full-time standing, no more than 5.0 credits, legal authorization to work, and Honours standing—typically 70% in major and 60% in non-major courses. Public Health lists 75%.

Work-term structure

Brock currently requires three four-month work terms, at least 420 hours each, plus the mandatory non-credit 0N90 professional preparation course.

Degree timing

Brock says the accelerated co-op sequence typically extends the corresponding regular degree by four months and provides at least 12 months of accumulated work experience.

Employment

Work terms are typically paid, but applicants should not interpret co-op admission as a job guarantee. Hiring still depends on applications, interviews, eligibility, and employer decisions.

Published 2026 co-op fees

Brock's 2026 program-related fee schedule lists a $917.89 entry fee, a $300.00 Co-op Student Support Fee, and $889.00 for the 0N90 course, with each work term charged as the applicable half-credit tuition fee. All co-op fees are non-refundable and subject to change.

Paid work is typical; placement is not guaranteed

Students still compete for roles through applications and interviews. Employer decisions, academic standing, work authorization, and the supply of suitable jobs all matter. The March 2–June 1 later-entry window shown on Brock's live page is for 2026 and must be rechecked for the next cycle.

Current program

How Brock currently describes its co-op program

Confirmed

Brock's co-op landing page invites students to build a career with 'one of Canada's most diverse co-op programs.' The program office reports that 98% of co-op employers rated students' work-term performance 'Good' and above and 90% of students rated their work-term satisfaction 8 or higher out of 10.

Brock's current first-party pages do not claim to be Ontario's largest co-op program—do not repeat that framing without a source.

Work-term structure and standing rules

Confirmed

Co-op students complete three four-month work terms of at least 420 hours each plus the mandatory non-credit 0N90 Professional Preparation course. The accelerated sequence typically extends the degree by four months and delivers at least 12 months of work experience. Students must maintain Honours standing—typically 70% in the major and 60% in non-major courses, with Public Health at 75%. Work terms are typically paid, but some industries may not offer pay.

Brock University applicants need to distinguish the 70% eligibility floor from program-specific competitive levels, match exact prerequisites and supplementary evaluations, separate confirmed OUAC dates from Brock's still-current 2026 pages, and compare co-op entry, net cost, scholarships, residence, meal plans, and English requirements. This guide keeps those decisions on one canonical, official-source-backed page.
