Admissions Planning

Fall 2027 undergraduate admission

Apply to King's within Western's OUAC choices

This is King's University College in London, Ontario—not The King's University in Edmonton and not Western Main Campus. Use the King's program choice, requirements, portal, and residence process for a King's application.

General Fall 2027 deadline

Pending

No complete cycle-labelled King's calendar was live on August 16, 2026.

Ontario base

OSSD + 6 U/M

ENG4U is required; BMOS also requires two specified Grade 12 math courses.

University transfer

70% (B- / 2.7)

A published minimum, not a guarantee of admission.

Do not advance standing dates

The live page says applications open September 18 and shows January 15 as equal consideration, but it does not identify a complete Fall 2027 cycle. Several named award records do explicitly confirm January 1–April 30, 2027; that window applies only to those awards.

Applicant routePublished baseKing's boundary

Fall 2027 general application opening

Pending

The current King's page says applications open September 18 but does not label that date for the 2027 cycle.

Fall 2027 equal-consideration deadline

Pending

The live page still shows January 15 without a 2027 cycle label; confirm on the future King's and OUAC cycle pages.

Fall 2027 residence guarantee

Pending

Current standing copy says apply before June 2, while the admission calendar describes June 1 as the guaranteed-residence response date; 2027 terms are not yet cycle-labelled.

Programs and Pathways

King's programs and Western boundaries

A Western degree does not make every Western program a King's program

Western confers the credential and its Senate governs academic rules. King's remains the home institution for the programs, advising, awards, residence, and career routes described here.

Institution

Western affiliate

King's is its own affiliated university college in London.

Credential

Western degree

Conferred under the affiliation agreement for approved study.

Social Work entry

Year 3

The EKS option is not direct first-year BSW admission.

Attribute every benefit

King's students can use named Western libraries, athletics, services, and eligible courses. Program ownership, prerequisites, capacity, and affiliation rules still control access; neither Ivey nor another Western faculty becomes a King's program automatically.

Arts and Social Sciences

King's offers humanities and social-science study in its own academic units, including distinctive areas such as Thanatology and Social Justice and Peace Studies.

Boundary: The King's list is not Western's complete program catalogue, and first-year admission is general rather than direct to every module.

Management and Organizational Studies

King's BMOS is a King's program with its own published prerequisites and current MOS internship courses.

Boundary: It is not automatic Ivey HBA admission and does not establish access to every Western business route.

Social Work

King's offers accredited BSW and MSW programs with substantial in-person practicum requirements.

Boundary: The undergraduate Social Work OUAC code is for year-three entry, not direct first-year BSW admission.

Thanatology

King's describes its program as North America's only undergraduate Thanatology degree and includes a 45-hour field placement.

Boundary: This claim belongs to King's; it should not be generalized to Western's whole catalogue.

Formalized double majors

King's publishes intentionally designed double-major combinations across selected disciplines.

Boundary: Eligibility, module, course, and progression rules still apply to each combination.

Western degree and course access

Eligible King's graduates receive a Western degree, and students have access to Western libraries, athletics, services, and eligible courses.

Boundary: Western Senate governs admission and academic rules; cross-registration does not make every Western program a King's offering.

Residence and Campus Fit

King's-owned residence planning

Compare King's rooms, required meal plans, and added charges

Alumni Court, Townhouses, and Wemple Hall are King's residence options—not Western's full residence system. Current prices are 2026–27; Fall 2027 prices and cycle-labelled guarantee terms remain pending.

Current guarantee, future cycle pending

King's standing copy guarantees qualifying first-year applicants who apply before June 2. Because it is not labelled Fall 2027, use it as the latest policy and confirm the future cycle before relying on it.

Tuition, Scholarships, and Aid

Use the 2026–27 PDFs; keep 2027–28 costs pending

The final schedules separate Ontario, other-Canadian, international, BMOS, and non-BMOS fee bands. The totals include listed King's and Western charges, so tuition alone is not the full planning figure.

Final 2026–27 schedule: $6,171 tuition plus listed King's and Western charges.

Canadian BMOS Year 1

Entrance-award ladders

Domestic high-school automatic ladder

Current 2026–27 amounts at 85–89.9%, 90–94.9%, and 95%+, with a 4.0-course registration requirement.

Arts and Humanities entrance ladder

$2,000 / $3,000 / $4,000

Current ladder at the same grade bands; cannot be held with another King's entrance scholarship and requires at least two Arts and Humanities courses.

International high-school automatic ladder

$3,500 / $4,000 / $5,000

Current ladder at 85–89.9%, 90–94.9%, and 95%+, with a 4.0-course registration requirement.

Transfer entrance ladder

$1,000–$2,500 Canadian; $2,000–$5,000 international

Current published bands run from 80–84.9% through 95%+ and differ by domestic or international status.

Mathematics Excellence Award

$500 additional

Eligible domestic Ontario applicants need 85%+ in two listed Grade 12 math courses and 1.0 first-year mathematics course.

Fall 2027 automatic ladders

Pending

Selected named awards show January 1–April 30, 2027 applications, but the automatic amounts remain labelled 2026–27.

Only selected 2027 award dates are live

Several named awards explicitly show January 1–April 30, 2027. The automatic scholarship ladders are still labelled 2026–27, so their Fall 2027 continuation and values remain pending.

Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes

King's internships, practica, and career support

Match the work experience to the specific King's program

MOS has approved internship courses, Social Work has required practica, and Thanatology includes a short field placement. These distinct routes do not establish universal co-op at King's or across Western.

MOS internship

Current King's MOS courses describe approved pass/fail industry placements of 8, 9–12, or 13–16 months after a prerequisite workshop.

BSW practica

King's publishes at least 210 hours in Year 3 and at least 525 hours across two terms in Year 4.

MSW practica

The one-year MSW includes at least 450 practicum hours; the two-year MSW includes a 450-hour practicum in each year.

Thanatology field placement

The undergraduate Thanatology program includes a 45-hour placement.

Career support

King's offers résumé, interview, job-board, shadowing, internship, fair, and counselling support; King's students may also use Western Career Services.

No universal co-op

These are program-specific King's internships, practica, and placements, not evidence that every King's or Western program includes co-op.

Western access has limits

King's students may use Western Career Services, but that shared service does not import every Western co-op or internship program into the King's catalogue.

Current experiential learning

No universal King's or Western co-op claim is supported

Confirmed

The fetched evidence documents specific MOS internships, Social Work practica, Thanatology placement, and experiential courses rather than co-op in every program.

Do not convert affiliation or access to Western services into universal access to Western co-op programs.

King's University College applicants should begin with the affiliated-college boundary: this is the London, Ontario college at Western, not The King's University in Edmonton or Western Main Campus. They should apply through the King's choice within Western on OUAC, use the King's Portal and route-specific requirements, keep the general Fall 2027 calendar and 2027–28 prices pending, compare finalized 2026–27 tuition and King's-owned residence, and attribute programs, awards, internships, practica, services, and Western access to the institution that actually owns them.
